Re: [suse-kde] How do I change the kdm background

Use yast system, etc/sysconfig editor. goto Desktop, Display manager, find DISPLAYMANAGER_KDE_THEME and remove "suse" just leave it blank. now you can see the old stlye login, and change the background.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it didn't help. I never would have imagined that this would be so tough. -- Frank Holt University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee I&MT Technical Services Senior Dept. of Technical Solutions Phone : (414) 229-2982 Fax : (414) 229-6389 e-mail: frankh@uwm.edu

If it's not working using yast, you could try editing the file manually. /etc/syscofig/displaymanager find this section, it is where the suse kdm theme is loaded "the blue, full screen login panel SuSE installs" ## Type: string ## Default: SUSE # # Define the theme to be used by kdm. If empty, the traditional login # window is used (which lacks some features) <==================" the old small grey one" # DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME="SUSE" change it to DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME="" that should be it. That is what I had to do anyway. hope that does it for you. Hope I didn't double post this, I don't know if it got sent the first time.
