How to change the orange color which is between the login screen and your fully loaded Ubuntu desktop  

Posted by Unknown in , ,

After you logged in from your ultra cool gdm theme the colour will briefly switch to a anoying orange colour. This can be changed as follows:

Open a terminal and write: sudo gedit /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default

Then change
# Default value
if [ “x$BACKCOLOR” = “x” ]; then
BACKCOLOR=”#dab082″
fi

to

# Default value
if [ “x$BACKCOLOR” = “x” ]; then
BACKCOLOR=”#dab000000″
fi

Good post.
it would be good if you let people choose the color themselves

Thanks for the comment. Actually the colour variable can be changed according to your taste. You just need to find out the code for that colour. There are plenty of tools available in Linux to do so.
