brent My custom login wallpaper stayed the same after reboot, but lock-screen wallpaper is now new Snow-mountains one instead of dark blue one. I personally not a fan of both. Is there a way to change lock-screen wallpaper from the GUI? That lock-screen is too ugly so I never even bothered to change wallpaper on it 😆

      Solarmass You can install lightdm-settings from the repo and run sudo lightdm-settings in the terminal to bring up the application. You should be able to change it there.

          EbonJaeger I have it installed, and my custom wallpaper already there. It works for the login screen but not for the lock-screen. Does it work for you?

              Solarmass Ohhh lock screen. I swear I have reading comprehension. Changing the desktop background in Budgie Control Center should also change the lock screen wallpaper. At least, it does on my system.

                  opposite sequence for me:
                  Login Screen=Frosty
                  Operating System=Old Wallpaper (did not get replaced with frosty; I did it manually)
                  Lockscreen=None
                  It's weird your login stayed custom while my desktop only stayed custom. probably means nothing.

                      Anything the user has already customized should stay as it is. Only unchanged defaults will be changed to the new default.

                          Staudey makes sense, thanks. had the default (then) purple for login not for screen.

                              brent The configuration in your home folder will override the branding.

                                All I know is that on Gnome things turned to dark theme. I just had to go into settings and switch it from "Dark" to "Default". I futzed around in Themes in Tweaks, but I don't know if that was really necessary.

                                  riffer Yes, GNOME was changed to "Dark" preference for consistency with the default dark theme.

                                    I tried to change the image of login screen background with

                                    sudo lightdm-settings

                                    unsuccessfully, the default image disappears, but only the background color remains.
                                    With Bugie Control Center I can change only the wallpaper desktop .

                                        FAb7D For my part, I managed to change the wallpaper of the login screen by installing the gnome-tweaks package. Launch the application, then select the Appearance menu.

                                            Thanks, but it doesn't work, I use Budgie, but I tried, I can change the desktop background and that's it.

                                              try with lightdm-settings it should work. it's not installed by default

                                              Found it, it was my stupid mistake, I was pointing to an image in my home, therefore not readable before logging in. Instead of lightdm-settings you can edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf , it's the same.
