location of Apple Wallpapers

[SoftPretzel]

Is it possible to get to the actual files for the wallpapers that Apple provides with it's computers? If so, where are they located?

I am running Mac OS X 10.5.7

Thanks for any help!

Is it here? /System/Library/CoreServices/

Interesting. I had no idea.

Does anyone know where the picture that shows up when you log out and then in is? It is not (at least I can't find it) in the location shown in the post above. You know the "spacy" one?

It displays whatever is at /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg


A copy of the file (actually, it's normal storage location) is /Library/Desktop Pictures/Nature/Aurora.jpg. This is the copy that is the default wallpaper on new user accounts (this is so CoreServices is not in your Wallpaper's pref pane)

Does that mean that I could then swap that picture file out for a different one and that would then display as the log in/out screen?

Yes, that is exactly what it means. Remember to back things up before screwing around though.
