Setting Background image in simulator home-screen

Question

I was scratching my brains over something when this popped in my mind. Can we set the simulator\'s home-screen background image to an image of our choice? Case in point is Xcode

Answer 1

It is possible (again) with the iOS Simulator version 6 (for iOS6).

First, add some images to your photo library. You can do this by using Mobile Safari (either surf the web or drag a local image to the simulator). Then perform a long press and save to camera roll.

Second, open "Photos", select the image and set as Background.

Third, restart the simulator (this irritated me at first, as it doesn't seem to work immediately)
