Where does OS X store GUI images?

[anarchopath]

On the first boot, when messages pop up asking you to agree or if you're sure, there is an image of a tuxedo. Where is it stored on the system? I would like to use it as my avatar.

Go digging through /System/Library/Core Services.

Not totally sure you'll find the icon you're looking for, but that is where a lot of that stuff lives.

It's in SetUpAssistant App bundle in Coreservices, so/System/Library/CoreServices.

It's an Icon, you can open the Icon in Preview, then select All and make a new from Clipboard, but, I attached it here for you.

Click on this, it opens in a new Tab, then drag to Desktop.

You need 500 posts for an avatar, you can however set a profile picture, which is only visible on your profile page.

Here is the latest sticky about avatars.
