Re: Issue with kdm theme

What needs to edited is the 'conf.xml' file that comes with the theme. It might be benecifialto change the background image to match your desktop resolution. Then adjust the location of the login boxes to fit the background.

<!-- login area -->
<item type="entry" id="user-entry">
<pos anchor="w" x="794" y="645" height="32" width="130" font="Sans 12"/>
</item>
<item type="entry" id="pw-entry">
<pos anchor="w" x="794" y="724" height="30" width="130"/>
</item>
</greeter>

This is from the theme. Note the location of the entry boxes are positioned by pixel in x,y format.
