Hi there guys,

I have Open SuSE 10 with KDE 3.5.1 installed on my laptop. While generally fiddling around with the control centre I found I could change my splash screen to something else (downloaded from kde-look.org, where else?) However the login screen continues to defiantly stare at me before the new splash screen takes over. Can somebody out there show me as to hw can I change this login screen (where i select the user and enter the password) so that it blends in with the splash screen (where the progress of KDE loading is displayed). Also I was wondering if there was a way in which I can write (make ) my own Login screens and splash screens. I am a newbie so I'll be grateful if step by step instructions are rendered. (In return I can give step by step instructions on how to make an Intercontinental Ballistic Missile Armed with Multiple entry Thermo-nuclear warheads; hell even Osama bin laden came to me but since he wasn't a Linux user I didnt help him...)

Thx in advance
Rex

You can install an app called kdmtheme which will show up in the system section of the kde control center. This will enable you to change, install and delete kdm themes. You can also get new themes from kde-look.org. As for how you can make your own theme, you can use other peoples themes as templates or ask at kde-artists.org.
