Thanks Marc. Elarun works and is relatively similar to the older KDM login
as to be familiar. The only weird problem I had was that a mouse double
click doesn't seem to select the whole login name so I have to click in the
box at the end and backspace to get a new name in.
Circles seems to work also but the 'circles' are so obnoxious! Just not the
theme for me. I sort of liked the circles login box a bit better because it
put the Plasma 5 choice right there. I didn't try breeze or maldives yet
but might just to see what they look like.
None the less very happy to have all those names and heads gone!
Cheers,
Mark
