Hello guys :)
How can I change the login screen theme in Zorin lite Xfce
The display manager is lightdm.
When I tried to edit the conf file located at the
Code: 
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
the lightdm.conf file does not exist
and where can I find some theme for my login screen?
If guys know any way to do this pls comment
 


You can set the default greeter by changing the [Seat:*] section of the LightDM configuration file, like so: /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf [Seat:*] ... greeter-session=lightdm-[I]yourgreeter[/I]-greeter ...


I suggest reading arch wiki even distro is Zorin Lightdm
There is enough info how to change theme :)

gnome-look-lightdm
 
Can you check if there is other directory's i can see other on my work linux mint.

I got like this on my work pc:

Code: 
lomszz@lomszz-ThinkCentre-M82:/etc/lightdm$ ls
lightdm.conf.d  lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d  users.conf

Inside lightdm.conf.d:
Code: 
70-linuxmint.conf

This is inside /etc/lightdm/
Code: 
adithyan@zorinos:/etc/lightdm|⇒  cd /etc/lightdm/ && ls
lightdm.conf.d  lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf  users.conf

1. Inside lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
Code: 
[greeter]
background = /usr/share/backgrounds/54669.jpg

2. Inside users.conf
Code: 
#
# User accounts configuration
#
# NOTE: If you have AccountsService installed on your system, then LightDM will
# use this instead and these settings will be ignored
#
# minimum-uid = Minimum UID required to be shown in greeter
# hidden-users = Users that are not shown to the user
# hidden-shells = Shells that indicate a user cannot login
#
[UserList]
minimum-uid=500
hidden-users=nobody nobody4 noaccess
hidden-shells=/bin/false /usr/sbin/nologin /sbin/nologin

3. And the folder lightdm.conf.d is empty
 
[greeter] background = /usr/share/backgrounds/54669.jpg
This one will help change background, and for rest of themes i think you can create .themes to into your home folder and add lines to file if there isnt any at gtk-greeter.

Hard to say i got lines with theme & background at greeter conf

edit: small tutorial i found
tutorial
 
Okay let us assume that I want to add this theme to my login screen: theme
How do I do that now the question is straightforward
 
Need to check out more. One is sure you need web2kit

web2kit

edit: couldnt install that theme on mint but web2kit is installed. Only corrupted my login theme thank god i take backups before i install.

Do you have anything else themes on mind i could look up

edit2: :D
try this:
locate lightdm.conf i got this on my pc
Code: 
/etc/init/lightdm.conf
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/70-linuxmint.conf
/usr/share/doc/lightdm/lightdm.conf.gz
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-disable-guest.conf
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-disable-log-backup.conf
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-greeter-wrapper.conf
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-guest-wrapper.conf
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/50-xserver-command.conf
/usr/share/lightdm/lightdm.conf.d/90-slick-greeter.conf
