Public bug reported:
I'm trying to disable the overlay grid (the dots over the background) at
the login screen. I've read that there is a new option for this:
- Open /etc/lightdm/unity-greeter.conf as an administrator
- Change "draw-grid=true" to "draw-grid=false"
- Save the file.
I followed these steps, but when switching to another user at the login
screen, the grid still shows. I tried stopping and re-running lightdm
service ("sudo service lightdm stop && sudo service lightdm start"),
thinking the unity-greeter.conf has the be re-read for the new setting
to be applied, but no difference. A system reboot neither: the login
screen stil show the overlay grid.
I also found there is a GSettings key, "com.canonical.unity-greeter
draw-grid", which defaults to "true". I'm not sure what it is supposed
to do, as the GSetting base can be edited as a non-admin user. Does this
setting affects all users? or only one user? (I.e. if I set this key to
"false", will it affect only my backgroud at the login screen [my
background won't have the grid over it, but all other users would have
it]?)
