Creating Custom KDM Login Themes

[smirnoff76]

Hi All

I am relatively new to Kubuntu and have been using it now for a round about three months.

I am now wanting to start creating my own KDM login themes, can anyone point me to any good sites that give a hand in getting started and what software is used?

Can anyone who has done this type of work before give me any idea of what is involved and the level of competence required to do such a project?

As usual all help and pointers gratefully received!!
