My understanding is that by default Budgie/Slick Greeter should draw user backgrounds for the login screen. Which does currently work but only when using one of the backgrounds Solus provides. If using a custom background, located in the Pictures folder for example, the background is not displayed at the login screen and falls back to a static image (which can be changed in lightdm-settings
). Is anyone able to repeat this or have any idea why this might be happening? Have tried changing the location and permissions on the image file to no avail.
I'm pretty sure this used to work fine, so it might have something to do with the way backgrounds are now set, there used to be an option to set the the desktop and lock screen (not login screen!) background (as pictured here - https://getsol.us/articles/configuration/changing-backgrounds/en/) I'm not sure when the change occurred but now you are only able to select a background that will be used in both cases.
Thanks
