The user login promt is presented to the user by a display manager (DM). The behavior and appeareance of the login prompt can be configured by adjusting the display manager's settings.

LightDM

Trisquel 7 uses LightDM as its display manager. Users can override this configuration by adding their own configuration file to /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/. If you don't have this folder, create it. 

  sudo mkdir -p /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d
Your own configuration file should begin with a number 50. 
  sudo touch /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-myconfig.conf
