When I installed the newest EOS a while back it had a different lock screen background than the one below. Never the less, the grid pattern you see in the new background was also in the previous background. I know the grid pattern is a separate image because I see it load first. A split second later the other image loads. I want to remove this grid pattern. Does anyone know how?

It’s configured in the file `/etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf` (it’s not an image):

```auto
[Greeter]
draw-grid=false
```

Thank you. That was the culprit. You also answered the un-asked question which was, where is the lock screen background image located. My hat’s off to you.
