Change the background color during startup

Published by dipinkrishna at 12:35 am under Uncategorized Edit This

Originally a brownish color to match the Ubuntu theme, it does not quite fit with other themes and might want to be changed. Enter the gdm.conf file (sudo gedit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf). About two-thirds of the way down you will see the lines:

BackgroundColor=#dab082
GraphicalThemedColor=#dab082

Change it to what you like. For all black, use:

BackgroundColor=#000000
GraphicalThemedColor=#000000
