Images

Change user profile icon

Place a jpeg or png image in the /var/lib/AccountsService/users/ directory with the name of the user I want the icon to apply to. For example, if I have an image avatar.png that I want to apply for the user bill, I will move the file to /var/lib/AccountsService/users/bill. bill is a file in the /var/lib/AccountsService/users/ directory.

Change background image

To change the image used by the image background engine, place the image in a directory readable by everyone (chmod -R 755). I suggest within /var/lib/AccountsService/. Then change the Image setting from within the theme's settings page to the new image's location.

Change random image background directory

The random image background engine randomly selects an image from the supplied directory. To change the directory used by the engine, first make sure the directory is readable by everyone (chmod -R 755). I suggest creating a directory within /var/lib/AccountsService/. Then change the Image Directory setting from within the theme's settings page to the new directory.
