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.

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

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.

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?

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.
