So, in the pursuit of further ponification of my Linux Laptop I decided to see what I could do with the new login screen interface for Linux Mint 15 / Ubuntu 13.04 and see about making a pony theme. Here is the result, with desktop ponies and everything on your screen!

How to Install:
To install just download and unzip the zip file (seems DA doesn't like tar.gz files, which themes have to be in...) file, right click the resulting directory "Ponies" and click on compress. Compress as tar.gz. Then go to "System Settings"->"Login Screen" then add a new screen and select the re-compressed file!

How to edit the desktop ponies shown on the login screen:
Open the tar.gz file and edit the index.html page
Edit this line with the ponies you want (Format is: "ponyname":number):
"spawn":{"applejack":1,"pinkie pie":1,"rarity":1,"fluttershy":1,"rainbow dash":1,"twilight sparkle":1}
All names are in lower case. Just a warning however: Don't do too many ponies or your login screen will start crashing!!!!
Once you are done editing save the file and re-add to the tar.gz file.
Re-add in your login manager
Enjoy!
