Those fonts in the top bar almost look like anti-aliased old school fonts. Very nice. Easy TTF in the interface is why I chose xmonad.

You'll find the package for this theme here. You'll find the package I made for this here. It's big (70Mo) as it includes different wallpapers in several resolutions.

For the original wallpaper, you'll find it here.


Here is another gdm theme package. This one contains a different theme, with the same wallpapers as in the other package. Here is some screenshots :

Very nicely done! Thank you! Excuse my ignorance, but is there a way of using one of these gdm wallpapers as the background to the KDE splashscreen?

I have a ksplash themes package with most of the backgrounds found in my gdm theme package :

Size:	142.7 KB
ID:	19073
Click image for larger version

Name:	Heart.png
Views:	156
Size:	209.7 KB
ID:	19074

Here is the source archive:
ksplash-space-themes-src-1.0.tar.xz (md5: f0f0bfdd5e1c47a73cae9989f46a04c7)


To create a new ksplash theme, I use the theme Default as template :

1. As root, copy the theme Default :

Code:
$ cd /usr/share/apps/ksplash/Themes
$ cp -R Default <My_Theme_Name>
2. In the new theme folder (ie <My_Theme_Name>) :

a. Edit the file Theme.rc, and :

1. In line [Ksplash Theme: Default], replace Default with <My_Theme_Name>.


2. In line Name=Default, replace Default with <My_Theme_Name>

3. Update the entries: Description, Version, Author, and Homepage, as you want.
b. There must be at least one background image named background.png (never tried, but should work with jpg) in a folder whose name is the image's resolution (i.e 1920x1080).

The Default theme has 5 resolutions (ie 1024x768, 1280x1024, 1600x1200, 1920x1080, 1920x1200). If you want to support all these resolutions, you'll need 5 versions of your background. Otherwise, you can delete the folders you don't need.

3. Test the new theme with the command ksplashx. Here you have the opportunity to take a screenshot of the theme (for the preview) using ksnapshot with a delay of 10-15 seconds :

Code:
$ ksnapshot 
(capture mode: full screen ; delay=10-15 seconds)

$ ksplashx /usr/share/apps/ksplash/Theme/<My_Theme_Name> --tester
4. Send the screenshot to gimp, resize it to 400x300 and export it in /tmp/Preview.png

5. As root, change the file Preview.png with the /tmp/Preview.png image :

Code:
$ cp /tmp/Preview.png /usr/share/apps/ksplash/Themes/<My_Theme_Name>
