Are you looking for an easy way to check the color of the Sign In screen in Windows 8, without having to edit the registry? There’s nothing wrong with using the registry tweaking methods, but not everyone is comfortable doing that. Registry editing can be pretty intimidating, especially since one small mistake can mess up your entire computer.
Luckily, you don’t have to put your computer at risk just because you simply want to change the color of your Sign In screen. Instead, you can download and use Sign In Screen Color Changer by WinAero. It’s a very simple tool that does just what the name says: changes the color of your Sign in Screen in Windows 8.
Here’s how it works.
1. Download the program, unzip the folder to reveal the exe file, and open the application. Since its a portable application, it runs right from the folder that it’s in and you can easily use it from any USB flash drive or external hard drive.
2. Once opened, the Sign In Screen Color Changer application will open up and you can select the color that you want to use.
3. You can also choose to apply that same color set to the current user, which means that the color set will also be used for your start screen.
4. Once you click on the “Apply” button, you’ll need to log out of your account and then log back in to see the changes.
There you have it: no registry editing, a simple application, and a new color set for your Sign In screen.
