Ubuntu : how to change Login screen in Ubuntu 11.10

How to Change Login Screen – Background/Logo from Terminal
Open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+t) and type the command (to manually edit the lightDM configuration file) -

sudo gedit /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf

Then a new window will appear, where you need to provide the path for the background image.


In a similar way, you can change the default logo, by editing the just below line in unity-greeter.conf file.
