    Ricardo,

    Once you have changed your background color, you may find configuring
    the actual XDM login window useful. The XDM man page [1] covers a
    number of X resources that will configure how the various widgets in the
    login window are drawn. I believe XDM in Debian
    reads /etc/X11/xdm/Xresources. Also, this project [2] covers some
    details of configuring a pretty XDM.
