Recently I came across a message on the ubuntu-desktop list in which Robert Ancell proposed switching from GDM (the currently login manager in Ubuntu) to LightDM.
One thing I found out I liked about LightDM is that you can pretty much create any type of ‘greeter’ you want. This got me thinking, if there weren’t any restrictions on what I could do (as there currently are with GDM), what would I do with the login screen?
The results of this are below, I have used ideas from:

Any comments? 🙂

I really like this idea and would be keen to see this on my machines, is it easily achieved?
It is achievable, but maybe not easily 🙂 Someone would have to write this greeter from scratch, however LightDM has very good documentation.

Anybody actually made this one? Or in progress??
I have already made some of it, but it is not finished 🙂 Maybe in the near future…

Any news on how this is coming along? It has to be the best looking log in screen I have ever seen. I wish I could code so that I could contribute to this. 🙂

You actually make it appear so easy along with your presentation however I to find this matter to be really one thing which I believe I would never understand.
It seems too complicated and very vast for me.
I am looking ahead on your next put up, I’ll try to
get the hold of it!
Valuable info. Fortunate me I found your site unintentionally, and I am shocked why this accident did not happened in advance! I bookmarked it.
