I need to find a way to change the login window background image resolution to fit for every screen size, or different monitor that might be connected. So far I am either getting tiles or oversize or fits (if I match the computers screen rez). I have tried 256 x 256 pixels as in original but getting tiles.



png file path is in here:
/System/Library/Frameworks/AppKit.framework/Versions/C/Resources/NSTexturedFullScreenBackgroundColor.png



I wish Casper Configuration Profiles could have handled this too... just looking at it, but can't see anything related.



Anyone has achieved this?



Cheers

Currently testing on 10.8



Deeper is using SArtFile

Loginox doesnt let me revert on 10.8 but Deeper does. Also with deeper snapshotting with Composer works well :)



only problem now is to sort the tiling and a logo

Forgot about Deeper...had to get the 10.8 version, but that looks quite good too. 🙂

ive been messing about with Deeper and i think the best way is using Steves method. thanks Steve ;)



Unfortunately for me the designers have given me horrible files for Desktop Wallpaper pictures.



For my test box I set a solid colour instead of grey the tile like Steve did and a coloured company logo and they just dont look right on a 10.8 login.



Instead im opting for keeping the boring Apple grey tile and just choosing a grey company logo to replace the Apple one. If Apple decide to change things (like they always do) then the Login picture wont get screwed (or at least it wont be noticable so much!)



For the remaining 10.6 machines out there im going to blast out just a solid grey DefaultDesktop.jpg



If i do decide to do more on it then i would definately recommend using Deeper to just see what looks ok, but then to actually use Steves method.

Has anyone experienced the custom login window getting trashed once FileVault get's enabled? Our custom logo above the login fields gets cut off, once FileVault get's turned on. It drives me NUTS!
