From: TaliesinSoft on 29 Dec 2009 14:55 I'm using Visage to set the background of the login screen. Visage has a setting which allows one to revert from one of their custom backgrounds to that of the Apple default login screen background. Somehow I did something which resulted in the Apple default login screen being a blue pattern background and not the "Aurora" (the space theme) which is the usual default for Snow Leopard. So, my question is "what do I do to set the Apple default background to the "normal" default? -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

Perhaps my opening posting which produced the above responsewasn't phrased well. I'm using an add-on system preference "Visage" which allows one to select a login screen that differs from the default which comes with Snow Leopard. The Visage control panel allows one to import pictures which can then be selected within that control panel to be used as the login background. One of the options is "Apple Default". The remaining options are the pictures one has imported into Visage as alternative login screens. What I am trying to deal with is that when I select Apple Default I don't get the Aurora picture but Aqua Bllue. -- James Leo Ryan --- Austin, Texas --- taliesinsoft(a)me.com

Does it really matter, when you can easily select the right one manually? -- Send responses to the relevant news group rather than email to me.
