GDM - Theme Problem

Hi,

I found a theme that seams nice :
http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter/543.php

Then, I tried this one :
http://art.gnome.org/themes/gdm_greeter/533.php

But, I was not able to use them... Gdm always start with the default theme...

I tried to uncompress the files under /usr/share/gdm/themes/ or to use gdmconfig...

But, nothing...

I wanted to find a gdm theme with face browser...

Thanks

GDM config > Graphical greeter is on right?
And the theme is installed correctly/you can choose it?

Hmm...

Yes, I can choose it...

I see it in the preview area...

And Graphical greeter is on...

Both of those themes require GDM 2.4.4.0, which isn't out in portage yet. Some more details on why are in this bug report.
Hope that helps.

An ebuild for GDM-2.4.4.4 is available in BMG gnome. It requires a little tweaking of your sessions files, but other than that, isn't a big problem to upgrade.

Nice to know that, thanks for the link! You should set it sticky somewhere.
