Custom Login Screen

April 03rd, 2008 | Category: Apple / Mac

Make your mac stand out from the rest by customizing your log in screen!

Grab your favorite background image, save it as ‘background.jpg’ and execute the following from Terminal:

sudo cp background.jpg /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg

(you need to be in the

same directory as the background.jpg for the copy to work. Eg whether it’s on your desktop next “cd ~/Desktop” to change to that directory first)
