Important

Choosing a Windows Theme will deactivate Custom Logon Desktop Backgrounds and revert to the Windows Embedded Standard 7 background screen. If you want to use a Windows theme, you must create an identical theme but set the SetLogonBackground setting in the theme file to 1. You can also reactivate the Custom Logon Desktop Background with the Windows theme by setting the group policy setting: Computer Configuration\Administrative Templates\System\Logon\Always use custom logon background after choosing the windows theme.
