Ricardo, Once you have changed your background color, you may find configuring the actual XDM login window useful. The XDM man page [1] covers a number of X resources that will configure how the various widgets in the login window are drawn. I believe XDM in Debian reads /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources. Also, this project [2] covers some details of configuring a pretty XDM.
