Login Window - how to customise appearance and items ?

Hello,

I know how :

  • to customise how the list of users appears
  • to display / not display the buttons at the bottom at the window
  • display / not display the input method (in the collection of top right corner items)


I do not know how :

  • to change the window backdrop
  • to change the format of the day/time display (in the collection of top right corner items)


Does anyone know a way ?


Thanks in advance.

There are no user preferences for changing the pre-boot background before you select your user account.


From >System Preferences>User and Groups you have some option as to how it presents login:
