Anybody making their own OEM wallpapers?

[Xander]

I've decided I want to get in the habit of adding my own wallpaper to clean installs, much like you'd get with a Dell/HP. You know, part of the standard "OEM experience".

In my case, I want to get a generic "green swoopy" background with my logo and business info blended in inconspicuously.

I was about to go on Fiverr to find someone but thought I'd ask here if 1) anyone is already doing it or 2) if anyone's got pro/con experience with already having done it.

Surprised no one jumped on this thread...

Not sure what the legality is, but I've always been partial to the idea of putting my logo over an existing Windows wallpaper, like sticking it in the top right corner of Bliss.bmp and such. I've seen some OEMs do it in the past, more so with the logon background instead of the desktop wallpaper... though that may have been a feature of using the OPK...

Look for pretty open source wallpaper, slap you logo on. Hey Presto!

Or (& is what I did) contact the author.

Part of the plan of this is to slipstream it into my install discs so it'll be the default wallpaper when I do a fresh install.

Using "Bliss" was my first idea; just add my info down in the corner. I still might look into this; maybe write a little program to check if the wallpaper used is "Bliss" then back it up and replace it with a branded one. {coughcouchD7ideacoughcough}

And its pretty easy to change the login screen on windows 7 But I like the Idea I might have to try something similar...also I like the image you used on your last post but maybe make your info a little easier to read but still hidden lol.
