Custom Welcome Screen Icon

Do you know whether it's possible to customize a screen icon for the iPod MINI? I would like my own icon to show up either (a) just at startup, after the apple icon, and/or (b) as a screensaver.
Any helpful suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

b No, It is Not possible. The iPod Softare Does not allow You to change Any setting made for the Product (exepting Some iPod options that you can make Yourelf with your iPod).
Otherwise, You would have to find the Emplacement to Put your icon.. And Even after, You wouldn't know if You have the Good Art Type (format of the File).
Hope This helps.

Custom Welcome Screen

Can anyone tell me how to create a custom welcome screen that people will see when they log on to my Airport network?

Custom Home Screen Icons

I was wondering how difficult it was to create Home Screen icons for sites (like Apple and Yahoo! have).
I am a web designer and graphic artist but I'm not an "app developer." It seems it would just be a matter of creating a square graphic and somehow coding it to download when the "Add to Home Screen" is clicked.
Is this out of my league? Has anyone here made any?

In case anyone else is interested, you just need to create a 57x57 pixel graphic file, saved in PNG format, and named apple-touch-icon.png to place in the root directory of your web site. The iPhone will round the corners and add the glossy-looking overlay to the icon.
If you don't have access to the site's root directory, you can add a link to the file in the head of your HTML page... for example: *<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://www.mysite.com/apple-touch-icon.png" />*
Keep in mind, they look best when kept simple.

Instructions to create custom home screen icons for websites and phone #'s

Here are instructions to create a home screen icon for a phone number or a website. This is very cool!
1. Go to http://webclip.us on your computer (not on your phone) and click on "create now".
2. In icon label, type what you want to call your icon.
3. In URL, type either the URL of the website you want to link to, or for a phone number link, type http://##########.tel.QLNK.net (where ########## is the 10 digit phone number you want).
4. In icon file, click the arrow to browse to the photo or image you want the icon to display.
5. Enter the security code shown, then click "upload now". You will get a "webclip number".
6. Now on your iPhone in Safari, go to http://webclip.us and enter the webclip number your computer just generated, and tap Go.
7. Use the plus sign to add the icon to your home screen, change the name to whatever you want, and you will have a cool little icon with the photo you uploaded!
If you used the phone number option, when you tap the icon on your home page, it will launch Safari and then pop up "Call" and "Cancel" buttons to call that phone number directly. If you used a website URL, it will launch that website just like a regular webclip.
So I now have an icon with my husband's face on it that dials his phone number. Very cool!!

Edit to make it clear that I don't take credit for creating this procedure - I simply found a reference to them in another post and posted the step-by-step here because it worked so well for me.

Do you know if this requires the 1.1.3 upgrade.. I got all the way through it until the end where it would not give me a plus sign or a way to add it.. wondering if it can be done with 1.1.2 thanks!

Custom home screen icon for a webapp.. just like Google - How?

I noticed that when you add Google to your home screen it displays a custom icon.. not an image of the website like other sites. I am trying to figure out if there is a way to do this for my own webapps. I searched through the Google.com source code but didn't find anything that appeared to have anything to do with that icon.
Hopefully this is possible for developers. Right now most of my icons are all white and its hard to distinguish which is which without reading the text below it.

Found it on the iPhone web dev page..
iPhone and iPod touch allow a user to save a WebClip bookmark to your site on their Home Screen.
To specify a bookmark icon for all pages of a web site, place a PNG image named "apple-touch-icon.png" at the root directory of your web server - similar to the "favicon.ico" for site icons.
To override the site bookmark icon on a specific web page, insert a <link> element similar to <link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="/customIcon.png"/> within the <head> element of the page.
The bookmark icon dimensions should be 57x57 pixels. If the icon is a different size it will be scaled and cropped to fit.
Safari will automatically composite the icon with the standard "glassy" overlay so it looks like a built-in iPhone or iPod application.

How to create a custom home screen icon for your website and where to upload it

I created a joomla 3 site used Icon Slate to size icon but know where to upload the icons. Right now when a user goes to "Add to Home Screen" It just uses a copy of the page they are on.

Photoshop crashes while displaying welcome screen

We have developed a plug in for Photoshop. Once we have installed the same on target system, this customized welcome screen appears when we open photoshop. Now an attempt to close photoshop 'with the welcome screen still open results in a crash'. This welcome screen is a modal dialog, run on a thread.
I am not very comfortable with the idea of running this modal dialog on a thread. But, it has been implemented this way. I feel this is where things are going wrong.
Any tips or suggestions as to what can be wrong, or where i need to be looking to debug the same.
I have tried to debug the same, but in vain.
thanks in adavnce

If you want a welcome screen you should make an automation plug-in that responds to first idle. You can probably get away with using a thread for your dialog. Make sure the thread does not communicate with the Photoshop. Have the thread talk to the main plug-in thread, the PluginMain routine that Photoshop called, if you need to use Photoshop call backs.

