Although, I want to find out where it stores the actual image filename.

Nope, still purple. Probably just going to install debian.

Then you didn't follow the instructions....

This alone is all you need:

Code:

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow

When you remove the background image default, there is a solid color background, which is purple. These instructions have absolutely nothing to do with changing the color of the background.

OK, excuse me... I used a background image and it's much better. No more purple for me.

You know that you could use a blank image of any color that you like, right?

Yes, understood. But I wouldn't learn anything that way.

I feel like I just gave birth... but it could be that I am half drunk. Anyway, no more purple forcryingoutloud.

Edit the xml in: /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults

find: <entry name="primary_color" and change the string value to the color you want
do the same thing with <entry name="secondary_color" just in case

Okay, now to get out of this half-drunk state and go full retard.
