Windows 8.1 already has the option to Change the Default Sign in Screen Background Color. But if you are using Windows 8, still you can change the Default Sign in Screen Background Color using the Registry Editor. By default, there is no key or DWORD for changing the sign in Screen background, hence we have to create one.
