Howto: Install KDM themes in Kubuntu 11.10

I noticed a lack of search results for this so I'll post the howto. All the search results pointed to the theme manager (package kdmtheme) But it seems to be obsolete. Here is the manual way:

1) Download the theme you want

2) In terminal (cd to directory of theme file): tar -xzvf (theme).tar.gz

3) In terminal: sudo mv /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes

4) Assign the new theme: System Settings > Login Screen (located at the bottom of the window) > Theme Tab > Select newly installed them > apply > exit.

5) Log out to see it.
