Hi,
I have downloaded several themes from Gnome-looks.org for GDM,
but I
can't find any documentation on the net for installing the theme (not
just the background picture) that actually works for F24. I've found
lots of documentation for updating the default background, but none of
that documentation is valid on my system as either the specified
picture
file doesn't exist in the directory specified or the specified
directory
doesn't exist. The files I've downloaded are tar.gz files which
Gnome-tweak won't accept as being Gnome-shell theme files (I've found
lots of doco on the net when searching for updating GDM themes that
talk
about configuring Gnome Shell).
Does anyone have any ideas on where I need to put the extracted
directories and how I tell GDM which of those themes to use?
regards,
Steve

Hi Steve,
I believe you just need to dump them into "/usr/share/themes/" if
you want everyone on the system to have access. Otherwise it should
just be "~/.themes/" or "~/.local/share/themes/"
I just put the one I use into "/usr/share/themes/" since I don't
usually install things for single users. After that you need to fire
up gnome-tweak-tool (if it was already open, close and re-open it) and
select your new theme from the various drop downs in the Appearance
tab.
Thanks Bryon, I've extracted the files to their directories and copied
them into /usr/share/themes, but none of the drop downs in the
Appearance tab in Gnome-tweak-tool show any of the new themes. Is
/usr/share/themes to location for GDM themes?
I've seen some doco on the net for installing GDM themes in Fedora that
talk about having to update config files but I wasn't able to find the
documented config files on my system. Is modifying config files the only
way to update GDM themes, and if so which files do I need to update?
regards,
Steve
Cheers,
Bryon

What theme are you trying to install? If you could provide the link to
where you got it from that would be helpful. I'll see if I can get it
to work. Like I said before, I use a theme with an installer so it's
possible I have the method incorrect.
Thanks Bryon, the themes I'm trying to use are anotherworld_GDM,
ClawGDMCorp, CrispClearMorningwithUserList and dmintrepid which I
downloaded from the GDM Themes section of Gnome-Look.org.
regards,
Steve

Yeah, Sam was correct in that I had this confused for GTK themes. I
apologize for leading you incorrectly. I cannot find that
anotherworld_GDM and the other two don't look to have been updated in
nearly a decade on gnome-look.org. I believe it's by design that you
aren't able to modify the login screen. I haven't tested it, but the
Arch Wiki has a method for changing the GDM greeter at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GDM
It could be worth a shot, and if you want it looks like you could script
it (they did some of it for you already). There's also an installer for
a graphical utility, but the Fedora version hasn't been updated past F22
or Gnome 3.16. Beyond this I'm not sure.
