Background Oddity
in [Mac Systems]
|
From: TaliesinSoft on 7 May 2010 00:43 Every few weeks I change the images used for my background, usually having at one time five to ten images which are each displayed for a minute. These same images are used for each of my several user and single administrator accounts. At the same time as I set a new set of background images I also change the login screen to display one from the new set. The oddity is that occasionally, perhaps about one out of six times, when I log into an account instead of one of the background images I have set the initial background image will be the purple skyscape, Apple's default background. After a minute has passed then the backgrounds will rotate amongst the set I have installed. So, my query is what, if anything, can I do so that the purple skyscape doesn't appear when I log onto one of my accounts? Many thanks in advance for suggestions and such. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

Hmm.. That never happens to me. -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me. E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my very hungry SPAM filter. Due to Google's refusal to prevent spammers from posting messages through their servers, I often ignore posts from Google Groups. Use a real news client if you want me to see your posts. JR

Where would that image file be located? In my opening posting I didn't mention that I've also replaced the image file at /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg with an image other that the purple skyscape. To do that I used the applet Loginox which saves the purple skyscape somewhere so it can later be restored as the default desktop image. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com |
