What do I need to edit?

[exploder]

I want to remove the word "Linux" from this GDM theme to improve it. What part of the file do I need to edit to do this?

This is the GDM theme.

http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Ubuntu-Orange+%28modified%29?content=74917

Here is the file.

I have looked at this file again and again but can not find where I need to make the change to remove this. Does anyone know how I can edit this?

It seams like it could be part of the actual graphical files

[kostkon]

The word Linux seems to be the hostname of the computer. Have you tested this GDM theme? Does it print Linux in the middle of the screen?

[exploder]

Hi! Thanks for the responces.

It is not part of the graphic. This happens with every GDM theme I make using this as a templet.

The hostname of the computer is not what is displaying.

Yes, I have tested the GDM theme and am unable to figure out what makes the word Linux appear.

[Half-Left]

Can you give more info on where and when the text "Linux" appears?

[exploder]

The text appears when the GDM theme first comes up on the screen. The text goes away after I type in a user name and hit enter.

Only thing I can see is this,

<item type="rect" id="pam-error">
<pos anchor="c" x="50%" y="35%" width="box" height="box"/>
<box orientation="vertical" min-width="500" xpadding="10" ypadding="5" spacing="0">
<item type="label" id="pam-error">
<normal color="#eeeeee" font="Sans 12"/>
<pos x="50%" anchor="n"/>
<text>%s</text>
</item>
</box>
</item>

The host name it usually a command like that not text, obviously "linux" is not actual text in the gdm file.

[Arthur Archnix]

If you do uname -s in a terminal you'll see that it prints out "Linux".

So you probably want to delete that %s, just leave it blank. Or you could type "Type user name here" if you wanted the box to show something by default at startup.
