README.md

Random Login Images on macOS

  • Tested on macOS Sierria, but anything post-Yosemite will probally work.

  • Will change the login background to a random one on initial login

  • Ensure that the file sizes and type (PNG) are correct. If not, I don't know what will happen.

  • I am not responsible for any damage this program causes, nor is any support provided/warantee given. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

  • Licensed under MIT (Expat).

  • Script and app included. Either can be used, app recommended for novices.

  • DOWNLOAD APP

How to Use (.app)

  1. Make a new folder at /Library/Caches/random.

  2. Drop your PNGs in the newly created folder.

  3. Open System Preferences, and go to Users and Groups.

  4. Click Login Items and add the app.

  5. Now on every login, the login image will change randomly!
