Cool Removing picture from login (password) screen

Greetings,

Some time ago I customized the image that appears during boot-up when the system asks you for the user and password prior to logging in. I can't remember how I did it, though, and now I want to change that picture, and can't figure out how.

Any help on changing this would be appreciated.

Thank you,

Rafagon (a.k.a. Alra111)

OnyX allows customizing the login screen if I remember correctly.
But un-customizing it will depend on how you customized it... try OnyX first.

Is it the background image you're talking about, or the user icon image?

This link should help

Looks pretty tedious, but sounds as if it should work. Hope so.

If I remember correct, OnyX may allow to do that too (or at least you can customize everything else on login screen with it - text and image..)

Onyx does allow you to customize the text, unfortunately though it does not allow you to change the background image.

I think MacPilot does let you change that Login picture & text.
