How Do I Change The Logon Screen Background?

Hi...
I was wondering how to go about changing the logon screen background... You know... The screen background you see when you first boot the Mac and it's sitting at the logon window waiting to be logged on?
Thanks in advance!!

You can do this with OnyX: http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php
The image you want to use has to be in one of a few locations:
This button allows you to choose a replacement image for the background of the Login Window. By default, the application directs you to the folder containing the Desktop Pictures of Mac OS X (/Library/Desktop Pictures/...). You can choose another image but it must be accessible by all users, for example in the Public, Shared or Sites folder.
Formats accepted: PNG, JPEG, JPEG-2000, GIF, PSD, TIFF, TGA, BMP.
It's in the Parameters > Login tab.

  • How do you change the logon screen in 10.7.4

    A few months ago I changed my logon screen background to something more desirable for my tastes. Recently, I updated my software to vers. 10.7.4 and the update reverted my custom logon screen back to the original. I tried changing it back, but it seems as though the location of the image has been changed as when I navigated there, my original "Custom image" was still there, but my actual logon screen still displays the factory image. What gives? Where do I go to change back to my custom image?

    I love Apple and I love my MBP. Also, I understand where your coming from when you say I shouldn't be messing around with the OS resources. Normally, a person would not go through the trouble (and/or the possible catastrophic consequences) of changing things like this, but computers fascinate me and I love learning about them. I'm sure there are many others out there like me. It is just a personal preference of mine to want to change the logon background (and gain the learning experience that goes along with it). My preferred logon screen DOES pay homage to Apple and being a second year programming major (yes, I am thus far only in my second year) it is what I like to learn about. I would not have endeavored in something like this if I did not think I could fix it if something went wrong. Like I said before, it would be nice to be able to change it as easy as it is to change the desktop background, but the learning experience is valuable too.

  • How do you change the login screen background?

    I have been looking everywhere in the setting on how to change the background on the login screen and i can't find it, does anyone know how to do it without having to download an app?

    Make sure you check your operating system first, because there are a few ways to do this.
    This is for Mac OS X 10.7.5
    First find out what your screen size is by going into System Preferences and clicking on display. Mine is at 1920x12000, but you might want to go with a picture thats a little bit bigger.
    Find your picture, I edited mine in photoshop, but I think you can edited in Preview or some other photo converter. Make sure the picture is the same size as the display, convert it to a PNG by exporting it or saving it to a PNG format on to your desktop.
    Go to your Macintosh Hardrive
    Go to: System / Library / PrivateFrameworks / LoginUIKit.framework /  Versions/A/Frameworks / Log inUICore.framework / Versions / A /  Resources / appleLinen.png / [email protected]
    Make sure your photo file has the same name as appleLinen.png. Replace appleLinen.png with the new picture by droping it in the resources folder.
    Make a copy of that same picture and paste it on to your desktop. Rename it to [email protected]. Then replace [email protected] with that picture file.
    This should allow you to place a new background to your login screen, but I myself am still working out the kinks. You will notice your sleep, restart, and shutdown buttons will disappear.
    Now if you have a much older operating system on your computer there is an easier way to do this.
    This is for Mac OS X 10.7.1,2,3,4
    First find out what your screen size is by going into System  Preferences and clicking on display. Mine is at 1920x12000, but you  might want to go with a picture thats a little bit bigger.
    Find  your picture, I edited mine in photoshop, but I think you can edited in  Preview or some other photo converter. Make sure the picture is the  same size as the display, convert it to a PNG by exporting it or saving it to a PNG format on to your desktop.
    Go to your Macintosh Harddrive

    Make sure your photo file has the same name as NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor.png. Replace NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroungColor.png with the new picture by droping it in the resources folder.
    That's it for that!!!
    Good Luck, I hope I can find the answere about why the sleep, restart and shutdown buttons disappear on the screen.
    Oh... and don't forget to save the exsisting files that are already there in another folder and lable it.

  • How does one change the login screen background

    I have changed my desktop background picture few weeks ago with a picture I took. recently I have changed it again to one of the default pictures in OS Yosemite.
    The problem is many times when I login to my computer, it shows the old picture I had instead of the one I currently set. I delete the old picture completely (from my hard drive and trash folder).
    I will appreciate any help!
    Thanks

    I checked the hard drive and could not find the picture. However, it is still appear on the login screen :\

  • Three Numbers questions:how do you change the auto default background or fill color from white to another color to use in multiple succeeding operations?  what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percent?

