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).

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!
Stuart

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

Windows 7 Professional
Windows 7 Enterprise
Windows 7 Ultimate
Windows 7 SP1 Professional
Windows 7 SP1 Enterprise
Windows 7 SP1 Ultimate
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.

Not possible to get rid of Welcome Screen

In 309 we wish to get rid of the Welcome Screen and go straight to the login screen. In 307 we did this by making the Welcome Screen not accessible to public users. If we try doing that in 309 the Sign On Screen comes up fine, but once the user has logged on it takes them to the Welcome Screen.
I have tried setting the default homepage of the public user to something else but this then takes all users to this page even though their home page is set to something else. This happens on a fresh install of 309.
This has been preventing us from upgrading from 307, we have been trying since 308 came out. I have seen other posts regarding the same issue (some from ourselves) but no-one has come up with a solution.
Oracle Support have reproduced this, and it is logged as bug 1953926, so if anyone else is getting this problem please raise with support that you are getting it and hopefully we will get a response.
If anyone on the Portal Development side could look at this I would appreciate it (I have this issue logged as tar 48199.999)
Cheers,
Patrick

You can do it by putting login portlet provided by Oracle Portal
on your welcome page and customize the welcome page. The single-
sign on login page will never come up after you login from
welcome page. I am not sure if it still works with customized
login portlet.

Beginning Welcome Screen

Hello,
have a simple question on the WELCOME SCREEN.
This is the screen when you push the top button on the phone and all you see is the time, date, if you have any notifications...and 1 calendar event..."Next Event"...my question is is there anyway to have MORE than 1 event listed on that page. This instead of going into the calendar specific section.
I have looked at all the settings and have found nothing to "customize" this welcome screen.
Hope I have explained this properly...any help would be great!
Thanks
TW

The screen you are reffering to is the locked screen. At this point, I didn't find any options to add additional notifications. But you can add two line custom messages. It is possible that 3rd party apps that change the theme of the z10 can utilize the features you are looking for. It would be a nice option to have, and I can see the benefits. Maybe future OS upgrade can give you that option.
To add a custome lines. On the home screen, swipe from top down, settings, display, and fillout Message dsplayed on locked screen.

How to avoid maximal expand of screen size for welcome screen? VmWare prob?

I run Suns Solaris Express Edition for VmWare under WinXP.
When I start Solaris VM everything is fine except the fact that the welcome screen at boot up (= the screen where the user has to enter his login and password) is expanded to approx 2400 x1600 pixel).
I have to use the horizontal scrollbar to get the entry fields for login and password.
After I entered correctly login and password Solaris retrieves the internal correct display size
of 1280 x 960 and shrinks the screen size accordingly.
So again everything is fine from this time except the screen size at the beginning.
Is this an error of VmWare or of Solaris?

I agree that iMovie's still image quality is embarassingly bad and has many bugs.
Even with no Ken Burns, the sharp images tend to flicker on a TV because iMovie doesn't blur them properly.
And as you very well described, iMovie's Ken Burns produces uneasy zooms/pans because the subpixel rendering is, uh, suboptimal.
iMovie's immortal rendering bug when exporting non-Ken Burns'ed images to iDVD/tape doesn't make things any better.
Yes, bicubically downsampling the input images to 640x480 or adding gaussian blur to the megapixel input images takes care of the flicker and uneasy zooms/pans, but as a side-effect the maximal zoom-ins are then TOO blurry.
The best workaround is to use Photo To Movie's higher quality export setting. It has the best quality rendering engine (I recently compared it to Still Life and FotoMagico). Disclaimer: I'm just a satisfied customer of Photo To Movie.

Suppressing welcome screen at startup

I would like to suppress the welcome screen dialog from initially opening or preset the checkbox "Don't Show Again" checkbox. We have a customer with multiple users and they don't want the welcome screen to show up the first time a new user launches his copy of InDesign. I know you only need to click on the "Don't Show Again" checkbox and the dialog won't show up for subsequent launches. But this is too much for our customer and they want the default to be that it doesn't show up. I've found the kPMWSetScreenPrefsCmdBoss but there is no description of the interface for the IID_IPMWSCREENPREFSCMDDATA so I don't know if this might be an option. There are some other boss classes for the welcome screen plug-in (kPMWelcomeStartupShutdownBoss, kPMCloseWelcomeScreenCmdBoss, etc.) but it is unclear whether any of these offer a method of preventing or closing the dialog.
Any suggestions on how I can either preset something to prevent it from initially opening or force it to close should it open during launch?

Hi
Easiest way to get rid of that dialog is to disable or remove plugin. Don't have access to machine with indesign at this moment, but in plugins folder, (PMPack, welcomescreen.pln ) - not sure about those names.

