I'm on Debian with XFCE I've already tried modifying /etc/default/grub and /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf The first resulted in nothing (I actually have grub timeout set to 0, so I'm not sure if I only need changing grub's config), the bootsplash was still default The second resulted in black login bg

I think the boot splash is done by a software called Plymouth. At least that used to be the case when I last had a boot splash: https://wiki.debian.org/plymouth
As for the login greeter... That could have a bunch of different reasons. Maybe you have a typo in the config. Maybe the picture has the wrong format. Or the file system permissions are wrong hence it can't be loaded?!

Pretty sure you have to rebuild the grub
update-grubafter editing the config files.There are programs to help like grub-custonizer.
Careful as messing with grub can break your system.

if your grub timeout is set to zero, you're almost never going to see the bootloader screen.

Prolly, but I do see some wallpaper while my computer is booting, and it's not my home screen wallpaper

That's plymouth, not grub

there's likely at least 3: one for the bootloader; one for the display manager; and one for your screen wallpaper.
it's the same w windows
