Hey folks. I'm trying to select a new GDM from Gnome-Look, but I'm not finding anything really satisfying. I'd like to design my own, but I haven't the foggiest how to go about it. Any thoughts? Do I need a special client for it? Thanks for any help.

The easiest way to start is to download a theme from Gnome-Look, and then extract it and look at the content. You will find one xml file which describes where everything is placed on the screen, and one other file which describes the author of the theme, the name of the screenshot file and other stuff.

Good luck making your own theme!
