How to change Login Screen Background in Ubuntu Linux 10.04(10.10) Lucid Lynx (HD)

Here i'm showing you how to change your login screen background in Ubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx.
First type this in your terminal (root password required):


sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow

Now log off and you'll see Appearance Window (give it few seconds to show) select picture that you wan't to set as background or add picture fill like normal background.
Now log in and open terminal , will need to unlink that Appearance Window from showing every time you go to Login Screen so type this :

sudo unlink /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop

And that is it you have changed your Login Background.

Darko, How did you get the theme that you are using in the video. It reminds me of Apple's OSX GUI.

[darkodelta]

@jonathoncasey Its default Ubuntu theme. I just added dock and removed bottom panel. Thats all.

@darkodelta Oh thanks. It worked for me.

@goose32395 It changes Login Screen background and that screen is not related to any account it shows before you login to any account. (its that screen which show you the list of accounts to select which one to login)

Does this change the background for all the profiles or just one?
