lightdm-webkit2-greeter backgrounds

Hello,

I have installed lightdm-webkit2-greeter and everything is also working fine.
There is the possibility to change the backgroundimage in the top right corner.
In the config from lightdm-webkit2-greeter is the following:

background_images = /usr/share/backgrounds

In this folder there are two additional folders, gnome and xfce. I have added my own wallpaper to these directories. The idea is then, to select it over the greeter page as described above. But my wallpapers are not there only the standard wants which can be found in the xfce and gnome folders.

My wallpaper is called schlern_new.jpg and schlern.jpg, both in the two folders gnome and xfce.

Hopefully, someone of you have an idea.

Thanks in advance and best regards,

Re: lightdm-webkit2-greeter backgrounds

Are you running Antergos?

No, it didn't "fix" anything. It just shifted the brokeness one space to the right. - jasonwryan
