Thanks Brad Wardell for emailing us :)
Stardock has made available a developer's release of LogonXP. LogonXP is a program that actually lets you create your own logons without having to distribute any EXE's. It is a freeware program that lets users simply modify the bitmaps in a directory and apply them like they would any other type of theme or skin.
This developer's release is designed for reasonably technical people (to create your own logon, just press the new button and it'll start you with the standard Windows XP logon that you can modify). Stardock LogonXP can also extract the bitmap and settings from most of the logonui's floating around the net.
Stardock LogonXP has been in development for the past several weeks, this is the first general public version of it. Users can submit comments and themes to Stardock's news server and shortly to the various customization sites.
LogonXP is freeware and Stardock is making the .logon format open for anyone to use as they see fit.
