Just installed and the login screen is back to industrial linen rather than my desktop image I had crafted for login.

Software is great - easy to use and does what it says. Suggest anyone who wants to change various aspects of the Lion GUI, give this a try.
Recommended!

so I went to the developer's web page and tried to d/l the file from there - but the internal link was busted, so no joy there.
has anyone actually downloaded the file and installed it?

This is another app Apple should have included if they were going to invent these things.
Then again mission control is totally vista like...someone at Apple is getting their ass kissed. Oh that is lovely destroy spaces with that your so wonderful KISS KISS KISS. Fine add it but why did they remove the option to have simple spaces. The problem with mission control is on a MacBook the spaces are too small to see. With the old spaces you could have just 4 spaces and when zoomed out it was like a mission control you could actually see what was going on in each space...now it is like a satallite view and useless on small screens.
I hope Apple do not go MS and start with all these OTT ideas. This is one of their worst backward steps on years.
At least this app lets us try to tidy it up a bit.

I get access forbidden from moritzwette.bplaced.net, is it possible be I'm trying to access from Hong Kong or just my setting is wrong.

After I installed this app, that is what happened on my system. The desktop background became Andromeda.jpg -- the default desktop -- and I was no longer able to change the background.
I deleted deleted several different caches and preference files, both using OnyX and by manually, but these tries did not fix the problem.
I finally resorted to deleting the file /System/CoreServices/DefaultDesktop.jpg and replacing it by renaming the background I wanted to use as the "DefaultDesktop.jpg." This worked.
However, still no ability to change the background. The preference command is simply broken.
I'm not sure whether Lion Designer is the culprit, but it was the last app I installed before the breakage, and it was installed just before the breakage, too.
