[QUOTE="alice1, post: 1260077, member: 206357"] That was the first method I tried. I used those very instructions. Like I said above, changing it the manual way was the first thing I tried. I saved the image from Photoshop. I've gone thru the process again. It is definitely a jpg. Color profile is not embedded, and the resolution is set exactly to my screen resolution (1280x800 @ 72 dpi). Yes, the name is "DefaultDesktop.jpg". The permissions are as follows: "You have custom access". Me: Read & Write. wheel: Read only. everyone: Read only. INTERESTING UPDATE: After logging in and then logging out (not restarting), the background image works. It appears the only time it doesn't work is on a fresh boot/reboot. Also, after changing the file back to the original, not even that shows up. I don't know if it was working previously because I never used the login prompt. I only enabled it [I]after[/I] manually swapping out the background file using the method Slydude mentioned. Could that have something to do with the problem? ~Alice [/QUOTE]
