Actually, you don't need to untar the files; there's an installer in gdmsetup that will take care of installing the files for you. A simple way to do your own GDM theme is to find one in art.gnome.org that you like the setup or style of, download and untar it in your own directory and look at the files. You can then edit the xml file that describes the layout to use your graphics, rename things, retar and install. I've got one that I did using my own photography, that, if you'd like, I could send to you... ---- Robert P.
