After successfully installing Xubuntu 12.04.1 on my laptop, I decided to install Unity. That went OK but then I realized there was no themes. So then I installed the themes and artwork, and got a really bad surprise. My lightDM greeter was still Xubuntu like I wanted but the buttons where you choose the user are really tall and I have a purple computer as the icon above my computer name. How do I get back to the original Xubuntu configuration or edit the CSS while keeping Unity? I know where all of the files are but don't know which file to edit or which CSS property to modify.
Packages Installed:
unity unity-services unity-mail
Then I Installed:
ubuntu-artwork light-themes ubuntu-wallpapers-oneric ubuntu-wallpapers-precise

Check the content of
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
. To get back to the Xubuntu config, make sure thegreeter-session
parameter is set to 'lightdm-gtk-greeter', ...like this:To edit the file, run
gksu leafpad /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
.
