#end of kdmrc file
I have added this line:
Theme=~/opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/themes/ThisSpring
and it still doesn`t work.the kdm it isn`t change my default theme.
I am using slackware 10.1 with kde 3.3
Could somebody help me pls?
And where should i add this line?i added in al sections
Theme=~/opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/themes/ThisSpring
UseTheme=true, should be set and the path to your new theme should be something like Theme=/opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/themes/ThisSpring instead of Theme=~/opt/kde/share/apps/kdm/themes/ThisSpring.
i wrote UseTheme=true
and the path to my theme : Theme=-/opt/kde/share/apps/.kdm/themes
It isn`t work
the system is starting with a theme from rhis directory /usr/share/gdm/theme/circles but i didn`t find this path in my config file.i have put another theme in that directory ( circles ) and the theme have changed.
but i don`t understand what should i add instead of usertheme and theme=/... in my config file to use my path
anyway thanks to all for support
edit the file /etc/rc.d/rc.4 and comment out the stuff about gdm, so it loads kdm, then to use themes go here http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=22120. This is a KDM manager, much easier. You can find it in kcontrol under system admin.

The diagnostics is:
/opt/kde/lib/kde3/kcm_kdmtheme.so: undefined symbol: _ZN9KListView18setShadeSortColumnEb
Possible reasons:
An error occurred during your last KDE upgrade leaving an orphaned control module
You have old third party modules lying around.
Check these points carefully and try to remove the module mentioned in the error message. If this fails, consider contacting your distributor or packager.
