.plist that controls the "aqua.jpg" pic behind the Login pane?
I want to edit the blue default desktop pic behind the Login pane. I know the OS uses the pic named "Aqua Blue.jpg". I want to use another pic. Where is this .plist value at?
(Yes, I know I can "trick" the OS by just renaming my pic of choice to "Aqua Blue.jpg", but I think thats sloppy.)
Im gonna add my corporate logo to the Login background.

otherwise, I'd also look around osxhints.com
let us know too if you find out
Now assuming it's root, you could just try and activate that user, log in to its GUI, set the desktop background and log out. Might work.
/Library/Desktop Pictures/Aqua Graphite.jpg
/Library/Desktop Pictures/Aqua Blue.jpg
are hardcoded into loginwindow. Not sure about the first, I presume it's used for OS X Server?
You /could/ technically edit the binary to change these strings but I would strongly discourage that.
Sorry, I can't find a solution right now

Didn't work for me. I logged in as root and set the desktop pic to be a bright orange image to test. Logged out and even rebooted to test it. The Login window still has the default Apple "Aqua Blue.jpg" desktop image behind the Login pane. I tried it on 4 Macs running Jag and Panther. No luck.
I personally use the plain blue, it looks better during startup and shutdown, more consistent.
It would be nice if there was a pref for this, though.
