Is there a way to change the Live splash in OS X? How?

omg. great picture

yep, it was a feature of this forum a few years back.
I still love the beauty.

I found it on someone's "personal" photo album, one of those crappy things that comes with your web host package. it wasn't even tagged as an ironic masterpiece. It was just evidence of them and their friends on a nice night out. loverly

I'll gladly pay an additional 5 dollars to have these splashscreens in v8

look around the program directory, there's a file called 'splashscreen.tif' (on PCs at least.) open that in a graphical editor, check its size then make an image the same size or convert one of the above to a .tif and name it splashscreen.tif.

don't have Live with me to give specifics.

ctrl - click on Ableton app.
choose 'show package contents'

open these folders (nested)

contents > App-resources > versions

The splash screen is called Livesplash.tif

Replace it with an image with the same name and same dimensions.

Mine's a frog (from a thread posted yonks ago, included dark side of the moon, etc)

Every time you update Live you have to do it again

LOL
