Project 7D: Changing Your Login Screen

You may have noticed while working with the Art Manager that there is a menu selection (Art ► Other Themes) for something called Login Manager. The Login Manager is your login screen, also known as a greeter —the screen where you type your username and user password when you first log in to your system. The Login Manager is another thing that you can customize, but be forewarned that any changes you make will be system-wide, not just for you; whatever Login Manager theme you install and choose will be the Login Manager theme that everyone else with user accounts will see when they use the machine. Of course, if you are the only one using your machine, this point is moot.
