Customizing gnome3

I would like to know how can I change the account icon that appears in the gnome login screen as well as the background. Could anyone tell me how to do this or provide a link in which it is explained?

Gnome settings -> users -> click the image left of the username.

Just copy this theme to /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme

~/.local/share/gnome-shell/theme should work as well

Re: Customizing gnome3

Backgroud: Open gnome-tweak-tools (herramienta de retoques) - desktop - background - ubicacion del fondo (here, is neccesary to copy images to folder (background) or (images),,,  all is very intuitive,

Yes, I know. I have done it but it is not working. Desktop background continues without showing.

Thanks, I didn't think of clicking in the image left of the username to change user  image..... It is working. But background isn't.

put your background images in /home/pictures right click on desktop, click on change background, when open double click on background, click on pictures, choose the picture/background you want click on select
