@Rusho Klick on Applications=> Ubuntu Software Center => Search for Gnome Art and you wil find the Art Manager.

After you install this you can download and install the themes from the gnome art website.

Use the gdm2setup configuration ppa.
Gnome no longer uses that version of gdm and ubuntu doesnt either both now use gdm2 which doesnt have as much configuration options as gdm1 but you with the configuration tool you can edit and add themes to gdm.

This option is removed by default in the 10.4 LTS (Lucid Lynx) release.

System > Administration > Login Screen
no longer has *any* tabs. It is strictly a long-level tool and the only configurable lipstick-on-a-chicken type option is to play the (overly loud) login screen bongo sound or not.

I am very disappoint.

The most promising thing on the horizon is here:

I am very surprised that Ubuntu’s GDM2 implementation took such a huge step backwards.

This helped me with 9.1. After install system/administrator includes also Login screen (GDM2 Setup).

Same issue, actually i can’t install any new theme (GDM or other).
I extract the files on my desktop but no way to make it work.
I installed emerald but doesn’t help.
I made the control center appear but nothing useful inside…..
what am i missing?

I just worked out how to do this in 9.10. It is easier than described here.

System > Preferences > Appearance > Theme

Then choose install and find where you downloaded your theme. Then click ok.

Pretty simple. Hope that helps R
