The most beautiful part of being a linux user is the choice you have, whatever issue it is. Like any other Linux distro, Ubuntu is infinitely customisable with any number of themes and applications. This include login window themes or gdm themes as well. Major source for themes in ubuntu include www.gnome-look.org and www.deviantart.com. There, you could obtain literally thousands of good quality themes.
And i think may be that is the problem. I am not saying it as a bad thing but still, you are simply overwhelmed by the sheer number of choice you have. Here is select set of login window themes that i think are really worth a look. If you are looking for full set themes which include gdm themes, wallpapers,icon themes etc you may want to take a look at 10 beautiful themes you can download directly from Ubuntu repository.
