change login background for Mac OS 10.7.4
Lost my custom login background when I updated to Maac OS 10.7.4 - How do I change it back?
Yes, and I only have PDFs... I'm wondering, perhaps I'm doing this way too simply. Are the PNGs invisible?

nope. They are listed in the directory along with PDFs.
Did you get the right file (SArtFile.bin), from the correct directory (/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/CoreUI.framework/Versions/A/Resources/SArtFi le.bin), from a 10.7.4 machine?
Are you using the same SArtFileTool as was linked by S Wicks on page two of this thread?
Yes and yes. It's 11E53, and the same directory. I used the link provided for the tool.
I got nuthin.
delete the copies and stuff, then start over?
🙂 Yeah did that several times. I think I'm going to redownload the tool. Will keep you all posted.
Yeah... nevermind. I didn't see the second link. The one in the article that was linked is not correct.
This link is the right tool:
Everything is fine when using that.
Thanks!
Note that in addition to the '267.png' file, there is also a '267@2x.png' file which is 512 x 512 pixel version of the one you're editing. It may be the case that in some resolutions, this secondary file is used rather than the '267.png' file.
Found the solution. The file you need to change for whatever you want as the background in your login window is:
/System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LoginUIKit.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/Log inUICore.framework/Versions/A/Resources/appleLinen.png
Best!
Wow. Apparently you did not read any of the posts in this thread.
That is the framework file that displays before you get to the loginwindow and not the one the the background is based off of.
Actually, that is the apple logo that displays above the list of users.
o.k. it is not everything, but at least two-thirds of this Apple made ugly Backgroundes are gone and that's fine for me.
Tanks!
