Question: I am on SLiM, and I don't like the default login screen. I want a login screen like the one shown below:

But instead I have a pretty minimal one which has just one textbox and nothing else on the screen. I can't find a screenshot of it, but that is what I got when I am done installing.

Is changing to GDM the only way to get a login screen like this? Is there any other way?

Answer: 
The SLiM website has a page detailing how to [create your own theme](http://slim.berlios.de/themes_howto.php).

You can find additional themes on a number of sites, including [Gnome Look](http://gnome-look.org/) and in the [Arch User Repository](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?O=0&K=slim-theme&do_Search=Go)...
Probably the best way would be to install GDM, beacuse the login manager is much more better than slim, Slim has LITERALLY no scrollbars... or anything. You cannot change your window manager or desktop enviroment either. (On slim) I preffer GDM, since its more reliable and easy to use. It does not require editing the configuration file AFTER logging in to change the de/wm.
