You likely do not have a DefaultDesktop.jpg file in /System/Library/CoreServices. Pick any image, could be one downloaded from the internet, from your iPhoto Library, and put it in there, and then name it "DefaultDesktop.jpg" You should then have in the background of your login window your selected image.

You could also use Loginox http://www.branox.com/Loginox/if you didnt feel comfortable messing around in your system file.

yes i do have a default desktop file if i change it the file will change but the blueness is still there iv e tried terminal commands and a couple programs

He's talking about the log-in screen not the desktop.

Remember that the spelling of the wallpaper must be with capital D's. It looks this way if I misspell or delete my own login wallpaper. Sure is odd if you are unable to get it back.

everything was spelled correctly hadn't had a chance to go to the apple store cuz i am really sick

what drive controls the login because i was thinking of just repairing it (using disk utility) but if it is "macintosh hd" i did that already so idk
