I figured out long ago how to change the background image and theme in GDM. It's not that difficult. But I have been suffering forever over how to change the image that is in the login box, directly above my name. I want it to show an Ubuntu or Gnome logo, but right now it just shows a blue box. I can't figure out how to do it, and because I want to learn how this stuff works,I don't want to use a third-party tool such as ubuntu tweaks.
how to change the color of the Ubuntu logo 10.04, the logo that is on the login screen. The logo is white, and I'd like to change it to red or blue. Can I change it in the terminal? If so, can you tell me the command. Or is there another way to get it changed?
I changed the boot splash screen no prob (Plymouth theme).
the code I need to change the colours in the Linux Ubuntu logo to green white and orange. tell me if I can do this in the terminal or do I neded to log in as admnistrator. I am ok (Just ok) with Linux and am certainly not an expert
I am trying to change the ubuntu logo that appears before the applications tab on the top left corner. I tried the different ways I found on google but none of them work, can someone direct me and /or tell me how I can do this?
I keep trying to use Ubuntu Tweak to change the start button logo, and for some reason it did before, but now it just won't change. Its a 24x24 png with transparency.
How can i replace ubuntu logo,(white logo with black background) which comes very first while booting (it also comes while shuting down) in ubuntu 9.10. I am able to replace other images, which comes after this image. I have done it by replaceing my images with the images present in /usr/share/images/xflash.But it is not possible to replace the mentioned image by this way. Where the above mentioned image (white with black bg) will be stored?
I would like to change my startup image (usplash image). For that i change /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu_logo.png and /lib/plymouth/themes/ubuntu-logo/ubuntu_logo16.png. Then the splash screen of shutdown screen changes .But booting screen doesnot change.
I recently installed Ubuntu 10.04 Netbook Remix on my Gateway LT3103u. I noticed shortly into using it that it has a graphics bug every so often. Especially when I change the background image. Everything will change to a warped mix of colors and pixels. Everything is affected. My mouse, the bar at the top of the screen, text and all. My netbook runs on an AMD Athlon 64-bit processor with ATI Radeon X1270 HyperMemory up to 256MB graphics.
So far I have tried reinstalling, and even the 64bit desktop edition which had the same problem. Ive noticed that it freaks out when i scroll too quick, when changing background images, and on certain websites. Then other times its completely random. When it happens it looks similar to these: [URL]

When I start my laptop: Dell Vostro 1720, it starts loading grub, I select Ubuntu, and after that, appears one image of ubuntu logo and few points, like loading... I show it : Since I updated to ubuntu 10.04, I had this problem
1- How to change it ?
2- When I install StartupManager, it appears only with two options: Startup Options and Advanced. And there I can't change the ubuntu loading image. If we check google images, we can see more than this... I suppose this is caused by ubuntu startupManager download link....
3-I tried copy by different ways the splash.png. With gnome-conf, setting the key in apps...splash.png. Didn't work. Also I tried to replace "/usr/share/images/xsplash/bg_2560x1600.jpg" to another pic I have, but no result.
I've recently installed Ubuntu Netbook Remix 10.4 on my HP Mini 210 HD, and installed gtk2-murrine package to utilize a theme I downloaded gnome-look.org/content/show.p...content=124548...This all worked well, until I attempted to change the background on the Gnome desktop. Upon entering the Appearance configuration, there is a file explorer fork-bomb that occurs and floods my Taskbar for up to a minute after I've entered the config. Has anyone ever experience this and if so, how can I fix this?On top of this, I cannot change the background even if I select a new image.
so i got some themes following these instructions [URL]... is there a way i can get my login window (not the background image) to look like it does in one of these images [URL]...
I have installed backtrack4 on my laptop with windows7, and installed grub2.I am having a problem on showing a splash screen.I don't have a splash screen that shows neither on grub2 nor grub legacy.I have searched too many tutorials, but I don't know what's the problem, because all of them shows how to change the splash image, but don't mention anything about enabling it.Note that the live cd loads an image.So I don't think it's my vga or something.
I was installing a bunch of packages and one of them ended up changing the background image. This was seen after logging back in. I proceeded to right click on the background and change it back while logged in. After a 2nd reboot I could see it changed it for my userid, but I still get that wrong background during the login prompt. How can I change it back for there?
I installed OpenSUSE 11.2-KDE about 2 weeks ago, and have been pretty satisfied with it so far. Apart from one niggling little problem. When I went to the 'Password and User Account' page (Configure Desktop>About Me) and tried to change from the default image to something more personal, I got a message box saying "Your administrator has disallowed changing your image." However, on the same page I was allowed to enter personal details and could, if I wished, have changed my password. I logged in as root to see if I could change it from there, but I got the same message. As this is a single-user machine, where I am effectively root/administrator, it would appear I am banning myself from changing my image. So far, I've been allowed to change anything else.
[URL]... I want to change the image in the floating ubuntu screensaver in 10.04 back to what was used in 9.10. I used the guide above but overwrote the old file instead of creating a new one. When I click on it, it shows the image I specified, but in the screensaver manager under system>preferences it still plays the new logo, not the old one. I've restarted my computer and such but no luck. Is there something else that needs to be changed?

I have Ubuntu Tweak installed but it only lets me change the login background to an image. Is it possible to use a color in hex?I am using Ubuntu 10.10.
First, I wrote a bare bones bash script to change the gnome desktop background to a random image [URL] Then, I realized there are dozens of bash scripts posted in the ubuntu forums just like this one [URL] next, rothalem & I rediscovered the drama of processing files in bash that have spaces in the name [URL] Finally, sflitman suggested dumping bash all together & just using perl [URL]
Result :
A pretty little perl script to change the gnome desktop wallpaper / background to a random image. - If you are unfamiliar with perl :
[URL]
The completed script isn't bullet proof but it will :
- accept command line arguments - accept files & dirs with spaces in the name - catch most errors or use the defaults.
Step 1 : Inherit the appropriate CPAN library ( from command line )
- Main Menu -> Accessories -> Terminal
Code:
sudo cpan File::Random
Step 2 : Cut-n-Paste this code into a perl script & change red line to the path_to_your_wallpaper_images
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w # rocuan & sflitman use Cwd; use strict;
To change the GDM image all you really have to do is right click on the desktop and hit "Change Desktop Background" and select the picture you want and then hit the "Make Default" button and both will change naturally. (The lock screen and GDM Login background)Then just switch it back to your usual desktop wallpaper and go on about your day.
