KDM Login Theme - Clean
I wanted to create a clean theme that was attractive and simple, almost a kind of 'default install' theme. There are three colours in the archive and varying sreen sizes, Enjoy
... Oh, and don't forget to vote good if you like it :)
If people do like it I will find some more backgrounds and there's a bit of cleaning up to be done here and there. Massive thanks to all the original artists
Thank you,
Simon
*Credits must go to:
Andrew Enyart for the original 'Swirl' SVG.
Hugo Alves Lobo for his 'Infinity' theme that I used as a starting base.
Eugene T for the original 'Drops on a blade' SVG.
Spencer Cutting for the original 'Coffee' SVG.
The 'Oxygen' team for the two icons.
And a HUGE thank you to Tristan Ferroir for hosting this theme on his website :)
Installation instructions
(Optional) Install the 'DejaVu' font set. I was going to include the fonts but wasn't sure of the License.
1. Download the 'Clean' KDM theme
2. Extract the archive and copy the separate folders to '/usr/kde/YOURVERSION/share/apps/kdm/themes'
3. Edit your '/usr/kde/3.5/share/config/kdm/kdmrc' file so it contains the line 'UseTheme=true' then state the theme you would like to use with the line 'Theme=/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/kdm/themes/Clean_Toffee' for example.
That's it! You can, if you like...
4. Make sure you are using the most appropriate image size by editing the fifth line in the 'KDEmod-kdm-userlist.xml' file. Each theme folder has this file and a selection of images
5. Set the login background to be the same as the KDM theme background so it doesn't change to many time during logging on. Go to the KDE Control Center > System Administration > Login Manager, click 'Administrator Mode' and set the Background to the same one you set in your 'KDEmod-kdm-userlist.xml' file.
6. Change the default user login icon. In each theme folder there are some choices, rename the one you want to use 'default1.png' and copy it over the one in your '/usr/kde/3.5/share/apps/kdm/pics/users' folder.

Theme not usable with authentication method 'username + Password (classic)'
Then I get the Clean_Swirl background image and the overlay with the semi-transparent box, but nothing else, except a Username and Password entry at the top left corner.

I would like a little help though. I'm using your Clean_Swirl theme and I want to use the Lineart.svgz graphic in place of your Clean_Swirl.png and I'm not getting it to work!
I've already tried replacing your Clean_Swirl.png file in the .xml file with the Lineart.svgz and that doesn't work.

One might suggest you remove some of the borders, specifically the three edges around username, password and the userlist. As you've likely noticed, the move towards removing lines in KDE is proceeding at pace, and well... just a hint, really :)

It would be good to have some attractive, 'generic' themes bundled with KDM. It would give people the option to choose between them and the distro specific ones. There are situations where no 'advertising' on the login screen is better.
So how do we put it forward?
