Can't Change KDM wallpaper/background [Solved'ish]

Hi, any suggestions welcome.

I am using KDE4.3

I want to change the blue background with bubbles to just black, I have tried all settings in systemsettings both as root and as user with no change.

As a last resort I have even changed every blue bubble (oxygen air) image in /usr/* that I can find to black, only to find I still have blue bubbles on login/splash.

I have also tried both Ksplash and Kdm generators, but neither changes wallpaper.

please help me

Tim

There are a couple of arch linux based kdm themes. What happens if you try one of those?

Good ideas do not need lots of lies told about them in order to gain public acceptance.

no change

btw, KDM is set to auto log me in, so i don't even see the login page, just a splash.

EDIT

Have just tried ksplash-oxyarch from the AUR, works perfectly giving me a black splash background.

It needed kde-meta-kdebase that was not installed before, I have no idear if this was affecting my ability to change the background.

Anyway...solved'ish
