I especially like all the eye candy that I never could get to work with Ubuntu. I guess because I do not program but copy and paste-- I really hate typing !!! One thing though I think you might want to separate the theme packages from xsplash themes because one cannot remove the xsplash without removing the whole theme package. I mean to change xsplash you have to reinstall Ubuntu artwork then install your personal xsplash ;but while doing so, it removes the whole theme not just the xsplash theme. if anyone knows how to change this please let me know. Thanks again for the great distro.
WHOOOW Hold on there big guy, I think your making it more difficult than needs be! If your doing this in terminal stop! First to change your xsplash manualy:
In terminal type sudo nautilus navigate file system>usr>share> images, Open Images you will see xsplash folder(s) as long as the xsplash folder says "xsplash it will be used as the xsplash to store other xsplashs simply name spare ones as "xsplash1" "xsplash2" and so on to activate a stored xsplash rename the current one with another number not in use, and remove (rename) the number off the stored xsplash to read .... xsplash, now if you open the xsplash folder you will see all of the different resolutions of images and the throbber .png's,(the throbber png's will over lay your new image) you can swap out those images for yours, by using GIMP and scale image to match .(save the original xsplash folder for back up)
OR Just install the scripts in the package, If you want to change the xsplash to a GDM log in window I have included that as well and also included is my how to GRUB2 boot splash! you can also find new xplashs and GDM's at Gnome-Look
