Had the same problem. What i did: edit /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager and set DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME="openSUSE" DISPLAYMANAGER="kdm4" tried with a logout -> no change set the Theme in System Settings -> worked. I tried with another machine, and it seems to be the only way to get it working - it needed the logout and X-restart. Dont ask me why ... On 09/09/2012 10:07 AM, lynn wrote:

HI
I've notice if you change the login theme via "System Settings"/System Administration/Login Screen, it is never applied. It seems like a redundant configuration item. In the past and it seems now, you have to edit config files to action a change of login screen.

Hi Ian Not even. I've tried editing /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager
Anything you change there is ignored. The old 1990's login screen has returned with that simply awful blue stripe background. Our workers are up in arms and I've today to get it back to something that looks as if it was produced in 2012. lightdm looks like a good workaround. . . Thanks, L x
