30 Cool Linux Login Screens

Published on November 3, 2008 in Eye Candy by Rami Taibah

One of the most powerful attributes that are running for Linux as opposed to other OS’es is it flexibility and customizibility. Its one of the first things mentioned when a Linux geek is asked about Linux. And we love to show it. I trekked Gnome Look and KDE Look and chose for you these 30 great login screen themes. The first 15 are GNOME Specific, while 16-30 are for KDE.

Personally I settled with #14 (sunset). Which one did you settle with? What others do you recommend? Oh and ENJOY!

    for ones who love 15 - arc colors;

    check "shiki colors", which is a fast anf elegant mix theme suit (gtk + gdm + metacity + wallpaper, 4 different color options -orange, blue, green, and red).

    shiki uses a suitable arc colors theme for gdm. for example, the one here is used for orange theme.
