change GDM theme

Post by trey31357 »

Hello all,

I'm new to Linux Mint, and am loving it. I'm experimenting with the Ubuntu family after a 5 year hiatus from Linux, and am enjoying Mint more than Ubuntu and Kubuntu so far. Anyway, I've set up my desktop in a manner I like, and the only thing left I'd like to change appearance-wise is the login screen. I understand that if I download a "GDM theme" and install it, then I'll achieve the desired effect. I've chosen and downloaded a theme, but do not know how to go about installing it. After Googling the topic, it seems in earlier versions of Mint it was a pretty simple process of finding the Login Window Manager from the Menu, but I can't find it in LM 10. I'm sure I'm overlooking something, could someone point me in the right direction?

Also, if it is a more complex method to install, I'm not afraid to edit files, I just need to know which ones :D

Thanks in advance for your help.

See http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.p ... me#p372576. It is good practice to search the forums before making a post.
[Edit] your original post and add [SOLVED] once your question is resolved.

“The people are my God” stressing the factor determining man’s destiny lies within man not in anything outside man, and thereby defining man as the dominator and remoulder of the world.

But, the solution listed there is really buggy, so I don't recommend you to try it unless you feel adventurous.
