Installed slick-greeter (for lightdm) from repos.

(Info in link below)
https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter#configuration


But after several vain attempts to configure it. Nothing 'sticks'.  I get default black background, theme, fonts, et.

I tired.
(reboot after each change.)

1.  Creating  /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf file.  (did not work)
2.  Edited the default /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-slick-greeter.conf (did not work)
3.  Use dconf-editor to change defaults (did not work)

conf.files I created

This would be really a nice addition if we can get it to work. All my 'google' searching has been nil. :(

Correction>

(1.  Creating  /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf file.  )

Is typo. 

It is /usr/share/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf
