Change Login Background

cd /System/Library/CoreServices
sudo mv DefaultDesktop.jpg DefaultDesktopBackup.jpg
sudo cp [drag image] /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg
chown root:wheel /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg
chmod 644 /System/Library/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg

These command lines are intended to change Leopard default login background named DefaultDesktop.jpg with new image file. However, at line 2, we do the backup first by replacing the name of initial login background to DefaultDesktopBackup.jpg.

At the 3rd line, you will see there is something like [drag image]. This portion of command line means that you need to drag the new image file as new login background.

Performing the same lines of command with initial image file will change your login background back.
