This is to convert a GDM theme - this worked for me but ymmv

Download a GDM login theme to Downloads folder.
I chose this simple one for an example: http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Raindrops?content=105866

Open Downloads folder > right-click on tar.gz file > Open with Archive Manager
Your theme folder appears > Right-click folder > Open

Right-click "GdmGreeterTheme.desktop" (desktop configuration file) > open with Gedit
Change the text [GdmGreeterTheme] to [MdmGreeterTheme] and save file, click update if asked, close gedit

In Archive Manager Window list, again right-click "GdmGreeterTheme.desktop", rename it "MdmGreeterTheme.desktop".
Close Archive Manager.

Go to MintMenu > Administration > Login Window (or xfce Menu > System > Login Window), password required
Click Local tab
Click Add
Navigate through Filesystem to /home/username/Downloads
Click on the tar.gz file > click install
It should appear in the Login Window Preferences > Local list ...
Click its radio button to choose it.
Close

Logout/in

I checked the "Show Actions" box, and also changed the Welcome Message at the bottom to "Custom" as the default on my chosen theme was
"Welcome to Ubuntu" :wink:

Hope it works
