Distro: Ubuntu 22.04.01 LTS
Gnome version: 42.5
Howdy! My question is simple enough. Once I've logged into my account my lock screen has my own background image behind it, however before I log in it just has the stock grey background. How can I get my lock screen to have my personal background image on boot? I guess this might be done by changing some line in:
/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gnome-shell.css
?
You can set your personal background image as the lock screen background by modifying the gdm3.css file located in the /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gdm3-theme.gresource file. This can be done by running the following command in the terminal:
sudo nano /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gdm3-theme.gresource
Then you can use ctrl + W to search for the "lockDialogGroup" and you'll find the background-image property, you can change the path to your personal background image path.
Alternatively, you can also use a tool like gnome-tweaks to change the lock screen background image.
You might also want to backup the original gdm3.css file before editing it.