Customize Welcome Screen for Windows 7

Scenario
Windows 7 displays the Welcome screen which contains a list of available user accounts when the computer is a part of a workgroup or homegroup.
This article describes how to customize Welcome screen for Windows 7, and there are two display style for choice:
Logon screen
Last logon user and others
Summary
Method 1: Logon Screen
The Logon screen requires users to type a logon name rather than selecting an account from a list of available accounts.
Click Start, and type gpedit.msc in the Search to
launch Group Policy Editor;
Expand to the policy entry Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Optionss;
Double-Click the policy Interactive logon: Do not display last user name, click
Enabled, and then click OK;
Click Start, and type cmd in the Search box. Right-click
cmd.exe in the Programs list, and then click
Run as administrator. Type gpupdate /force and press
Enter to refresh the Group Policy.
After logging off or switching user, the customized welcome screen will be as shown below.
Method 2: Last logon user and others
Click Start, and type gpedit.msc in the Search to
launch Group Policy Editor;
Expand to the policy entry Computer Configuration\Windows Settings\Security Settings\Local Policies\Security Options. Check the security setting
Interactive logon: Do not display last user name to be disabled.

Please click to vote if the post helps you. This can be beneficial to other community members reading the thread.

Another customization:
To give your logon screen corporate design or individual style you can follow these steps:
In registry editor navigate to the key "HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Authentication\LogonUI\Background".
Create a new DWORD value OEMBackground and assign value 1. (Value 0 resets to the original logon screen.)
In C:\Windows\system32\oobe\info create the folder backgrounds, if it does not exist.
Put your custom picture into this folder under the name backgroundDefault.jpg.
Attention: maximum supported file size is 256 KByte, so shrink them with a tool like Irfanview or Image Resizer Powertoy Clone.
If you want to use different pictures for different screen resolutions, you can do so by naming them backgroundXXXXxYYYY.jpg, i.e. background1920x1200.jpg for the resolution 1920 x 1200. If the resolution does not match any of the given file names, Windows
will fall back to backgroundDefault.jpg.

Welcome screen image icons

Is there a way in windows 7 professional to make the user image icons on the welcome screen larger? I noticed on windows 7 home they seem to be larger but on professional they are smaller.

Hi
Yes, you can do this. This procedure is actually a font size change for the logon screen, but it also changes the size of the logon profile icons.
1. Click the Start button and type regedit in the Search box. In the Results, Right
Click regedit and select the Run as Administrator option.
Navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG\Software\Fonts
2. Backup the value you will be changing.
Right click the Fonts key
in the left pane, select Export. In the Save As dialog, select
the Desktop as the save in location. In the File Name box type LogonBackup.
Click the Save button.
If anything goes wrong, you can go to the Desktop, right click the LogonBackup.reg file and select Merge to restore the registry value.
3. In the right side pane, Double Click the LogPixels value.
In the Edit dialog box, change the
2 digit value using the following guide.
60 -(100% Font Size) -Default size
78 -(125% Font Size)
90 -(150% Font Size)
4. Exit the Registry editor and
restart the computer to test the results.
Let us know the results.
Regards,

My welcome screen used to have just my name and an icon. Now it has my name on one side and guest user on the other. where did it come from and how do I get rid of it?

Either you enabled the guest user, or you enabled Find My Mac, which requires there to be an active guest account for a thief to log into, so that they'll connect to the internet and allow you to locate it.

I just installed PE13, I still have PE 11 on my system. On the welcome screen the Organizer Icon is black (not Red) while the PE icon is Red, any idea whats going on?

Should both the organizer icon and the PE icon both be Red if things are running well? Here is what it looks like, I transferred my PE 11 organizer over to 13 organizer, I would expect them to be the same color, did I do something wrong?

On what computer operating system is your Premiere Elements 13 running?
On my Windows 7 and 8.1 64 bit, the Welcome Screen presents as shown in the following screenshot from the program on Window 7 64 bit.
Let us explore
I transferred my PE 11 organizer over to 13 organizer,
Do you mean by that you converted the Elements Organizer 11 catalog in Elements Organizer 13, using Elements Organizer 13's File Menu/Manage Catalogs/Catalog Manager and the Convert option there?
I converted my Elements Organizer 11 catalog in Elements Organizer 13, and saw no changes in the Premiere Elements 13 Welcome Screen.
All is as is.
As a point of reference, in Premiere Elements 11 Welcome Screen, the Organizer icon is turquoise and the Video icon is purple.
All normal.
Remember, you are not really transferring Elements Organizers 11 to 13, you are converting the Elements Organizer 11 catalog in Elements Organizer 13. The original Elements Organizer 11 is not changed in 11 but is not updated when you make changes in the converted catalog in Elements Organizer 13.
Bottom Line: Everything sounds normal so far for your Welcome Screen in 13.
Please review and consider. Any questions or need clarification, please do not hesitate to ask.
Thank you.

