See the Gnome_Tips wiki article which contains the answer to this and other questions
Change the Default Background Image
The default background is that zoomed in picture of a green leaf. It appears for newly created users, but more importantly, this is the image shown when the screen is locked. As of 25-Apr-2009, you can find this image here
/usr/share/pixmaps/backgrounds/gnome/background-default.jpg
To change it, simply copy your favorite image to this locate (as root) and rename it.

Change default Windows background during deployment

I have a Windows deployment server up and running and deploying custom Windows 7&8 images which all work fine. I want to be able to change the default Windows background to a custom image during deployment so when a new user is created and logs in locally,
my image is displayed rather than the default one. I know this can be done by changing an entry in the registry, but I would like some help in creating a script to do this during deployment and also where this script would have to be placed and how to run
this. I am a noob at scripting and any help would be appreciated! ;)
Thanks in advance

I am using the process documented at the link below in my builds today with a lot of success. In addition to setting the background for every user, it will also allow for setting the colors and accents. Pretty good stuff from the guys at CoreTech.

Change default toolbar background from dark gray to light gray?

How do I change the default toolbar background from dark gray to light gray in illustrator CS6?
In the older versions, the toolbar backgrounds were light gray. It easier to read on light gray backgrounds.
THe same question applies to Photoshop CS6. InDesign CS6 has light gray backgrounds.
thanks

I should have looked a little harder for the answer.
To change the interface background color to another shade of gray in Photoshop go to:

The same method applies to Illustrator.

[SOLVED] Changing default music player

A very simple question, but I'm trying to make rhythmbox play my mp3 files instead of VLC. When I do open-with, it tells me I have to use sudo for it. But I'm not using the terminal for that, I'm using the lxde-compiz gui. I don't know the command
I opened some cache files and switched rhythmbox into the front of the list like another site I found said, but it didn't work. The openwith and change default worked great with my root account though xD
I really just don't know what terminal command it would be to change it.

Eventually found out by running around in Compiz settings, but installed that program as well. Seems very nice!
Thanks.

Changing default color scheme when exporting ALV report to Excel spreadshee

Hi all,
We have a bunch of FI reports created using OOPS in abap. Each of the reports has the functionality to be exported to an excel spreadsheet. When exporting to Excel, the headers are a very dark brown color, making them difficult to read and it has been requested that they are shaded a lighter color. I have not defined any sort of color scheme within the report itself, and I was wondering if there was a way to change the color scheme when exporting the report to excel. Let me know if there is anything that can be done, thanks!

Change background of "unlock" screen after iMac is idle

My iMac is set to require password to "unlock" after it has been sitting idle for a while. When the mouse or a key is moved/pressed, the password box appears with a plain black or dark gray background.
I would like to change that color to one that will illuminate whomever has moved the mouse or pressed a key when it might be dark, to aid in video security for the computer.
Does anyone know how this color or graphic might be changed?

See these links for Mavericks. It might work in Lion as well.

Mac, second monitor changes to canvas background when I switch between full screen apps on my mac display?

When I plug in my monitor using a thunderbolt to hdmi cable I would like to use my moitor as a second display, which i can do, but then when i switch between full screen apps on my mac it changes what i have on my monitor to a canvas background. Is there a way to fix the display on my monitor so that it will always be accesable?

Apple:
This is how it "Should" work.
Each display should be treated as it own desktop. If you swipe on a desktop it should swipe through the hidden screens/displays. If your a user with multi displays connected to your Mac, you could have "Full Screen" Apps, Dashboard, Mission Control, and etc available to swipe on each of your connected displays.
Display 1...swipe, swipe... mouse over to Display 2... swipe swipe swipe... oh.. Display 3, swipe! All set for work or play!
This would be a well received "Feature" for the Worlds Most Advanced Operating System.
Cheers
I have seen apps (like MPlayerX and VLC) have their own "built in" workaround for the full-screen problems on multi-displays.

Changing default Target Group when creating transports.

Hi All,
We have 4 different target groups for the transports created in development systems. I would like to make one transport group default which is mainly used by majority of consultants.
How to make one transport group default during creation of transport.
Regards,
Krishna

And to just make it more clear :
and here is the SAP help on the subject:
Transport Layer in ABAP Workbench
The Change and Transport System supports the distribution of development work on large projects across multiple SAP Systems.
The packages in each development system are grouped into one transport layer.
The transport layer determines whether objects are assigned to a local or transportable change request.
Use
Each of your SAP development systems is assigned a transport layer as its standard transport layer. If you use Extended Transport Control, you can assign different standard transport layers to certain clients.
You can define at the most one consolidation target for each SAP System and transport layer.
When you create a package, it is assigned the standard transport layer of the SAP System.
If you want to assign a different transport layer to a package, you require the administration authorization for the Change and Transport System.
The objects in a package automatically have the transport attributes defined for the corresponding transport layer.
If a consolidation route originating in their SAP System is defined, then the objects are assigned to a transportable request, and transported into the consolidation target when it is released.
If a consolidation route is not defined, the objects are assigned to a local request, and are not transported.
Customizing settings are not assigned to a package. They have the transport attributes of the standard transport layer of the system or client.
It is best to assign a package a standard transport layer for which a consolidation route originating in the development system is defined.
To display and maintain the transport layers and routes, use the Transport Management System (transaction STMS).
Only the system adminstrator can make changes.
Caution:
The tables TSYST, DEVL, TWSYS, TASYS are no longer productive as of Release 4.0A and cannot be maintained.
Best regards,
Menelaos

Can I change default crop options when importing PDFs?

