Linux Lite Forums

Hello! I'm trying to expand my knowledge on Linux-like operating systems, and coming from a Windows background, I thought Linux Lite would be a good place to try. So far I'm pretty impressed with just how lightweight it is. I do have some questions regarding as to how to configure it, though.
I'm using version 1.0.6, (mainly because I like the style, and for the compiz-fusion-addon compatibility. Gotta have my eye candy  8)).

How can I configure the login and boot screens? Such as changing what wallpapers are used, where the images for them are located, and how to change them? I know how to change my userface, but nothing else. I also know how to change the desktop settings, but configuring the login page seems a lot less straightforward. I'm aware of the /usr/shared/xfce4/backdrop directory, but that seems to contain only the desktop background images, not the login or boot screen images.

In version 2.6, you would just right click on the desktop and go to Desktop Settings to see information about your wallpapers.

Besides compiz-fusion-addon, is there a reason you're not using the Linux Lite 2.x series, or at least running version 1.0.8?

Why did I choose 1.0.6? No particular reason. I just happened to like the default settings it had most. I do have version 2.6 as well, and I run both through VM, to see the differences. I'm mostly trying to learn how to configure things other than the desktop, though. How can I change things such as bootscreen and login wallpapers? There doesn't seem to be a GUI for it.

There are other posts in the forum on grub modifications.  I recall seeing a recent one last week.

Thanks for the updates.
I've also learned how to change the login screen. Apparently I had a lot of learning to do. I had to learn what display manager I was using, and Linux Lite 1.0.6 came with LightDM. From there, I looked in /etc/LightDM and see what greeter was used. When I learned the default greeter was LightDM Webkit Greeter (located in /usr/share/lightdm-webkit-greeter/themes/linuxlite) and changing the style.css to change things like background and button icons.

I was surprised to learn how open this stuff is and and easy it was to change things because of it.
