# Ubuntu change login background on GDM3
Uses built in commands to change the GDM login screen wallpaper on Ubuntu 24.04, without modifying CSS files or resources directly. I think this may work with Ubuntu 22.04 as well.
These are the sample files for my blog post on [Syncing the login wallpaper with the desktop wallpaper on Ubuntu](https://code.mendhak.com/synchronize-login-wallpaper-ubuntu/).
## Usage
To set an image as the login screen wallpaper, use:
```bash
sudo ./change.sh ~/Pictures/testwallpaper.jpg
```
To set the current desktop wallpaper as the login screen wallpaper, use:
```bash
sudo ./sync_desktop_wallpaper_to_login.sh
```
