Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestion
The setup utility that comes in many other Gnome based distorts is missing majority of the older GDM setup utility's functionality. This app place the functionality back in the user hands through a simple GUI. Execute the following command from your trrminal to add this application into your package manager.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gdm2setup/gdm2setup
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python-gdm2setup
This application will update along with other packages automatically.
Thanks a lot for your valuable suggestion that works flawlessly, if you desire to alter the background as well as icon theme, but unhappy I be supposed to of talk about I wish to be able to select a theme, such as one off gnome-look.org by means of a method similar to the one explained if that's likely, but I will be certain to play through GDM2Setup in the meantime .
If you need to add new themes, you can do it through sudo privilege, as well as install it in usr/share/themes .After that it will be accessible for gdm2setup (each and every one users) Those themes are designed for GDM version 2.28. They are not compatible by means of the most recent versions of GDM, moreover why you cannot locate that "Login Window Preferences”.
