Free sabayon kdm software for linux

Sabayon is a system administration tool to manage GNOME desktop settings.

Sabayon provides a sane way to edit GConf defaults and GConf mandatory keys: the same way you edit your desktop. Sabayon launches profiles in an Xnest window.

Any changes you make in the Xnest window are saved back to the profile file, which can then be applied to users accounts.

daemonic-smegma kdm is a nice KDM theme featuring a background image by Craig Mullins.

daemonic-smegma kdm is my first attempt at making a kdm theme and I just followed someone elses example so there may be some things it needs/doesnt need. It looks good at 1400x1050 but i havent tested it at other resolutions.

For best results, set your desktop and kdm wallpaper to this themes background image and use the Daemons Inside glossy splash screen.

X-Files KDM Theme is a login screen for KDE desktop manager with a nice X-Files background.

Glass KDM for PCLinuxOS is a new KDM theme for PCLinuxOS featuring a clear glass login frame.

LXSession is a lightweight X11 session manager derived from XSM.

LXSession is the default X11 session manager of LXDE. (LXDE: Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment) http://lxde.sourceforge.net/

Though being part of LXDE, its totally desktop-independent. It doesnt depend on any desktop environment, and has few dependencies. The goal of this project is to make a simple and clean a X11 session manager which isnt tight to any desktop environment.

We know that GNOME session by default loads GNOME, XFCE4 session by default loads XFCE, and what will LXSession load then? "Its all up to you." You can give it a list of applications you want to launch, including window manager and other components of a regular desktop environment should have. Then, give this combination a new name, and you can have "your own custom desktop environment" now.

At the end of this README file, there will be a tutorial telling you how to create your own new desktop environment. So, be patient.

By default LXSession ships with a set of config files giving you a new desktop environment called LXDE. When you choose LXDE in GDM, KDM, or simply execute startlxde in xinitrc, When launching, LXDE will load icewm (window manager), pcmanfm (file manager), and lxpanel (desktop panel).

This, of course, can be changed, but I guess users will be intrested in creating their own new customized DE.

Check these files with text editors to see how LXSession works. These files define a default session named LXDE:

/usr/share/xsessions/LXDE.desktop: Add an entry in GDM & KDM
/usr/bin/startlxde: Convinient script launching LXDE
/etc/LXSM-LXDE-Default: Default programs loaded when LXDE is started,
containing window manager, desktop panel...etc.

You can create your own desktop session and give it a new name. For example, lets create a new desktop environment called MyDE.

1. Copy /usr/share/xsessions/LXDE.desktop to
/usr/share/xsessions/MyDE.desktop
2. Edit MyDE.desktop with the text editor you like. Replace all LXDE
with MyDE, and replace startlxde with startmyde.
3. Copy /usr/bin/startlxde to /usr/bin/startmyde.
4. Edit startmyde with text editor, and again, replace LXDE with MyDE.
5. Copy /etc/LXSM-LXDE-Default to /etc/LXSM-MyDE-Default
6. Edit LXSM-MyDE-Default, and list the programs you want to launch when
MyDE gets started in the file. Note that you had better not remove
"smproxy" since this can make programs without session management
support supported by session manager.
7. Done. Logout to check if your DE appears in the menu of GDM or KDM.
If not, restart them. If you dont use display manager, you can add
startmyde to your xinitrc to see if it works.

KDM-Lines is a KDM theme to go with http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=53167

I hope this is what you had in mind.

sidux-highway is a KDM theme as a modification of the Sabayon KDM theme "Open Future".

The highway picture was taken and modified by me, the go.png is taken from "crystalline black" icons (kde-look.org #46349), session.png and system.png are modified nuoveXT icons (kde-look.org #26449). The small pictures inside the monitor and folder are sidux wallpapers.

Modifications:

changed wallpaper and icons and resized and repositioned the userlist slightly, added missing screenshot

The highway picture is widescreen 1920x1200. Should be easy to resize it if needed. For your convenience I also have added a 1024x768 version, just rename it if you want to use it instead of the WUXGA picture.

To use the theme untar it to /usr/share/apps/kdm/themes/ and either change your /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc manually or use kcontrol if you have the kdmtheme module.

ATTENTION: If you use a display height other than 1200 the position of the login area (that half transparent stripe) will be different from what you see in the preview. If you want to have the same position with another display height you can easily adjust it by editing the file highway.xml with your favorite text editor. Just go to line 49 and change the y-value that by default is "-485". Its an easy rule of three: lets say you have a display height of 800: 800x485/1200=323 - go and replace -485 by -323.
