simple-archer GDM theme

Hi.

I'm presenting this GDM theme, based on arch-gRapHitTy by spokykid (http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=39888)

Features the new Arch logo, in gray background, quite simple
Screenshot

simple-archer normal
simple-archer widescreen

Hope you like it

PS: If you downloaded the theme before the first 8 views, you might need to download it again, It had a problem which didn't allow you to add the theme, that was fixed already

Only thing I'd change is to make the text at the bottom darker. Other than that, it's great.

A dark theme with new logo would be nice.

Re: simple-archer GDM theme

Hi all!  I also thank you for the great new logo gdm theme.  For anyone, like Reasons, who would like the fonts darker,  you just need to edit the simple-archer.xml file in /usr/share/gdm/themes/simple-archer/simple-archer.xml with your favorite text editor as root (I used midnight commander).  I chose to replace the white fonts with blue, like the logo, so you just change the lines with  <normal font="Sans 10" color="#fffff"/> to <normal font="Sans 10" color="#0000ff"/>.  If you want a different color just google for hex color codes as there are lots of sites with color charts and codes.  It's a bit of fiddling since there are several entries for the different button fonts but it only takes a few minutes since you're just changing four f's to zeros, if you like the blue color.  Now when you move the mouse over the action buttons the font changes from blue to white.
