KDM: Really Ugly [Solved]

Is there any way for me to configure kdm to look nice in the least bit? I tried the stuff in the kontrol panel, but it barely has any options except for fonts and a background. How can I make kdm look like the kdm in suse 10, for example?

I want to make kdm look nice is what. Basically, a way to implement thmes. For example, when I go to kde-look.org and see the themes available, I d/l them, but then have no idea how to use them. So, a theme manager of sorts, I guess.

There's some sort of theme engine thing for it which you have to install to use the more funky themes. I don't know any more details.

Search for a file called kdmrc and change UseTheme=false to UseTheme=true. To install your own themes easily, you need to install an app called kdmtheme then go to Kcontrol -> System Administration -> Kdmtheme (or Login Manager).
