How do I change the theme for GDM in SL6?
Not sure, it has been changed in Fedora 12/13 and SL6 uses the same way.
If you want to change the background of the login screen, change the
file "default.xml" in "/usr/share/backgrounds/"; there is a file
"tuv.xml" which is .... .
The rewritten GDM gets its configuration from gconf [1], so if you want
to change any settings you should edit the "gdm" user's gconf settings.
For instance, if I wanted to disable the login screen's restart
buttons I would run this:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/var/lib/gdm/.gconf
-s /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_restart_buttons --type bool false
Rather than changing the XML files in /usr/share/backgrounds to change
the login screen's background you can likewise edit another gconf setting:
gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/var/lib/gdm/.gconf
-s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename --type string
/path/to/your/preferred/background
The commands above are both from memory, so make sure to double-check
them before trying them. ;-)
