[Solved]LXDM - Greeter problem.

Just installed LXDM, but I have a problem with it.
Here's how it should look: http://wiki.lxde.org/en/images/3/31/LXDM.png

Just take a look at the login box, it's pretty wide. Mine is half that size (in width), and the text is spread on multiple lines.

I've tried the archlinux theme for LXDM from the AUR, but instead of looking like this: http://allanmcrae.com/images/lxdm-theme-preview.png
The login prompt is exactly the same with the first/default one in LXDM.

It's really ugly and I'd like to know if it's possible to make it a bit wider.

Here's my lxdm.conf

[base]
## uncomment and set autologin username to enable autologin
# autologin=dgod

## uncomment and set timeout to enable timeout autologin,
## the value should >=5
# timeout=10

## default session or desktop used when no systemwide config
#session=/usr/bin/startxfce4
##--with-ck-launch

## uncomment and set to set numlock on your keyboard
# numlock=0

## set this if you don't want to put xauth file at ~/.Xauthority
# xauth_path=/tmp

## greeter used to welcome the user
greeter=/usr/lib/lxdm/lxdm-greeter-gtk


[server]
## arg used to start xserver, not fully function
# arg=/usr/bin/X -background vt1

[display]
## gtk theme used by greeter
gtk_theme=Clearlooks

## background of the greeter
#bg=/usr/share/backgrounds/xfce/xfce-blue.jpg
bg=/usr/share/lxdm/themes/Archlinux/background.png

## if show bottom pane
bottom_pane=1

## if show language select control
lang=1

## if show keyboard layout select control
keyboard=0

## the theme of greeter
theme=Archlinux

[input]

[userlist]
## if disable the user list control at greeter
disable=0

## whitelist user
white=

## blacklist user
black=

Thanks

Re: [Solved]LXDM - Greeter problem.

Solved.

I couldn't make it wider, but I've managed to change make it like in the 2nd image.

Here's how you do it. Open /etc/lxdm/lxdm.conf in a text editor, scroll down until you find [userlist], change the value to 1.
