Help theming the lock screen in Ubuntu 10.10

**btbgeek** · February 2nd, 2011

I have a problem theming the lockscreen. I want it to look awesome, so I downloaded a NSA theme from Gnome-look.org. Next I converted the included .glade to .ui. Then I copied the folder with the images, and the .GTKRC file and the .UI file to /usr/share/gnome-screensaver/. Finally, I opened gconf-editor and changed apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_dialog_theme from 'default' to 'nsa' . now if I lock I get a black screen and have to reboot. Any ideas?

I REALLY need help with this...

Using ubuntu 10.10

If this is the theme you installed it is for 10.04 and would explain why it doesn't work.http://gnome-look.org/content/show.p...content=125033

The best person to contact would be the theme creator . (coments at Gnome Look) It looks like the person made it very clear that the theme was for 10.04 and would know best as to weather it could be made to work on 10.10 and how.

Thanks.
I solved my problem!
I downloaded an old version.
The one you gave the link to works fine. The one I had was not the one to which you referred me.

Now I have a rockin cool lock screen!

I fixed all...
