[h=How to create/replace a profile picture]2[/h]

**Make sure you're in developer mode

You can either download your preferred photo from the web (Picnik app allows you to take a new photo with the built-in webcam) OR you can copy it from USB/SD. The default size for the photo is 256x256px and in a .PNG format.

-Web:

1) Right click on the PNG photo and click "Save image as.." Change the picture name to youremail@gmail.com.png
2) Save it to your "Downloads" folder
3) Enter root shell by:
CTRL+ALT+F2 (--> key), then type 'sudo su -'
4) Type this into the command line:

mv /home/chronos/user/Downloads/youremail@gmail.com.png /home/chronos

5) Reboot

-USB/SD:

1) Insert USB/SD
2) Enter root shell by:
CTRL+ALT+F2 (--> key), then type 'sudo su-'
3) Change directory to your USB/SD:

cd /media/yourUSBorSDcardName

(If you don't know its name you can cd to /media and then 'ls' to list folders)
4) Type 'ls' to list the files on your USB/SD once you're in the proper directory (folder)
5) Type in:

cp myPreferredPhoto.png /home/chronos/youremail@gmail.com.png

6) Reboot

Great article! Nice to have this all in one place.

Can you just flip the dev switch and then flip back and it's reset to factory defaults with the ability to shoot a new pic? I hope it's that easy, if it's not it should be.
