Changing the user picture in Ubuntu menu

rated 0 times [ 0] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1338 / 2 Years ago, mon, april 18, 2022, 10:36:21

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04.
I want to change the user picture in the 'fast user switching menu'.

I've followed this thread and managed to change the picture on the log-on screen by changing ~/.face.

However, when I click the cogwheel in the top right of the screen, a menu drops down which includes my username and old picture. Is there a way to change this smaller menu picture?

The user picture in the quick switch menu is the same as the picture linked with the user account. So if you go to your account settings and change the picture for your account there, it will update in the quick switch menu aswell. (might require a logout or restart to actually update the picture shown)
