GDM login screen.

Hi, is there anyway to change the login screen  for gnome? i saw some login themes at gnome-art i would like to try. there doesn't seem to be any easy way to add them

i can change the gdm wallpaper with some cumbersome shell script nonsense, but not the overall theme.

i am using
gnome 2.30.2-1
gdm  2.30.5-1

I believe as of GNOME 2.28, you can't change the GDM theme like you used to do before. You can change the GTK theme it uses though, see this wiki article.

Re: GDM login screen.

If you don't feel like installing an app for this, it's actually quite simple.

I use Method 1.   Paste the first command in a terminal, log out and change the theme, log in and paste the second command in the terminal.

Re: GDM login screen.

I've upgraded to Gnome 2.32, but I use gdm 2.20.10-2 without any problem.