Lost User Icon on Win 7 Welcome screen

My welcome screen changed on it's own. We have two users accounts which have been displayed on the welcome screen for the past year. Now only the last user account and a blank "other user". Neither of the accounts require passwords.
How can I re-establish the welcome screen to display both user accounts?
FYI: I noticed the problem shortly after I upgraded my Skype account.

Hi,
First of all, we could try system restore to get back to a previous time point which everything worked fine.
If this issue persists, please try the following steps to check how it works:
Note: before perform this action, please
Back up the registry firstly.
1.
Type
regedit in start search box, press Entre and YES.
2.
Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList].
3.
You will probably want to right-click on “ProfileList” and click export to save the entire subtree in case something goes wrong.
4.
You will find several subfolders or “keys” named something like “S-1-x-xx…”, open them one at the time.
5.
Each should contain at least the three value-sets, “Flags”, “ProfileImagePath” and “State”, some will contain more.
1)
Look at the end of ProfileImagePath for the name of the user represented by the key.
2)
You will usually have one for each user on the system, and one for each of the three system entries ‘systemprofile’, ‘LocalService’ and ’NetworkService’.
6.
Delete any key (i.e. the whole “S-1-x-xx” folder) that does not contain at least those three values.
7.
Reboot to check the result.

Photoshop/Premiere Elements 10 installed but won't run past Welcome screen

I bought and downloaded Photoshop Elements 10 and Premiere Elements 10 for Windows 7 - 64 bit on Dec.31/11. There were no error messages in the download, although the Akamai downloader screen didn't seem to show 100% before proceeding to the next step. Everything appeared to install correctly (it's a long process!).
At first, clicking on the desktop icons or the Start Menu list would bring up the Welcome splash screen, where the broad options (Organize, Edit, New Project) were shown. However, clicking on these options had no effect at all. Eventually even the Welcome screen wouldn't appear. I checked the Windows task manager and no applications were running.
I checked the shortcut properties and noticed that there was a separate executable in the target directory (eg. existing link was to "Adobe Premiere Elements 10.exe", but there was also a file called "Adobe Premiere Elements.exe"), which did run...however, I couldn't launch the Organizer from that program, and the "Home" link to the Welcome screen didn't function either.
With thousands of these programs being downloaded, I'm surprised that this serious glitch hasn't surfaced before. Any ideas?
Thanks!

There are three different programs -- Photoshop Elements (PSE) which is for editing bitmaps, Premiere Elements which is for video editing, and the PSE Organizer which is for cataloging your media.
I don't like the sound of that Akamai downloader not registering 100%.
Uninstall all the Adobe products, reboot, and download the installation package again. Check the Properties on that downloaded file and "Unblock" it if Windows has flagged it as "possibley harmful and coming from another computer" before starting the installation.

On Macbook pro how do I reset my premiere elements 12 welcome screen back as it was to ask if existing or new project.

Hi there, on my macbook pro, can anyone tell me please how I can reset the welcome screen in Premiere Elements 12 back to how it was, were it asks to open an existing project or a new one. I made the mistake of changing the settings to open Premiere Elements editor by default but now it opens straight into a new project each time. Many thanks.

alanathome
I am strictly an Elements Windows user, but I think I am on common ground with this response. Please check it out.
Resetting of the Welcome Screen is done using the icon to which the arrow points in the screenshot.
If you cannot get to the Welcome Screen due to a prior set, then in the Open project, if you have a Window Menu, go to Window Menu/Welcome Screen.
Please let us know if that worked for you.
Thanks.

Custom splash screen only shows up when command line is used...

Hi,
Everything in my Java web start application works perfectly but, the custom splash screen only shows up when command line is used ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin>javaws -verbose http://www.xxx.eu/AcSentVivresCrus/AcSentJnlp/AcSent.jnlp"), if I use the shortcut on the desktop or in the start menu, the Java 7 splash screen shows up (tested under Windows Vista and Seven). Does someone have any clues?
Thanks...

Hi again,
I made some researches :
- The link in the generated shorcuts ("C:\Windows\SysWOW64\javaws.exe -localfile -J-Djnlp.application.href=http://www.xxx.eu/AcSentVivresCrus/AcSentJnlp/AcSent.jnlp "C:\Users\Arnaud\AppData\LocalLow\Sun\Java\Deployment\cache\6.0\46\69c1e9ee-1f252d1a") is not the same as the one I use in the command line ("C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre7\bin>javaws -verbose http://www.xxx.eu/AcSentVivresCrus/AcSentJnlp/AcSent.jnlp"). Is there a way in the the JNLP file to tell how to generate shortcuts (not the icon, etc., but command line options)?
- This sample (https://blogs.oracle.com/thejavatutorials/entry/changing_the_java_web_start) displays the splash screen when I click on the the generated shortcuts (I use Windows 7). I have copied the ButtonDemo jar file and the JNLP file on my IIS web server (Windows 2008 Server), this time the splash screen does not show up when I click the generated shortcuts but always shows up when I use the command line. Can someone tell me if it is a trouble with IIS ?
Thanks again...
