SOLVED: Change the login screen wallpaper

[Member fillet]

Tried several times to change the wallpaper, both with
gksu antixccslim.sh
and through the control center/sessions, but after I select the new background from /usr/share/wallpapers (the same as the one used for the WM desktop) and press Commit and then OK, the login screen still shows the original wallpaper.
What is the correct method for changing the wallpaper on the login screen?
Thanks!

Try the one on the control centre sessions tab? After selecting on, View it, then close the view, and click commit. You need to logout and login for it to take effect.

Yeah, BobC, that is exactly what I have done but no change occurred to the login screen wallpaper.

To make it work here on antiX19 I edited the /etc/slim.conf file as root
It was missing a line
current_theme antiX

# current theme, use comma separated list to specify a set to 
# randomly choose from
#current_theme 	BlueLines
#current_theme 	BlueLinesLight
#current_theme 	antiXIce
#current_theme 	DarkCity
#current_theme 	PrettyPink
#current_theme 	SunnyDay
current_theme   antiX