When importing PDFs into Photoshop CS3, the default cropping is Bounding Box. I change the popup to Media Box, but it reverts when I quit Photoshop. Is there a way to make Media Box the default?

I tried it and a Scripted opening of a pdf doesn’t seem to have any bearing on the dialog’s settings.
If You open with the same settings usually it might be possible to create a Script that opens pdfs with those settings right away – one would have to trade the comparative convenience of dragging the pdf on the psd-symbol and hitting OK for an open-dialog though, I guess.

[SOLVED] Changing default keymaping in fluxbox

Right, here's one I'm finding interesting and a little frustrating.
My default keymapping in fluxbox is set to us and I can't change it.
My keymapping is set to uk in rc.conf and I can get uk in the terminal.
I have also set the xorg.conf file to contain the following lines in the eyboard section:
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbLayout" "gb"
I tested x before installing fluxbox by doing startx and it worked ok, the keyboard mapping was set to uk.
I have installed fluxbox and have set it to start when using the startx command in my user account, leaving root to use just normal x.
In fluxbox the keyboard is mapped to us instead of gb, but it's ok in normal x.
The only way I can get around this is to use the setxkbmap gb command in the xterm of fluxbox, but doing this everyti,e i boot is annoying.
I've also tried adding the line setxkbmap gb to the startup file ~./fluxbox/startup but that does not work either.
Any and all suggestions welcome. (And yes I have read posts on other forums and searched on google).

hi.
put this line on your ~/.fluxbox/startup
setxkbmap <language_symbol> &
replace "<language_symbol>" with the language symbol you want
you may check them with the command
ls /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/
(pt stands for portuguese, fr for french, etc..)
put it just before "exec fluxbox"
edit: sorry I didn't realized that you have tested this before

[SOLVED]change default access creation rights for the users

Hi!
When a user creating folders or files it will allow full access to all users who are in the same group.

andy:andy = Arch Linux username/group
Windows XP is full updated (got problem once with connection to samba after update, got wait until next updates will come -.- , when new windows updates came XP could be connected to samba again, was a bug as I hoped).
I am starting/restarting samba with script like
#!/bin/bash
systemctl stop smbd
sleep 2
systemctl status smbd | head -1
systemctl status smbd | grep 'Active:' | awk -F')' '{print $1}' | sed 's/(//m'
systemctl stop nmbd
sleep 1
systemctl status nmbd | head -1
systemctl status nmbd | grep 'Active:' | awk -F')' '{print $1}' | sed 's/(//m'
systemctl start smbd
sleep 2
systemctl status smbd | head -1
systemctl status smbd | grep 'Active:' | awk -F')' '{print $1}' | sed 's/(//m'
systemctl start nmbd
sleep 1
systemctl status nmbd | head -1
systemctl status nmbd | grep 'Active:' | awk -F')' '{print $1}' | sed 's/(//m'
and not automatically on boot.

How do you change the black background in full screen edit?

I want to change the background colour in fullscreen edit from black to white. Can this be done?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
No. The general theory is that the pics are easier to edit against black.

How Do I Change Default Chapter Numbers When Compressing for iPad?

Basically, I'd like to export a program from a FCP 7 timeline with included chapter and compression markers and compress it using Compressor 3.5 or 4. The program is intended for distribution via iPad and I'd like to include medical disclaimers and a production company logo prior to the start of the program. The problem is that the chapter numbering seems to default to 1, 2, 3, etc. which makes the program's beginning read as Chapter 2. Is there any way to reset the default first chapter marker to Chapter 0 or similar? Or is there a way to do away with the automatic chapter numbering?

I understand that the markers can be named in the timeline. The problem I'm having is that, once the file is encoded and moved onto the iPad, the chapter names gain an additional number. So in my case there is a marker at the beginning of the sequence that I've named Medical Disclaimers and another at the beginning of the program that I've named Program Start and a third marker that I've named Chapter 1.
When the chapters display on the iPad it reads something like this:
Chapter 1
Medical Disclaimers
Chapter 2
Program Start
Chapter 3
Chapter 1
You see my problem? Chapter 3 / Chapter 1 doesn't really work. I can name the chapters anything I want in FCP, but as soon as they're loaded on the iPad they get a shiny new chapter number attached to them no matter what I do with the markers in FCP. I can of course rename Chapter 1 so that it's not so obvious, but I'd still like the program to start at Chapter 1 rather than Chapter 2 (or, if possible, have no automatic chapter number generation at all).

Change default log level when calling a scenario

Hi,
we are looking to an easy way to change log level default value instead of having to transfer a variable to each sub-scenario.
By default log level is set to 5, which is too much. Is this value stored in a repository ? Can we easily change it ?
Thanks in advance
Pierre-Henri

Just submitted it. Thanks!

Change default program used when sd card installed

When I insert an SD card in my Macbook Pro containing RAW Images, my Nikon program opens (auto play) to import the photos. My preference would be to have Adobe Lightroom open by default instead.

Launch iPhone -> Preferences -> General -> Connecting Camera opens: <put the app you want in here>
Also look at iPhone -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Edit Photos: <put the app you want in here>
