Change Curtain Mode Image

Can any one direct me to the image file of the Remote Desktop Curtain Mode image? I would like to replace it with one of my own. Is this possible? Any help would be appreciated. Than you!

To clarify: I would like the curtain mode to pull up a solid black screen on the client computer. (I am running several projectors off of a computer and I would like to be able to control the computers remotely. I could imagine a situation in which I would like to make changes to the powerpoint on the client computer connected to the projector with out anyone noticing. So, I am imagining that I could use ARD Curtain mode to access the machine and the curtain mode would pull up a solid black screen so the projectors would project solid black.) If you have other ideas to accomplish this, let me know.

You can change the lock screen (in lock mode not curtain mode... effectively the same thing you can still control it oddly enough),

I don't know if you can get rid of the text (unless you changed the screen to white and kept the image size the area of the screen.).

Create a picture using a graphics program, such as AppleWorks.

Save the picture in PICT, TIFF, GIF, JPEG, or any other QuickTime-compatible static image format.

QuickTime-compatible movies or QuickTime VR objects cannot be used.

Name the picture "Lock Screen Picture".

Copy the "Lock Screen Picture" file to /Library/Preferences/ on the client computer.
