How to change login-window theme

Post by Prooz »

From:
http://art.gnome.org/themes

You can choose to login-window from there, but how do I install it? I know that you can install themes through the control center, but that's only for window borders.

First I must say it's an awesome program, I'll definitely use it for more stuff in the future but...
It can only change the background and the "puter icon". You can do that and more with this command:

Code: Select all

sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow
There you can use a ordinary theme for the whole window.

Check out this site http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter

I want to be able to enable to one of those. Or at least be able to do more with the screen.
