Customizing the Sign-In Dialog Box Bitmap

The Sign-In dialog box can be customized to include a custom bitmap image. Your custom bitmap may be a company logo or another image that identifies your organization. If you want to replace the default bitmap, use an application such as Microsoft® Paint to create it. Your custom bitmap will display best if it has the same proportions as the default bitmap. If the proportions of your custom bitmap are different from those of the default bitmap, the custom bitmap will be automatically scaled when displayed. If you do not use a custom bitmap, the default Sign-In dialog box bitmap is used — the dialog box is not left blank.

You also have the option of replacing the static Sign-In dialog box bitmap with a custom animation. For more information, see “Using an Animation in the Sign-In Dialog Box.”

The following options are available:

Use the default bitmap. Select this to use the default Sign-In dialog box bitmap.
Use this bitmap. Select this to use a custom Sign-In dialog box bitmap, and then type or browse to your bitmap file.

Note

The bitmap must use the Microsoft Internet Explorer 256-color palette.
