kubuntu 14.04 login screen

[vsreeser]

I want to change the login screen. More precisely, I want the one in the BHS distro. The Matrix flowing down the screen with username, then pw in the middle. Not sure where to get the file. Then i need to know where to put it.

Helps or links to helps appreciated.

The 'kubuntu 14.04' is coming as default with the LightDM but is not limited to use it.
