I've been Googling like a maniac trying to find an answer, so I've now decided to ask here.
How do I go about changing the background of the login screen? (lightdm-gtk-greeter).
It currently uses whatever background I set as desktop background, and doesn't listen to any configuration in the /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
, this is what it's currently set to:
[greeter]
background=/home/illidan/Pictures/bg.png

Method 1: Assuming you're running <=14.0.4,
Worked for me. Also, you might need to chmod 644 your background.
Method 2
Copy the picture file to this location
Change the file name to
warty-final-ubuntu.png
(The image must be a PNG obviously)
