Description Forgotten User Drfk9mafMw 2008-08-03 17:35:18 UTC

One can either choose the (ugly) openSUSE default or the (even more ugly) very basic blue KDE default. There is no GUI option to configure KDM behaviour, too. Logging in as root and manipulating the settings there has no effect.

Where is this configured? /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager? Setting:
#DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME="SUSE"
DISPLAYMANAGER_KDM_THEME="OXYGEN"
does not work...

I have both kde4-kdm-branding-openSUSE and kde4-kdm-branding-upstream installed, so there must be a way to set some option.

Dirk has to know what config files are read :-)...

Comment 2 Dirk Mueller 2008-10-12 00:00:48 UTC

lowercase "oxygen" in the sysconfig file that you found already should work. can you confirm?

Comment 3 Forgotten User Drfk9mafMw 2008-10-13 08:49:17 UTC

Yes, this works. Maybe the examples in /etc/sysconfig/displaymanager or the YaST sysconfig editor should get an update so that this user error can be avoided.

P.S. KDM4-oxygen login theme looks even more "wrong" on a dual-head setup than KDM3-SUSE :) Looks like i will stick to KDM4-SUSE since this one only uses one screen while leaving the other one blank. That simply looks enormously better.

Comment 4 Forgotten User Drfk9mafMw 2008-11-18 18:00:47 UTC

I am not sure about this: can we close this bug as invalid? Or do you think there is something left to do?

Comment 5 Atri Bhattacharya 2008-11-27 23:05:20 UTC

As of RC1, KDE4 theming not working from the login-manager configuration window (default kdm theme not so great either, the session and menu buttons at bottom left corner hardly visible).

Comment 6 Forgotten User --EoyBps8f 2009-02-20 22:21:20 UTC

Why is it not fixed for you if comment 3 indicates the opposite?

Comment 7 Atri Bhattacharya 2009-02-21 01:04:53 UTC

It is not fixed as of openSUSE 11.1 (+updates) yet. To reproduce problem, open KDE4 system-settings and click on login-manager. Now change theme (to circles, or oxygen). Log out, or restart, but nothing in KDM4 has changed (except that the displayed users in KDM4 is now messed up, but that is a different bug).

Comment 8 Forgotten User Drfk9mafMw 2009-02-21 18:25:20 UTC

I agree that changing the KDM theme should be possible via the KDE system settings and not only via /etc/sysconfig editor. 

This is a bug which remains.
