A "dpkg -L mintwelcome" will give you basic information about where the files from the mintwelcome (aka Welcome Screen) are installed;

Code: Select all

/.
/etc
/etc/xdg
/etc/xdg/autostart
/etc/xdg/autostart/mintwelcome.desktop
/usr
/usr/share
/usr/share/doc

/usr/share/doc/mintwelcome/changelog.gz
/usr/share/doc/mintwelcome/copyright
/usr/share/applications
/usr/share/applications/mintWelcome.desktop
/usr/lib

That information can also be view in Synaptic if you prefer.

You can browse the source code also online (and fork it to make your changes): https://github.com/linuxmint/mintwelcome.
