The GDM themes are in /usr/share/gdm/themes. They are defined by an XML file that you will find in that directory. You can modify the XML file to customize the theme the way you describe. Might be best to copy the theme files into a new directory /usr/share/gdm/themes/MyTheme or something, and then set your theme to this so it doesn't get overwritten on upgrade. Docs for editing the theme files is here: http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.20/thememanual.html.en > Also I noticed that with the gnome dialog box, the screen never > blanks, either that or the idle timeout is really long. By default there is no screen saver in GDM. If your monitor supports power saving, the monitor will go into powersave mode. If you want a screensaver in GDM, I understand some users use the GDM "BackgroundProgram" configuration option to enable this. Might search around on Google to see how this is set up normally. I've never tried it personally. http://library.gnome.org/admin/gdm/2.20/configuration.html.en Brian
