10.14.6 login screen

Hi,

Is there a way to customize the background image of the login screen in Mojave 10.14.6? The workaround that I used up until the 10.14.6 update does not work anymore.

This worked for me. I had already changed my preferred login image to mojave.heic. No joy.

Once I downloaded and installed OnyX, (This is free btw https://www.titanium-software.fr/en/onyx.html) I went to Paramaters/Login reselected my image and voila!

Hope this helps others.

Sorry, I neglected to mention all the information : the replacement file has to be the same dimension as your screen, and in the HEIC format. Mine was already of the correct dimensions, but in the jpeg format. I just double-clicked so that the standard app opened it, and then did an Export. HEIC was one of the choices.

I am not sure if it is at all relevant, but I placed the replacement pic in the same place as the original "Mojave.heic" (Library / Desktop Pictures) file, renamed it "Mojave.heic" before using Onyx. Just replace the file did not work.

I found how : Onyx does it very easily : Parameters / Session / Select

I found what you suggested in Onyx and selected the picture I prefer, but when I restarted my MacBook Pro, the Mojave dune picture displayed rather than my preferred picture.

Yes. Just change the wanted image's name to mojave.heic worked before but not with this last OS update. Onyx seems to do exactly the same thing, but it works...
