I have been very pleased with LMDE so far but I was wondering if it is possible to change the theme on the gdm3 login (e.g. background, gtk theme and icons). I originally tried the Ubuntu method of:
Code: Select all
sudo cp /usr/share/applications/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow
Code: Select all
sudo unlink /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gnome-appearance-properties.desktop
I then tried editing /etc/gdm3/greeter.conf-defaults and then running:
Code: Select all
sudo dpkg-reconfigure gdm3
However, after a restart it is back to the default green LMDE gdm3 theme. I have tried it a couple of times and each time the /etc/gdm3/greeter.conf-defaults file gets overwritten by the default. Is there anyway I can stop this from happening to make my changes permanent?
Thank you in advance.
