Customise Screensaver Logo

• For single PC
  Create a transparent PNG and use "logo.png" as the filename. Copy the logo into the custom folder:
  C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\VibeScreensaver\custom
• To update multiple PCs using group policy
  
  • File path for the the custom logo is stored in this registry node value:
    Computer > HKEY_CURRENT_USER > SOFTWARE > VibeScreenSaver > CustomLogo
  • The file path can be either a local file path (e.g. C:/logo.png) or a remote URL (e.g. https://yourdomain.co.nz/logo.png). If remote URL is used, it must be publicly accessible.
  • You can create a Windows group policy to set the CustomLogo's value to the remote URL for multiple PCs.
