Ubuntu9.10 how to change the logon Interface

Article Title: ubuntu9.10 how to change the logon interface. Linux is a technology channel of the IT lab in China. Includes basic categories such as desktop applications, Linux system management, kernel research, embedded systems, and open source.

As we all know, we have released the new version of GAM in ubuntu 9.10, so it is no longer as simple as replacing the login interface as before.

I found several methods on the Internet. I don't know if my machine is a special case or if they are transferred in or out, it's not reliable at all. I didn't change it anyway, and the result is not a ghost.

Eventually, just here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php? P = 7576112 & postcount = 365 found the replacement method, but still some things cannot take effect, but it is always more reliable than the previous ones.

For specific methods, refer to the above connection. copy it here as a memorandum to avoid connecting 404 ......

1. Change the TPD background picture

The current settings

Sudo-u gestational disease gconftool-2? Get/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename

Set a new background picture

Sudo-u gestational disease gconftool-2? Set? Type string? Set/desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename/data/pictures/Grassy.jpg

2. The GUID gtk theme

The current settings

Sudo-u gestational disease gconftool-2? Get/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme

Set a new gtk theme (you can find them in/usr/share/themes)

Sudo-u gestational disease gconftool-2? Set? Type string? Set/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_theme Redmond

3. The TPD icon theme (changes the look of the computer icon... Icon above the hostname)

The current settings

Sudo-u gestational disease gconftool-2? Get/desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme

Set a new icon theme (You can find them in/usr/share/icons)

Sudo-u gestational disease gconftool-2? Set? Type string? Set/desktop/gnome/interface/icon_theme Tangerine

And you can edit the file

/Usr/share/gconf/schemas/gdm-simple-greeter.schemas

If you don't like the computer icon. Change the icon ( Coputer ) In the section

　　

　　 /Schemas/apps/TPD/simple-greeter/logo_icon_name

/Apps/TPD/simple-greeter/logo_icon_name

　　 TPD-simple-greeter

　　 String

　　 Computer

　　 NT

　　

　　 Icon name to use for greeter logo

　　 Set to the themed icon name to use for the greeter logo.

　　

　　

4. The TPD user icon

This does not work

Sudo-u gestational disease gconftool-2? Get/schemas/apps/TPD/simple-greeter/logo_icon_name

I haven't found it yet... But at least we cocould overwrite

/Usr/share/icons/gnome/scalable/stock/generic/stock_person.svg

But this icon may be important for other applications... So don't do it.

Solved: you can set the user icon for your user

/Usr/bin/gnome-about-me
