Customize Your Login and Lock Screens With Lion

Posted by Jeff Campbell in "Apple Software (OS X)" @ 03:00 PM

"Mac OS X Lion brings a nice new feature to login and lock screens that allow you to display a message underneath the login panel. This is visible to everyone and it makes for a great place to put either a generic personalization or better yet, a lost & found message."

Pretty simple to set up if you have the "Require Password" feature turned on. All you have to do is go to System Preferences -> Security & Privacy -> General Tab then click on the lock icon in the lower left of the window. Once you enter the admin password click on the "Show Message When Screen is Locked" button and type your login and message in the box. The click the lock icon to save your changes. Pretty simple. If you want the free Fliqlo background, that acts as a clock, just head here.

Self Destructing Messages? Yea, There's an App for That...

"Anyone familiar with Mission: Impossible has heard the famous lines, "this message will self destruct in 5 seconds." Now there's an app equivalent with TigerText."

While the app itself is free, there are costs involved, at least for sending since receiving messages is always free. After your first free 100 messages that you have 15 days to use, it costs $1.49 USD per month for 250 messages or $2.49 USD per month for unlimited. Someone like Tiger Woods (coincidence in the naming of this app per the developers..yea right) definitely could have used this and probably would have opted for the unlimited plan.
