Description alan arqueza 2006-09-09 04:15:34 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.4.2)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
OS:                Linux

I am tyring to change the Background image with Login Manager from the Administrator Mode button with KDE 3.4.2 Level "b" in Suse Linux 10.0. I start from Control Center and click System Administration, and Login Manager.  I press the Administrator Mode button and enter my su password.  I select Background and "x" the Enable Background with "Picture" selected choosing an image from the thumbnail preview. Then I press Apply and then choose File and Quit to close Login Manager.  I reboot the computer with Control Alt Delete and choose Restart Computer.

When the username and login screen appears there is no change to the Background image.

are you using the themed full-screen greeter or the regular dialog window greeter?
Comment 2 alan arqueza 2006-09-10 08:43:20 UTC 
can you describe the themed full-screen greeter in comparison to the regular dialog window greeter?

i also changed the Appearance of the greeter from Login Manager and set the clock to display at the username and login start up screen resulting in no change on start up.
Comment 3 Oswald Buddenhagen 2006-09-10 08:55:08 UTC 
the regular greeter is a normal qt/kde dialog with a "raised" frame effect, with all input fields, buttons, possibly a user list and possibly a console log, simply on top of a background.
the themed greeter is full-screen, and - as it is themed - nothing more can be definitely said about it. however, usually themes blend the controls into the background, are very colorful and often look somewhat flat for the lack of 3d-effects.
Comment 4 alan arqueza 2006-09-10 19:52:11 UTC 
the regular themed greeter is currently being displayed with the username and login prompt on a blue screen with white text. the Suse logo is diplayed in white on the upper right side above the right justified login and username prompt.
Comment 5 Oswald Buddenhagen 2006-09-10 20:18:59 UTC 
regular themed ... perfect answer. ;)
anyway, the fact that "enable background" was not set before and you *still* had a background is a very strong indicator that you are using a themed greeter. unfortunately, it is not configurable short of altering the theme (or just getting another one).
