Mac OS X log in screen not matching wallpaper

Doju · Oct 23, 2009

Can I make it match my wallpaper? Kind of annoying to have the spacey wallpaper for when I log in, but then when it goes to my desktop it changes.

The default desktop is located at /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg.

Make a backup and just replace that .jpg with what you want.

if you don’t want to screw around too much

Nope. 🙁

I have no CoreServices in my Library folder.

You are looking in the Library folder on your user account.
