I wish to understand the cause of the error. Because when I tried to use the KDM theme,the error is "The greeter theme is corrupt. The theme does not contain definition for username/password entry element."
I wish to use the same graphics of the KDM theme, and not the loginproject.

Is the error refer to the username/password in the smegmata.xml, please?

thank you in advance,
lynx

that's because kdm and gdm work different.

kdm uses:

<item type="rect">
<normal color="#ffff00" alpha="0.0"/>
<pos anchor="w" x="150" y="50%" width="90" height="160"/>

<!-- username-label -->
<item type="label">
<pos anchor="ne" x="90%" y="35%"/>
<normal color="#ffffff" font="Sans 11"/>
<stock type="username-label"/>
</item>

<!-- password-label -->
<item type="label">
<pos anchor="ne" x="90%" y="55%"/>
<normal color="#ffffff" font="Sans 11"/>
<stock type="password-label"/>
</item>
</item>

<item type="rect">
<normal color="#00ffff" alpha="0.0"/>
<pos anchor="w" x="240" y="50%" width="170" height="160"/>

<!-- username-entry -->
<item type="entry" id="user-entry">
<pos anchor="n" x="45%" y="35%" height="24" width="150"/>
</item>

<!-- password-entry -->
<item type="entry" id="pw-entry">
<pos anchor="n" x="45%" y="55%" height="24" width="150"/>
</item>
</item>

gdm uses:

<!-- username/password label & entry container -->
<item type="rect">
<pos anchor="n" x="50%" y="325" height="box" width="box"/>
<box orientation="horizontal" spacing="10" expand="true">

<!-- username/password label -->
<item type="label" id="pam-prompt">
<pos x="0"/>
<normal color="#ffffff" font="Sans Bold 11"/>
<stock type="username-label"/>
</item>

<!-- username/password entry -->
<item type="entry" id="user-pw-entry">
<normal color="#000000" font="Sans Bold 11"/>
<pos width="100" height="20"/>
</item>
</box>
</item>

First of all, many thanks for your great job.
Tomorrow I'll install this great theme.
I want to learn more about this theme modification, so if it possible you could help me to modify this theme, because I'm a brand new one linux user....

thanks a lot,
lynx

tanks. This is my first GDM Theme, so I'll have to learn, too. Tell me what you want to know and I'll try to help you.

man..

i dont want to tell you what "smegma" means in my language.. good that not many people understand it ,-)

I don't know what it means, but that was the name of the KDM Version.
