Cocktail - A collection of mini-utilties in one app
Authored by: ro1960 on Apr 12, '04 05:34:00PM

I have my PowerBook start up automatically at 6:45am, Cocktail set to run shortly after. It's cool as it runs without having to log in, so you see it doing it's work behind the login window and then it restarts once it's done.

The only grief I have is really minimal, yet annoying. My custom account photo in the log in window (one I created, not an Apple one) reverts to the default one after Cocktail has run.

I emailed the developer and haven't received an answer.

Any idea?

Just move your picture to the place where Apple keeps the system pictures and you'll survive the cache cleaning. I created a folder called "Personal" in /Library/User Pictures/ and stored my images there. Now I can choose my personal pictures in the Picture tab of the Accounts preference. Your pictures will show up alongside all of the annoying dog/cat/snowflake images that Apple supplies us with.

The key is to go to /Library and NOT ~/Library.