Installed new graphic card (ASUS Geforce GTX 750ti. PC stuck at the blue welcome screen

Hi,
I just bought the ASUS Geforce GTX 750ti STRIX OC Edition (without external power connector).
After I installed it, I wont get past the HP welcome screen. It gives one beep 3 times, and then 1 and 2 short before the screen turns black.
My computer is:
HP P7-1072sc
(I have installed a 500w power supply.)
Running on windows 7
Anyone have any ideas?

Hi,
There is a BIOS update posted for you PC but I don't think that it will solve your problem. You might want to install it and see if anything changes.
You may have to RMA the graphics card back to ASUS. ASUS may be able to flash the BIOS on the card to make it work or replace it with a different graphics card that will work.
Many of the NVIDIA GTX 750 graphics cards are enabled for a full UEFI BIOS PC and your PC is not at that level.

Optional iPhone welcome screen - specs, how to test?

So far i didn't found any info how to use this feature. First test with simple page with one image 640x640 was disaster, there was shown just part of image (half on width). So you need to prepare your webpage for iPhone 3G resolution (640x480).
And there was no way how to go past this screen (no button, nothing) - i need to force quit the app and relaunch it, then i saw standard UI of viewer.
Who designed this feature made imposible to test it properly - because this welcome screen is show just FIRST time when app is launched, i'll never see this welcome screen on my iPhone without complete restore of iPhone. Removing app and re-install don't help. We tested it now on few iPhones and we are running out of them now.

The iPhone welcome screen, which displays only the first time the app is launched, was inadvertently exposed to Pro customers. Enterprise publishers can use it to provide information about restoring purchases and so forth, but it requires the use of custom APIs to set up links. You can read more about the option here:

Re: DW "Welcome Screen"

I have a Mac (Leopard), and have heard that for some reason,
because of this, I am unable to clean up the list of items in the
Welcome Screen's "Open a Recent Item" list. This seems odd. I want
to clean up my list because, in practicing and going through
various tutorials, I've created a large number of practice
"Websites." Now I have this huge list of not-real sites or "items."
(Of course I have tried clicking on the item and clicking the
"delete" button. I have also gone to the Help menu and have called
Adobe's Customer Support, all to no avail.)
Anyone know the answer to this? Thanks!
Violet

I know in windows the only way is to delete registry entries
(which is crazy to have to do !) but on the mac I know there IS no
registry...Either way there's no option in DW itself

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.

Itunes 11 welcome screen every time I open the program.

Yeah,
itunes 11 opens to welcome screen every time I open the programme.
OS Win8
very annoying
help?

This is what worked for me!!!!!
Close iTunes.
With Windows Explorer go to View in the top menu and allow Hidden Files.
Navigate to:
C:\Users\[which ever user is you]\Appdata\Local\Apple Computer\iTunes
Delete all files in this directory.
Start iTunes and see the Welcome Screen for hopefully the last time!
I am not an expert. This was a stab in the dark based on the Mac ByHosts solution and it just happened to work for me. Give it a try and let me know if it works.
Good Luck!

When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15", my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen. How do I fix this??

Hi Everyone,
This problem just started today. When I turn on or restart my Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version), my screen is light gray like normal, and then after a few seconds my entire screen flashes completely bright yellow for a few seconds, and then it goes to the normal Welcome screen (where I choose to login as myself or a guest user). This suddenly started today and has not stopped since. This keeps happening every single time I turn on or restart my computer.
Yesterday I installed all the Mavericks and other updates that were available in the App Store, so I'm wondering if this is related to that since this never happened prior to my doing those updates yesterday. When I first installed the new OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) update, it went through the whole installation process (took about 10 minutes), and then during the installation I got an error message saying that it couldn't verify my iTunes application that was on my laptop, and then my laptop finished installing the updates. Then once my laptop restarted, the App Store "Updates" section said that I had to do the whole OS X Mavericks (10.9.3) and iTunes (Version 11.2) updates all over again. So my laptop did the whole installation again (took about 10 minutes, but this time I didn't get that "iTunes error message" during the installation process).
Now, when I go to the App Store "Updates" section, it says the following under "Updates Installed in the Last 30 days":
-Digital Camera RAW Compatibility Update (Version 5.05) installed May 15, 2014
-OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
-iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
-OS X Update (Version 10.9.3) installed May 15, 2014
-iTunes (Version 11.2) installed May 15, 2014
-Security Update 2014-002 (Version 1.0) installed April 22, 2014
I'm wondering if this flashing bright yellow screen upon bootup is related to the fact that my laptop installed the OS X Update and the iTunes Update two times each? Or is this new problem totally unrelated? It's just that this problem started a day after these 2 updates were installed twice.
My Macbook Pro Retina 15" (Mid 2012 version) is otherwise working fine at least as of now. The only issue so far is this flashing bright yellow screen every time I turn on or restart my computer.
If anyone could please help me fix this so that my bootup screen doesn't flash completely bright yellow anymore, I would be forever grateful!
Thank you so much for reading this and for any help you can provide.
hope everyone is well,
Elaine

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!
Elaine
