Ubuntu Log-in Screen

Though its pretty unique and a refreshing and welcome change, but Ubuntu also has some scope for improvement in a few areas ... I'll try to guide you all through to twitch and tune your Ubuntu desktops (safely) and give you pleasure-to-work experience out of it ...

Now, I seriously was starting to get bored of the same old peach coloured LogIn everytime I used to boot with Ubuntu ... A little bit of study revealed that the GDM , Desktop Services Manager in Ubuntu is theme-able ... Customized theme packages are just an update away ... :)

1. Go to the terminal and key in : 
sudo apt-get install gdm-themes

2. After the package is installed , go to System->Administration->LogIn Window ...

3. Navigate to the "Local" tab and check the theme you would like to use ...


Enjoy ... :D ...
Have fun ....
