    First: There are no real gdm2 themes, but you can go to the directory /usr/share/images/xsplash there you can change the Wallpaper that is used.
    Or try searching for "xsplash" on gnome-look.org to find image packs for xsplash.
    furthermore there is a way to change the gtk-theme that is used, but i can't tell how this is done, try google

    Hope this helped and was not too late

    yes, it uses gtk+ themes and wallpapers.

    to tweak it, run:
    Code:
    gksu -u gdm dbus-launch gnome-appearance-properties

    Why does this open two accessibility option icons in the systray? And keep one in the systray after I logout/in?
