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:
1Prepare the picture you want to use.
You could use a graphic file, or take a picture using an iSight camera.
2Open System Preferences.
The System Preferences application launches.
3Select the Accounts pane.
4Select your account, and choose the Picture button.
5Replace your current account picture with the new picture.
6Close System Preferences.
