In my opinion, this is the best solution: Replace this line in /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default
BACKCOLOR="#dab082" With this: BACKCOLOR=`gdmflexiserver --command="GET_CONFIG greeter/BackgroundColor $DISPLAY"` If you make changes using gdmsetup, won't have to change the file, for every backcolor change. The file is used only by GDM, i don't think that the file should have a static color in its config. -- login background color is hardcoded https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132833 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
