Change background on login screen for Ubuntu 24.04

General Linux Help

Trying to put a background on my logon screen (the one that pops up after you logout, or bootup) - tried ‘login window’ but it doesn’t work, and seems to only mess with lock-screen (which ‘lockscreen extension’ does a great job with the lock-screen background) causing suspend to logout instead.

‘GDM settings’ has no option to put a background on the login screen, only the GRUB screen, but I use ‘Grub Customizer’ for that…

My old 18.04lts did it so easy… any ideas how to do this?

That part was/is handled by Plymouth at least in 22.04, take a look in /usr/share/ plymouth/themes.

That looks like the stuff on the screen as it boots up - the spinning logo stuff - I’m looking for the screen after all that goes away and you have the black background with the user and password in the middle. Trying to put some background there besides the dull ‘black’…
