It Depends on which login manager you are using.
If ubuntu's lightdm , then you will have to download greeter-gtk and theme it yourself.
If you are using GDM then you'll find many themes .
LINK The X Window System supplies XDM as its standard display manager.
Programmers have developed other X display managers, both commercial and free, offering additional functionality over the basic display management:
GDM (GNOME)
KDM (provided by KDE) allows the user to graphically select a window manager or desktop environment in the login screen.
XDM, the default X Window System Display Manager
XDM-OPTIONS for xdm. Easy full install, Xhost Phonebook, X Login, X Desktop Chooser, menu-reconfig, repair utils.
LDM, the (remote) Display Manager of the Linux Terminal Server Project
dtlogin (shipped with CDE)
scologin (provided by SCO Open Desktop) also checks for expired passwords and performs some administrative tasks
WINGs Display Manager (using the WINGs widget-set used in Window Maker)
entranced/entrance (employs the architecture used in Enlightenment v.17, on hiatus since 2005)
LXDM, a lightweight display manager, part of LXDE, cross-desktop, fully themeable
SLiM, an independent login manager.
CDM, an ultralight Console Display Manager for Linux
xlogin, X Window login with separate XDMCP server
Enter Lightweight graphical login manager
Orthos, another lightweight solution with very configurable animated themes that use OpenGL only
nodm, auto-login display manager for systems like kiosks, appliances and mobile phones
LightDM, a lightweight, modular, cross-desktop, fully themeable desktop display manager
On most Linux distributions, the default display manager is selected in file /etc/X11/default-display-manager
