Hello there !
I recently installed a Debian, and I decided to try xfce. I made a mistake and installed Squeeze instead of Wheezy, but I found a very interesting option to change the login manager's theme.
Since I reinstalled Debian to have my Wheezy, I can't find this option anymore ! (it changed from xfce 4.6 to 4.8)
So I tried to customize the login manager, but I can't find any theme for lightdm, and except the background there is nothing to custom. I also tried slim, but there are no mouse, nor user list.
Moreover, there is no package for lxdm, and I don't want to bring half of gnome/kde for gdm/kdm.
Where can I find a good login manager with themes ? Why this option disappeared ?
Thanks for your help and sorry for my english, I'm french.

Hello,
lightdm isn't developed and supported by the Xfce developers, to get help on this software you should head to http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/lightdm or https://launchpad.net/lightdm.
Cheers,

@jeromeg - if i am out of line responding to the question, i apologize, just want to help this guy out.
i too use Wheezy + XFCE with lightdm, and you can modify the color scheme, font, antialias settings, etc. for light dm easily.
sudo mousepad /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
just make sur eyou know the name of the theme / font you want to use exactly, otherwise it will revert back to the system default theme. example:
[greeter]
background=/home/user/Pictures/background.jpg
#show-language-selector=false
theme-name=Mist
font-name=URW Gothic L 11
xft-antialias=true
#xft-dpi=
xft-hintstyle=hintmedium
xft-rgba=rgb
