So I've found a solution, and ahem, well I hope you are command-line-savy :D Edit /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom to your needs. I changed following entries in [greeter] section: BackgroundColor=#4c4c4c GraphicalThemedColor=#4c4c4c ... yeah, I like #4c4c4c pretty much :D So, normally this should work, but the Ubuntu-guys added a script which gets executed right after you inserted your user name and password: /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default. Its intend is just eye-candy, so just change the ugly default color to something you prefer. Edit /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default in line 61 (on my box) BACKCOLOR="#dab082" to BACKCOLOR="#4c4c4c" or something else. At last you need to restart your gdm with # sudo invoke-rc.d gdm restart and you're done. Hope this works. Have a nice day! Benjamin
