you can edit file /usr/share/backgrounds/verne/default/verne.xml change background image path.

bodhi.zazen posted about the gdm3setup app, but here's the git repo for gdm3setup and here's the direct link for the Fedora rpm, by the same author.
Thank you for adding that link ryan. I saw the git repo but have not tried it.
Thanks SoumyaC
I found I had to prefix my commands with "env XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/gdm" instead of "GSETTINGS_BACKEND=dconf"
So, for example:
# su -
# su - gdm -s /bin/bash
-bash-4.2$ `dbus-launch | sed "s/^/export /"`
-bash-4.2$ env XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/gdm gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.background
org.gnome.desktop.background color-shading-type 'solid'
org.gnome.desktop.background draw-background true
org.gnome.desktop.background picture-opacity 100
org.gnome.desktop.background picture-options 'zoom'
org.gnome.desktop.background picture-uri ''
org.gnome.desktop.background primary-color ''
org.gnome.desktop.background secondary-color ''
org.gnome.desktop.background show-desktop-icons false
-bash-4.2$
Okay, so I got the gdm3setup rpm installed and I have access to the py files from it. As a result, I have changed the font, cursor theme and background image, but I'd also like to change the shell theme. However, the theme that I have installed for my account does not appear as an option to change to (I am not shocked by this, but I would like to change it).
Any thoughts or suggestions?
Hi, I tried both the current fedora rpm listed from the git repo homepage, https://github.com/Nano77/various/blob/master/rpm/gdm3setup-20111224-1.noarch.rpm - and software install(PackageKit?) via nautilus said it was invalid package file. then i tried git cloning and following the instructions listed in the webup8 link and the terminal i called gdm3setup.py from just closed with no error messages. So I am not sure what it is I am doing wrong since both worked for others. Am going to try the archlinux gdm user way now. thanks for any help!
NOW MY LOGIN SCREEN IT'S JUST BLUE HOW I CAN I RESTORE THE ORIGINAL ONE THE VERNE LOGIN SCREEN

I was tried this bodhi.zazen second link for GDM but in source I tried rpm way and this is works.
On fc17 I use the following:
Then you can select the background like you do this for your desktop background. Note that the gdm user must have a read permissions to your background file.
thank you. i just copy an image from my picture folder to /usr/share/backgrounds/ and it works.
