Login screen and wallpaper

[formo]

Hey, i recently finish with the upgrade to fedora 16 and i have two problems. first the login screen is with a minor resolution and second i cant change my wallpaper it keeps that image of that verne boat. i know its not that bad but i find it annoying.

With the instructions on http://smashingweb.ge6.org/change-th...-login-screen/ I was able to change the login wallpaper. You will have to start with a terminal screen and do

$ su -

Then continue with the instructions on that site, ignoring error messages, you should see your new background (like good old /usr/share/themes/Adwaita/backgrounds/stripes.jpg for instance) on next boot.

EDIT: This is my login wallpaper now. (Sans the icon box.)

FWIW, there is a little application , gdm3setup, that will do this as well
