IRIX 6.5 Login screen background?

IRIX 6.5 Login screen background?
Anyone know how to change the color behind the login screen on Irix 6.5? Currently mine is sort of an ugly crosshatch gray, it's not too pretty and I'd like to make it the blue here below that I used to have before I inadvertently changed something.

Does the login window itself still look like the above or is it a boring flat affair with "Welcome to ..." in blue and a "Login: / Password: " entry underneath?

In that case you probably disabled visuallogin, and need to do (as root):

Code:
chkconfig visuallogin on

FWIW: If you use XDMCP to log in from another system it always presents the 'boring' login screen. That's normal.
