Usual question – are you using Gnome or something else? Are you using
GDM to login?

       On this computer I left the GUI login screen that comes with the
       XFCE Live Spin from which I installed. What I see resembles some
       clouds and what might be a space ship? Short answer, I dunno!


If so, I’ve got a file called /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/01-local-settings
containing these lines:

[org/gnome/desktop/background]
picture-options='zoom'
picture-uri='file:///home/james/picture.jpg'

You may need to create this file and the parent directory, and you may
need to run
dconf update
as root, and obviously change the file:///… bit to a real picture.

There’s a GUI program called dconf-editor which allows you to edit dconf
settings. In particular, you can browse to org/gnome/desktop/background
to see what the options are. It looks like something like this might do
you (untested!)

[org/gnome/desktop/background]
picture-options='none'
color-shading-type='solid'
primary-color='#3020b0'

At any rate, there’s something for you to play with…

Hope this helps,

James.


       I suppose the need to change is trivial but I will give it a try.

       Thank you,

       Bob