    Numbers questioons:
    -how do I change the automatic default background fill color so it stays a non white color?
    -what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percentage?
    -how do I create a signal formula to be sue against an entire column of data (for example, if I wanted to multiply the each cell in the column by the number 10)?
    -I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers with header and rows labelled and it contains formulas as well.  I now want to create a new 'blank' of this template with same header and row names and formulas, but without the cell entries from my earlier exerciser so I can use again in the future. How do I do this?

    Hi Matt,
    For short columns, the easiest method is to select the cell containing the formula, then grab the fill handle (small circle at the botom right of the selected cell) and drag down.
    For long columns, use either Jerry's suggestion (copy/paste) or Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
    Copy/Paste:
    Select the cell containing the formula. Copy
    Select from the cell containing teh formula to the end of the column. Paste.
    Fill Down:
    After entering the formula, and pressing enter...
    Click on the column reference tab to select the whole column.
    Command click on each cell above the one containing the formula to remove it from the selection.
    When cell with the formula is the top cell in the selection, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
    Pick whichever is easiest.

  • Portal Run time error after changing the logon screen

    Hi all,
    I am running an EP7 SP08 and I try to change the logon screen as described on:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/23/c0e240beb0702ae10000000a155106/frameset.htm
    I copied the 'com.sap.portal.runtime.logon.par.bak' file, renamed it to 'my.new.logon.par'. after that I extracted the file with winzip. I opened the directory 'PORTAL-INF\lib\' and there I extracted the file 'umelogonbase.jar' with winrar. I opened the  file 'logonLabels_en.properties' and changed the entry 'xtit_WELCOME=Welcome' to 'xtit_WELCOME=blablabla'.
    I repacked the umelogonbase.jar with winrar again and after that I repacked the 'my.new.logon.par' with winzip again.
    Then I placed the par file back at '<J2EE_Engine_Instance>\j2ee\cluster\server<X>\apps\sap.com\irj\servlet_jsp\irj\root\WEB-INF\deployment\pcd' and changed the authscheme.xml with the new par file and changed the 'login.authschemes.definition.file'  all described on the help.sap.com url mentioned above.
    However, when I restart the portal and open the logon screen I see the error message:
    Portal Runtime Error
    An exception occurred while processing a request for :
    iView : N/A
    Component Name : N/A
    The exception was logged. Inform your system administrator..
    See the details for the exception ID in the log file
    The default trace shows the following message:
    An error occured during authscheme computation.
    [EXCEPTION]
    com.sapportals.portal.prt.component.PortalComponentException: Error in init method
    Component : my.new.logon.certlogon
    Is there anyone who knows what goes wrong? The description on help.sap.com is very straightforward but still it doesn't work for me...
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    Nico van der Linden...

    Hi,
      Check if you did the following steps pertaining to the authschemes.xml file:
    --> Download the authschemes.xml to local drive. Rename the file to,say, authschemes_new.xml
    --> In authschemes_new.xml, did you change <b>all</b> entries of com.sap.portal.runtime.logon with the name of modified logon par file?
    -->Upload the authschemes_new.xml file using configtool; and, change the property login.authschemes.definition.file to authschemes_new.xml in configtool.
    -->Finally,restart your portal. Hope it helps.

  • How cna I change the text and background colours in iTunes?

    Can anyone tell me how I can change the text and background colours in iTunes? I am a visually impared user and my main requirement on a PC is to change the colour schemem to white text on a black background. Most software adopts the settings of your colour scheme but iTunes goes it's own and has everything on white backgrounds. I cannot read from white backgrounds (dazzle - that sort of thing). I have never used iTunes for this reason. I have always been a devotee of by far the best media player out there Musicmatch Jukebox, who allow you to edit skins in every detail. However, recently Musicmatch was taken over and users were forced to migrate to the ridiculously poor Yahoo Music Jukebox. A massive downgrade in so many ways.
    I want to use iTunes but will not be able to if I cannot sort this issue out. I downloaded 7.5 before discovering that if you want to use Multi Plugin for skins you need to go back to iTunes 7.02. I've done that, but the skins available are completely pointless to my eyes. They don't change the colours of the main components, just the graphical bit at the top.
    What I need to do is change the background of the main browser windows so that they are black and the text is white (you know the track lists and tree views, etc). This must be a very simple case of just changing the codes somewhere, but I can't find where. I read somewhere that you need to hack into something call ResourceDB inside a file called iTunes.jar. There is no such file on my PC. Could that be a Mac thing?
    Please help someone if you can. I would like to become an iTunes user. There seems to be more music available than on Napster which I currently use.
    Thanks in advance
    Z

