You should add a new gtkrc file.
One way is add a ~/.gtkrc-2.0 which has the colored entry field, but it will affect other gtk applications.
Or you can export GTK2_RC_FILES=your-rc-file  before start gdm.

Hi everybody,
I'm using Ubuntu 9.04 and trying to customize my login theme, I've dug around gnome.org and gnome-look, but hadn't found anyway to change the color of the entry field, seems that it's always white.
I believe this is not a new issue and there're should be someone solved it already, but I don't see any solution on google though.
Do you have any idea ?

I've just made a quick test :
Edit the style of GtkEntry in gtkrc file by adding this line :
base[NORMAL] = "#666666"
Input boxes of all the gtk application are affected, but the login box
is still white.
I'm not sure if it's an issue of Debian/Ubuntu only or not.

my gdm version is 2.27.

the login window 'gdm-simpler-greeter' is running by the user 'gdm'.
So add  .gtkrc-2.0 to other users did not works.

I don't if there was a better way to implement it.
I simply modify the /usr/share/gdm/autostart/LoginWindow/gdm-simple-greeter.desktop
And export GTK2_RC_FILES=your-rc-fil before start gdm-simple-greeter.
It works in my test.
