Change login screen

[rathod.nikhil@gmail.com]

Hi guys,
I've been using ubuntu for about almost two months. Some time back read an article on popularity of KDE so decided to give it a try.

Application wise it seems more rich then gnome, but is there any way of changing the default login screen and icons.

Re: Change login screen

Did you load KDE over Gnome or was it a fresh install?

Re: Change login screen

It is a fresh Kubuntu installation and also no dual boot.

If you Alt-F2 for a run command and type kdesu kcontrol, you will get all the various kde configs. You should be able to select you kdm login screen there.

Re: Change login screen

Got it thanks, but it is more of tweaking the login screen. can't we completely change the login screen, the way we can do in gnome using gnome art.

Re: Change login screen

Here you can find KDM themes:
http://kde-look.org/

I'm using this for Dapper/Feisty:
Kubuntu-Volutes
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php...?content=57907

Description:
A KDM theme for Kubuntu users, made from scratch with the GIMP.

And matching splash screen:
Kubuntu-Volutes
http://kde-look.org/content/show.php...?content=57909

Description:
The KDE splash screen (for the Moodin engine) that matches the KDM theme

can't we completely change the login screen, the way we can do in gnome using gnome art.

I haven't tried gnome art but there is:
kdmtheme

theme manager for KDM

kdmtheme is a theme manager for KDM. It provides a KDE Control Module (KCM) that allows you to easily install, remove and change your KDM themes.