    In my opinion, it seems that Apple has decided to sacrifice usability so that iTunes would look more like a Mac application. You are probably already aware that using Windows' built-in high-contrast settings do not work in iTunes.
    I did some hacking at the resource file a while back, but I was unable to figure out how to change the color of the background. IIRC there was a resource whose description indicated it would change the background color, but when I changed the resource, nothing happened.
    I was, however, able to figure out how to make the "large" font much larger (any size you want, I suppose). Will that help? See
    http://home.comcast.net/~teridon73/ituneshacks/index.html
    You should provide feedback to Apple:
    http://www.apple.com/feedback/
    I don't think it is too harsh to call it "shameful" that Apple has chosen this design path. Where I work, we are required to make ALL applications (or any computer interface, such as a website) section 508 compliant. Of course, I'm being a bit of a hypocrite, because I've made no effort to make my website compliant. If you have trouble reading it, please let me know.

  • How do I change the PS desktop background to a .JPG or other suitable file format of my choosing?

    Greetings,
      I asked this question a couple months ago and never really received a satisfactory answer.  Maybe Adobe holds these secrets close to the vest.
      What I would like to accomplish is changing my PS desktop background so that every time I open PS it has a background that I have chosen. (Yes I know you can change the black and grey in the preferences panel) What I want is not necessarily in the preferences panel, unless I'm missing something altogether.
    Now here I'm adding a screenshot of a fairly well known PS user CB (who is especially good at 3D) who has his background basically the way I would like mine. If anyone can tell me how to accomplish this thank you!
    Sincerely,
    Jim
      What I'm looking for is something similar to the dark blue background.  I have a JPG file similar to this that I would like to use.  Now I was able to change the splash opening screen in Lightroom, so I imagine the fix is something similar.

    Thanks,
       That did work and it's the same as the frame in the sample I provided.  Unfortunately not what I wanted.  I guess I need to be much more specific. I would like to change the background to look similar to what that sample is, AND be able to have PS as an application that's on top of my desktop and not take up the entire desktop. (which is what happens if I break out the application frame) Probably not something that is doable.  I was hoping that similar to changing the Lightroom Splash screen I could change the PS desktop background to something of my choosing other than black or shades of gray.  Oh and I am on an iMac.
      Thank you again Warunicorn for you help.

  • How can I modify the logon screen on the portal

    Hi,
    We have designed some BI queries, when we open Query Designer and execute them (CTRL + R) an Internet Explorer open and ask us to log on this BI Portal.
    On this Portal login screen, I can only provide my user name and password.
    We would like the user to be able to select the language and to change is password.
    How can we enable those changes ?
    Thanks,
    Hugo

    Although in iSQL*Plus 9.0.1 you can't modify the default
    login HTML, you can create your own static HTML "login"
    page. Just make sure the correct login credential
    parameters are passed to the iSQL*Plus URL. Your users will
    have to call your new static page instead of the default
    iSQL*Plus login page.
    Copy the HTML from the default login page and change the
    FORM ACTION to include the host and port:
    <FORM ACTION="http://host.port/isqlplus" METHOD="post">
    and change the "Connection Identifier" field to a drop down
    list of the connection identifiers you want:
    <TD CLASS="label">Connection Identifier:</TD>
    <TD>
    <SELECT NAME="sid">
    <OPTION SELECTED>SID1</OPTION>
    <OPTION>SID2</OPTION>
    <OPTION>SID3</OPTION>
    </SELECT>
    </TD>
    Add your own logo, joke of the day, and put it in
    production....
    iSQL*Plus 9iR2 has an option for a drop down list of connect
    identifiers to be configured in the default login screen.
    This allows sys admins to restrict the DB servers that can
    be accessed. No other connect identifiers can be used, even
    from CONNECT commands in scripts.
    On the OTN home page there seems to be an "early access"
    link for down loading the 9i Database R2.

  • How do you change the variable screen on Portal to show Key?

    Hi All,
    I have a report on our Portal.  In the variable screen, the users are asked to optionally enter Cost Centre.  When they choose to select values (pressing the button on the right) the singles values which are shown are 'Text' only.  I know in analyser, the user can switch by selecting the spanner icon - 'Display Key/Text'
    How do you change to Key within the variable screen on the portal?
    Many Thanks
    Michelle

    Thank you for your reply Amrita,
    The display in the query had been set to Text & Key as follows
    Properties of Cost Centre -> Display Tab -> Value Display Section -> Display As 'Text and Key', Text View 'Standard' and Use Characteristic Setting 'Unticked'
    Is there another section that I should be amending to ensure the 'Key' also appears in the variable screen?
    Many Thanks,
    Michelle
