After I upgraded to 13.10 an ugly white icon theme appeared at top panel of lightdm, which does not fit bluish theme. I am using zorin greeter. I also tried gtk greeter but I didn't like it.

I took a pic of current lightdm theme using lightdm --test-mode
enter image description here

Above picture doesn't reflect actual appearance, icons full of white corners.

How can I replace my own icon sets with above icons?

EDIT: there is also no power button option at top right bar. Did latest lightdm drop some features?

As a reference to myself in the future, I fixed it like that:

I switched to unity-greeter and run

sudo xhost +SI:localuser:lightdm

sudo su lightdm -s /bin/bash

gsettings set com.canonical.unity-greeter icon-theme-name ubuntu-mono-dark

And I have a nice icon set.
