Splash screen

[Lothar Gesslein]

Hi,

The background color can be changed via
Computer -> System Configuration -> Login Screen Setup, go to the
Standard greeter page and there you are, in the bottom right corner is
the button for changing the background color of the splash screen.

If you don't want to change the splash image by editing the gconf keys
by hand, install the "gtweakui" package and run gtweakui-session with
root privileges, there is an button to change the image easily via an
file selector dialog.

greets, ulmen
