When entering Launchpad, the default background is a blurred out version of your desktop wallpaper. However, Apple has provided a way to slightly change this to your liking. Here's how to change the background of Launchpad on OS X Lion slightly:
To change the background, first enter Launchpad. You can do this by clicking the icon in your Dock, pinching with three fingers if you have a multitouch trackpad, or finding the Launchpad application in your Applications folder. Once in Launchpad, click the Command key (⌘) and the "B" key on your keyboard simultaneously. You should notice the background change to something slightly different every single time you press the B key (be sure to keep holding the Command key).
The options are:
- Blurred out version of desktop wallpaper (default)
- Gray, blurred out version of desktop wallpaper
- Desktop wallpaper with no blur
- Gray version of desktop wallpaper with no blur
Your background style choice is remembered every time you enter Launchpad.
Blurred, gray version of desktop wallpaper
Desktop wallpaper with no blur
Desktop wallpaper with blur (default)
Gray version of desktop wallpaper with no blur
