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 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 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

  • 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
    Go to: system / library / frameworks / AppKit.framework / versions / c / resources / NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor.png
    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.

    Jerry,
    Thanks for replying again. I've got a little bit further thanks to you. I tried the US keyboard layout as you seemed pretty definte that it should work. This time I applied the setting and also started the language toolbar and selected it from there.
    Hey presto, I've got the @ where it should be. Excellent.
    However the single quote ' works in a weird way. When I press it, it doesn't show up on the screen. But when I press another key, I get the single quote plus the next key I press. When I press the single quote twice, I get 2 of them. This is also the same with the SHIFT ' key. i.e. for the double quotes.
    Very strange. I'll look at other keyboards and see where that gets me.
    Thanks,  Maz

  • HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP

    HOW DO YOU CHANGE THE WINDOW SIZE OF EBUSINESS SUITE ON STARTUP
    How do you change the window size for Ebusiness Suite after you log in. Currently it displays at 100% of the screen. I want to set it smaller, at some %

    I don't know if there is a way to set this. Some user's may prefer different sizes of window, depending on their job duties. For example, we have 170 Systems document management integrated with purchasing and payables so users shrink the Oracle window to fill about 60% of the screen while 170 uses the remaining 40% to display the scanned document.

    Howard,
    Click (select ) the folder, hit the return key and start typing...
    Before you start typing, you can go to the beginning, or the end of the title without deleting the title by using the back/forward arrow keys.

  • How do you change the channel of the device?

    How do you change the channel of the device?

    Isn't there a way to see what channel it is on so one can choose a different channel?
    Hold down the option key on your Mac while you click on the fan shaped AirPort icon at the top of the screen.
    If you want to manually set the channel on an Apple router, you would use AirtPort Utility for this.

  • How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?

    How can you change the font size in the application and system headers?  I searched the system and finder prefs to no avail.  Changing the screen density is not a good option.
    Thanks

    I downloaded Tinkertool.  Found the font section and increased the size of most selections.  The only thing that changed that I can see is the window label.  The apple line, bookmarks line, the tool bar in safari are all the same---font size of about 4.  Found the finder "show view options" but that didn't seem to change anything either.  I'll keep working.  Restarted all apps after changes as well.

  • 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.
    Regards,

  • How do you change color of screen in dreamweaver?

    Hello how do you change color of screen in dreamweaver website?

    In DWCC, you can go to Modify > Page Properties to change things like the background-color, text color and more for the actual web page.
    You can also change it in the CSS Designer panel by creating a body selector in the css, then make the change in the CSS Designer's properties sub window.
