Wiki : Building a MDM Theme From GDM 2.20 Theme

MDM is forked from GDM 2.20 so it is themeable. We can use any GDM 2.20 theme by simply editing a GDM theme. Here are the steps to build a MDM theme from GDM 2.20 theme :

1. Extract a GDM theme

2. Open with your favorite text editor the GdmGreeterTheme.desktop

3. Change the line :

    [GdmGreeterTheme] 

    into this

    [MdmGreeterTheme]

4. Save as MdmGreeterTheme.desktop and delete the GdmGreeter.desktop

5. Simply copy to /usr/share/mdm/themes or compress it as .tar.gz

    if we want to share it :)
