Setting your own user picture
There are a couple of methods you can use to set your user picture in LightDM:
Put ajpg
of your face in your home directory as a file called.face
or
- Add
Icon=/var/lib/AccountsService/icons/<youraccountname>
to the bottom of/var/lib/AccountsService/users/<youraccountname>
and place a profile image at/var/lib/AccountsService/icons/<youraccountname>
Setting a custom background image
- Put a
jpg
at/var/lib/AccountsService/wallpapers/lightdm-webkit.jpg
(You may need to create the wallpapers directory) and set background engine to image in the settings
Setting multiple custom background images to pick from
- Put a
jpg
or apng
in/var/lib/AccountsService/wallpapers
or in a directory specified by thebackground_images
variable in your/etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf
(either thegreeter
or thebranding
section) and set the background engine to random image in the settings.
