Changing Your Observed Client Icon

By default, the icon that the Remote Desktop administrator sees while observing is the
login icon for the currently logged-in user. If you had an iSight camera active when
setting up your computer, you may have taken a picture of yourself for your user icon.

You can change this icon, and it will change on the administrator’s observation screen.

To change your login icon:

1

Prepare the picture you want to use.
You could use a graphic file, or take a picture using an iSight camera.

2

Open System Preferences.
The System Preferences application launches.

3

Select the Accounts pane.

4

Select your account, and choose the Picture button.

5

Replace your current account picture with the new picture.

6

Close System Preferences.
