Having a problem trying to change the login screen, When I download a theme archive, for example http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/ ... ent=105866, I get the error message "Not a theme archive - File not a tar.gz or tar archive" when I try to add it to the theme options in Preferences -> Login Window.
Any suggestions? It definitely is a tar.gz archive, and I've tried several different ones and all give the same error. I read that GDM themes need to be changed to MDM themes, so I done that but that never helped so I guess that wasn't the issue... or rather, that would have been the next issue after this one
Cheers in advance
Running Maya with Cinnamon and an AMD 64 processor, not sure if that's relevant.

Yup that worked. I'm glad you chose to give me that even though I had said I had already converted it to MDM, lol, since evidently I had not
Thanks a lot

Does someone know how to change the background-image for the login screen?
I found a howto for Mint 11 here: http://superuser.com/questions/334767/h ... -in-screen :
But I can't find a gdm folder in Mint13 and the mdm has no .cache-Folder.
