GDM3Setup is a tool that allows the user to customize the GDM3 display manager easily. As you may know, Gnome 3 has brought many changes to the desktop environment and GDM, its default display manager. GDM3setup has an intuitive GUI and two commandline interface tools: gdmlogin for disabling/enabling autologin and gdmshelltheme, for customizing the GDM theme.
GDM3Setup allows the user easily do the following things:
- change the background image
- change the icons
- change the cursor size and picture
- change the fonts
- enable / disable autologin
- display clock and date
- show or hide the user list from the GDM display manager.
