Configuring gdm with lxde

Hi, I have lxde and I am using gdm. Right now gdm is missing a lot of graphics and stuff so I installed a gdm theme from the aur. Unfortantly, lxde doesn't come with any programs that can configure gdm. What do I need to do to apply the gdm theme?

With the new GDM (2.28+) the old themes will no longer work and instead it uses GTK themes.

From what I understated, LXDM isn't stable enough for regular use.

Well, I tried applying a gtk theme with gdm2setup from the aur and it didn't work so....

I personally wouldn't mind it so much if it wasn't missing graphics.

yes, gnome-appearance-properties is not included in lxde.
