I’m on Debian with XFCE I’ve already tried modifying /etc/default/grub and /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf The first resulted in nothing (I actually have grub timeout set to 0, so I’m not sure if I only need changing grub’s config), the bootsplash was still default The second resulted in black login bg

    if your grub timeout is set to zero, you’re almost never going to see the bootloader screen.

    Pretty sure you have to rebuild the grub update-grub after editing the config files.

    There are programs to help like grub-custonizer.

    Careful as messing with grub can break your system.

    I think the boot splash is done by a software called Plymouth. At least that used to be the case when I last had a boot splash: https://wiki.debian.org/plymouth

    As for the login greeter… That could have a bunch of different reasons. Maybe you have a typo in the config. Maybe the picture has the wrong format. Or the file system permissions are wrong hence it can’t be loaded?!
