Aurora Desktop on login screen

Cheers for this comment SJ..I hate the login screen ...how do we get rid of it!!!

Horride isn't it.

Replace /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg with the image you want.

Download Desktop 2 Login. It makes the login background be whatever your current Desktop picture is.

awesome, many thanks, aurora was really beginning to annoy me!

what are apple doing with this image (and the packaging for the install dvd for that matter)? it looks like a dodgey rave flyer from the early 90's!

more importantly though, does anyone know how to change the sidebar desktop icon? this is still aurora (ok, i know it's only tiny but i still don't like it)

I'm happy enough with Leopard's features, but its aesthetics are a step backwards. "Aurora" is lame cover from a bad science fiction paperback, and the new icons are eyestrain drab.

Fussing under the hood with system icons is a nuisance, but for $29, CandyBar from Panic makes it painless. It provides an iPhoto-like way to manage your icon library, along with an interface for applying your choices system-wide.

It's particular nice to be able to try a new environment on for size, change your mind, and revert with a few clicks.

Ok. I got it working and changed successful the background picture at the login screen.

But I had to do it in the "root" user, as I got the error message "not enough rights," even being logged in as an admin user.

Is that right? Did that everybody of you who did not use a terminal or script command?
