Hi Brian, Below is the content of my greeter.gconf-defaults file.
Note here that the banner-message does not appear either but the disable-user and disable-restart-buttons both work strangely enough. [org/gnome/desktop/background] picture-uri='file:///usr/share/images/desktop-base/bg-login.svg' picture-options='zoom' [org/gnome/login-screen] logo='/usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/places/debian-swirl.png' fallback-logo='/usr/share/icons/gnome/48x48/places/debian-swirl.png' disable-user-list=true disable-restart-buttons=true banner-message-enable=true banner-message-text='Welcome to Debian 8' On Sunday, August 7, 2016 1:00 AM, Brian <a...@cityscape.co.uk> wrote: On Sat 06 Aug 2016 at 21:37:53 +0000, ML mail wrote: > I have a Debian 8 desktop with GNOME and would like to change the default > dark grey background of the GDM3 login screen.
