I did a find and all i have for greeter files is /etc/pam.d/lightdm-greeter nothing in there looks to be a setting for a theme like ambiance which is set by default? [22:43] droid2: Do you mean the actual greeter used, or the actual UI theme? [22:43] The UI theme depends on the greeter in use. [22:43] there is no greeter section in the lightdm.conf [22:43] by default [22:44] UI theme not the actual login page/session after you do that when your in the lightdm desktop manager [22:44] Without going thru the appearence gui [22:44] of the settings [22:44] there must be a configuration file for it some where that its held in? [22:46] Depends on the greeter. [22:46] Unity-greeter uses gsettings, and I think its theme is hard-coded. GTK greeter I think uses conf files similar to lightdm itself. [22:48] ok but in my cases i have lightdm so are they hardcoded or in a config file.... and if there hardcoded what is the program that sets this [22:51] droid2: are you using lightdm-gtk-greeter or unity-greeter? [22:53] I mean i see all the themes under /usr/share/themes/ and an index.theme file for most of them but what sets the lightdm to uses one over the other i don't see anything in the config files under gnome or lightdm in /etc . And would it be under an /etc/X11 i would think it would be a configuarion file of the desktop or windows manager [22:53] How do i know that ? [22:55] I mean in the current theme index.theme file i have a line like this [22:55] IconTheme=ubuntu-mono-dark [22:55] so i am assuming maybe the ubuntu unity greeter confused [22:56] ?? [23:03] humm i did search the system and all the unity i have is under /usr no config files under /etc [23:04] then ps -A for unity gives me http://pastebin.com/J7qH5cqk [23:07] Though when i man for unity i don't get any options i can see to set this as well as see also unity-panel-service so kind of wondering how to set the theme ? [23:07] And how the appearence gui dropdown box is setting this [23:19] http://pastebin.com/n1P0nKA0 [23:22] droid2: it might be easier to use lightdm-gtk-greeter if you want customization [23:22] so searching i do have unity-greeter but i don't have any strings like lightdm-gtk-greeter [23:24] sudo apt install lightdm-gtk-greeter [23:24] i just man the unity-greeter and it say's something about it is configured in the lightdm.conf file but all i see when i go to /etc/lightdm.conf file is lightdm-autologin no greeting setting [23:26] I understand i can uses alternative my point is i want to beable to understand how this unity one is working ... i mean i can set it thru the appearance settings pretty easilly so kind of wonder? [23:29] I looked a little farther and i did searches for lightdm only 2 programs but in the man page there was references to dm-tool so i looked there but that didn't have a setting really for the theme more for locking system , switching users,...etc [23:32] Also kind of confused is ligtdm part of gnome because i have /etc/gnome files as well as programs http://pastebin.com/tXNtNkkP [23:34] Some of which are running like gnome-keyring ,gnome-session , gnome-termina ,...etc how can to desktop managers be running on the same computer or partially parts of each ... i don't have the gdm so its using the lightdm but still gnome-session won't it be using lightdm-session so CONFUSED [23:39] and yes i have unity-greeter.desktop which has the X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=unity-greater and i think this is where one set the greeter and restarts lightdm [23:41] But either way i think the greeters are only for login not for themes and customization when your already logged in?
