no login image?

[noobsauce]

my login background is just a blue screen when it's meant to be some space picture. is there any way to change it back to the space picture or another one?

Somehow, someway, the image at path /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg was either moved or renamed. The default image can be found in /Library/Desktop Pictures/Nature/Leopard Aurora.jpg. If you make a copy of the the Leopard Aurora.jpg and rename it to DefaultDesktop.jpg and put it in that folder, restarting the computer should restore your expected background at the login window. Note that you can actually use any image as long as it is titled DefaultDesktop.jpg and has that path. Other customization options for the login window.

You can also use Secrets to modify that (and many other) settings.

thanks, thought it would be a lot harder than this but solved the problem completely
