Recovery Mode background?
- Thread starter indigo_k
- Start date
The DefaultDesktop I have is the photo of a sand dune that comes up when I'm logging in after a restart. Good to know I can change that! But not what I'm looking for. And sadly the search for 'Linen' didn't turn up anything either. Good suggestion, though!
Try mounting the Recovery partition (since that's where you saw it) and look in the same places suggested, but on that partition.

Yeah, so what I ended up trying was relaunching Recovery Mode, and using Disk Utility to save an image of the partition and saved that to my hard drive. Then I poked around all through there but still couldn't find it. The interface in Recovery Mode suggests there might be an app somewhere titled OSX Utilities, and this image might be part of that bundle, but still can't find that on the image.Try mounting the Recovery partition (since that's where you saw it) and look in the same places suggested, but on that partition.

@alexADB: Actually yeah! Those might be the ones I'm looking for. And even if not, they'll serve as a decent basis. Thanks!
