Thanks for this information. I did not want to change the background in mission control but I did want to use that background on my desktop. You helped me find it and I am very grateful!

Hi, John.

You must pay attention to the capitalization… DefaultDesktop.png is different from defaultdesktop.png

I think it’ll do the trick… Plz, let me know if it doesn’t.

I’ve done this before, but recently had to reinstall OS X Lion and perform the mod again. However, this time the Mission Control background is shown as the default Lion galaxy desktop i.e., “DefaultDesktop.png” in Core Services. I’ve tried killing the dock, relaunching finder, relaunching the UI server…no dice. Any thoughts?

You probably just need to use a larger image, try using one that is the size of your desktop resolution
