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.

@ 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.

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

...and they say Macs are dead simple.

Windows can do that in less than 5 clicks without opening terminal crap
