    Is there a way to make account pictures square and/or transparent?


    Is there a mod or something out there (or a registry edit maybe?) that will make the profile pictures for accounts square instead of circular, and use a transparent background? I have a custom image I'd like to use, but it gets rendered with a black background and parts get cut off by the circle.

    Hello Roadsguy and eLPuSHeR, :)

    If you like, you could use the tutorial below to set to use the old sign in screen to at least have the square account pictures back.

    ** Removed tutorial link that no longer works. **

    Well, it looks like Microsoft changed this again. It doesn't work anymore.
