how to change the gnome login screen theme?

I wonder how one can change the gnome login screen theme in 10.04? it used to be in System -> Administration -> Login Screen, but now this window only allows for very minimal settings, and nothing related to the appearance / theme of the login screen.

the default pinkish style in 10.04 is extremely ugly :(

You can install the Ubuntu Tweak tool, search for it in the Synaptic Package manager this lets you change the background and Logo at least, But I too would like to know how to be able to do full changes like before.

You can't. The new GDM is not themable except for what GTK allows, and the xroot background.

Bummer at least I can change the background ^_^

hm, what is this brainstorm thing? :) It seems I have to generate yet-another user account to log in & vote? :)

I read your entry, and at first the description seems overly vague - actually I wouldn't be able able to tell if this is related to customizing the login screen at first read..

The login screen theme also wasn't to my taste so I changed it following the instructions here: http://www.ubuntugeek.com/how-do-you-change-the-boot-splash-screen-image-for-10-04-lucid-lynx.html. Did the trick!
