The login screen on your Mac is perfectly functional as it is, but if you want to spice it up a little bit, blogger Jacob Salmela shows you how to customize the login screen with a logo of your choosing. If you don't want to install a whole program just for a simple tweak it's easy to do manually. All you need is a PNG that's 428 X 248. Then, you'll need to save it as four different files. Here's instructions: You need four copies of this file, and they need to be named: apple.png apple@2x.png apple_s1.png apple_s1@2x.png Once they are named correctly, just drag them into the following path: /System/Library/PrivateFrameworks/LoginUIKit.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LoginUICore.framework/Resources/ and then choose to replace all of them. That's it, log out, and you should see your new logo. Head over to Salmela's site for a few sample images and instructions for making your own.
