Change the login window background and text
These scripts make changes to your loginwindow preference file. If the file doesn't exist it will be created.
This preference is set for the computer (all users) as it effects the login window we all see when we log in. The preferences are stored in a plist file /Library/Preferences/com.apple.loginwindow.plist
You could use terminal commands to add these things yourself - the scripts just add a confirmation dialog box and make it easier for novice users.
For the picture script the image needs to be a jpeg and needs to be stored in a public folder as the system needs access to the file before a user logs in.
The picture will be squished or stretched to fit on the screen.
