How to change OS X Lion (10.7) login background

I just installed OS X Lion (10.7). I would like to change the login background on my iMac. The gray linen is too plain and boring.

Does anyone know a sure-fire way to change the login background?

My google search showed how to do this in Snow Leopard, but that process doesn't work with Lion.

Thx,

I am not sure what I am doing wrong, but I can't get any of this to work at all. I have followed the instructions to the letter and after the reboot all I get is the same grey drab cloth texture, even though the swatch has been replaced with a full screen image I still get the grey screen.


According to my system info I have a 1920 x 1080 screen with 72 ppi, but yet the background does not change.


Any ideas ?
