Change the Login Screen the Best Way

Using this method you can customize every aspect of your login screen. It allow you to customize your login screen just like the way you do with your desktop wallpaper. Start by opening a command line window and put in this command:

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow

Now logout and you’ll see an Appearance window pop up. Change it to how you prefer it. You can change the theme, background, mouse cursor, and icons.

When finished, close it and login as usual. When you have logged in after finishing the customizing, run this command to prevent the Appearance window from opening at the GDM screen every time.

sudo unlink /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop

A good idea is to use the Bisigi Themes. If you don't have Bisigi Themes already installed then we have covered it in Give Ubuntu a Fresh New Look with Bisigi Themes.
