As is explained there, lightDM needs to be able to read your desktop background image file to set it as lockscreen bg. If endeavour doesn’t use this option in variety as default config, then they probably have their own script that copies over images to such a public location. Or maybe they take a different approach and provide lightdm access to the required folders. You can ask them in their forums about this.
It’s probably just a coincidence - an initial match.
Once the user background is changed - it will no longer be reflected in the login screen.
I know - because I have endeavour here - and I changed the background - and it wasn’t the same in the login screen … until I told it to do so.
They have no special magic - they did … nothing
as far as this is concerned
not a coincidence. login screen keeps updating when user wallpaper does in variety.
endeavouros forum don’t know why as they’ve not changed anything. they think it must be Variety, but if that was the case it would work in Manjaro too which it doesn’t.
No solution found how to make Manjaro wallpaper change with variety wallpaper, using either lightdm or variety settings.
there is a setting in Variety
5th tab - Customize
where this can be set
as @audialche mentioned
There is also a similar setting in Xfce - not sure if this would work with Variety.
I just checked (fresh installation of EndeavourOS).
Without changing or adapting anything - just the default Xfce in EndeavourOS
and default Variety
this is not true.
strange indeed
As I said - I just installed the most recent EndeavourOS Xfce, updated it to make it current, installed variety
and the result was as I said.
