Greetings,

You can change the default theme for gdm? I downloaded one of gnome-looks but not how to apply. Using opensuse 11.2.

Thank you.

Hi
No, but you can tweak manually;

Hello,

I followed these instructions but the only thing that has got to change is the background. I looked at the folders of the other issues already installed and have a common structure other than the theme you downloaded from gnome-looks.

Hi
So you solved your issue? If not what theme did you download?

Hello jony127,

I don’t use GNOME so some information could be incorrect.

You can change the default theme for gdm?
Try running this command as root:

gdmsetup

Click a add button and navigate to your theme.
Now you can choose the theme and apply it.

Good luck!:wink:

Hello malcolmlewis,

Hi
That application was dropped some releases ago… :wink:
Sorry, I didn’t know that.

the theme I’m testing is Arc-Colors GDM-Walls
Looking at the site of that theme they say you can install this theme with this command:

make install

Don’t forget to run this as root.

So extract the archief.
Go into the folder “arc-colors-2.7”.
And run the command.

I couldn’t test it so it may not work.

Good luck!:wink:

Nothing that does not work, and leave the subject.

One question why gnome took the gdmsetup?
