I tried setting the login screen background to my wallpaper, and this works for locking once I'm signed in, but when I boot up I just get a solid color purple screen, and it totally glitches when I sign in, but eventually goes to the desktop. How can I either fix this (preferably setting it statically to my desktop wallpaper), or at the very least reset it to default? Thanks in advance for any help.
