Does anyone know how to change the user (login) picture (automaticaly).
When you select your picture it seems to copy it somwhere, so modifying the original does not change the actual one on the login panel.
I want to be able to run an Applescript or Terminal script to change my user icon.
Is this possible???
$10 for the genius.

You can always use AppleScript for GUI scripting. It'll go through the motions for you so you don't have to.
I'm sure there is an easier, and much better way, but I don't know what it is.

I though of that, I want to do it transparently in the background.
Thanks anyway!

Have a look at "niutil" in /usr/bin. The user picture is just a property in the netinfo database.

I didn't think of that. I suppose it doesn't need to be live since it only loads when you log out or boot.
