[MYSWEETSEATS]

Dude, thank you! I was gonna scream the next time I had to look at the lame default login screen. Your directions are easy! Thanks!

[drrobertoboogie97]

When I open my imac it doesn't show the login screen, it instead shows the screen that shows when you wake the computer up from sleep, but my macbook shows the login screen. Is there any way to make my iMac open to show the login screen?

[JustinTW995]

[wbaussie1]

Very nice video!

[JAMESXO92]

Worked fine for me i have OSX on the new MacBook Pro

[shibby999955]

Hey man, this is a good tutorial, but I don't think it is as easy as just replacing a file. I'm on Leopard 10.5.4 and I went through your steps and the screen is just blue with my login pane. But I've done this in the past and a terminal command is a must but I'm not sure what it is.

[awsomeusername94]

thanks a ton man!

[1Ravangers1]

great vid man love it

[pudding0rox]

i LOVE my new login screen

[MacModTutorials]

In the SecurityAgent "Resources" folder there are folders entitled English.lproj, etc. however you are not entering these folders. Look for the file entitled 'applelogo.tif"; it should be the first file. Then you should delete and replace that file with one of your preference. But be sure to backup that file. Let me know if this helps.

[theapplefreakk]

yeah mine does the same as Conradge360. Even though i go into "Resources" folder, the applelogo.tif isn't there. All there are is the folders..Can u help me?

[kem594]

are you using a macbook?

because thats the problem I am having with mine. I cant find it even if i type it in.

[lourj3883]

did you figure this out? I've done it in the past. but now I don't see the applelogo.tif either.

[Kankki1]

Great video, man :)

[Bballer0905]

will this work in tiger

[MacModTutorials]

Bballer0905,

I have not worked that much with Tiger in customizing the appearance. However, the systems folder organization is very similar and the folders are titled the same. This should work then with Tiger. Just look for the same packages and folder on your computer. And following the same process, it should be successful. Just remember to backup your files and remember your exact modifications so you can restore back to the original state if you don't like the change.

In tiger you can also just find "aqua.jpg" in your desktop backgrounds folder, and replace it with any wallpaper aslong as you make sure the wallpaper is renamed to aqua.jpg

[sparroestar22]

@Bballer0905 no it wont i tried

[sirhamish666]
