Great tutorial. I've always wondered how that works.

...and they say Macs are dead simple.
Windows can do that in less than 5 clicks without opening terminal crap

Why not use the terminal to rename the file instead of making the Finder show hidden files?

@ J3K4 - You don't need to use terminal to do it. There are free apps that let you hide files with a single click. Show & Hid or Hide Folders are a few. I use a program called File Buddy.

The interface for setting the background doesn't let you browse to a hidden file. That's what makes it so awkward. It doesn't seem to track the name changing of the image file either.
