Idle State

Been meaning for such a long time to work out how to remove this (uncharacteristically for Apple) naff picture from my login screen:

Needless to say, it's not really my cup-of-tea. I'm surprised Apple didn't use a photo of their Dear Leader - although the actual login window would probably have covered Steve's face.

I hope that Tinkertool add the ability to change this (plus perhaps a few more Dock configuration bits and pieces would go astray).

In the mean time, if you want to change the picture, you need to go under the bonnet and replace this file:

/System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg

with the image file that you'd prefer.

There's a longer description on how to do it here.
