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!
