Petter The problem isn't one I cannot live with if I chose the correct theme, but when running kmail under this window manager, 99% of them use so faint a marker in the folder list to indicate which folder you are in that it needs a concentrated stare to spot it, and if the msg list is aggregated other than flat-by-date, there is so much of the same garish colors there that I am unable to read the subject line of the currently displayed message, the color totally overrides the textual content. That absolutely sounds like a problem, but AFAIK lightdm/wm's should have no impact on what colours kmail uses. I personally use no k*-apps, but aren't the colours configurable from within kmail? From what I've seen of the k-family, they tend to be pretty configurable. Maybe it uses some system-wide KDE/Qt setting, have you tried to look at that? If you can't find anything there, I would look for a kmail mailing-list and ask there. Failing that, I would suggest you switch to Claws Mail ;-) What I was hoping I could do was to make some minor edits in the best of the lot to see if it could be further improved. From the proliferation of available themes available, one would draw the conclusion that there is an editor used by the producers of all these. If there is, I haven't found it if you're still talking about lightdm, but in that case I'm afraid you're barking up the wrong tree :( Looks like a false hope at this time repo selection.

I just had a look, and it seems the themes are just CSS files, so you could just open for instance (on an Ubuntu machine): /usr/share/themes/Numix/gtk-3.0/apps/lightdm-gtk-greeter.css Copy this (or similar), open it in an editor, and you can edit colors and images.

A graphical editor I have never heard of. Sorry. Petter Thanks Petter, I will take a look at that once the coffee kicks in. Gene, I just fired up a Jessie VM here, and see that the default greeter is lightdm-gtk-greeter. There is a sample config file in: /usr/share/doc/lightdm-gtk-greeter/sample-lightdm-gtk-greeter.css Try to have a look at that, and possibly /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf if necessary. The manpage for lightdm mentions dm-tool - take a look at the manpage for both of those also. HTH, Petter dm-tool sounds like something I should look at, but it is not in the repo's I address. Fixable? Thanks Petter. Cheers, Gene Heskett -- There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
