Hi,
Some users complained to me and swyear (swyear@opensuse.org) about 12.2 KDM theme online/offline.
To be frank it's the first time that we've ever heared of criticism over our artwork...that does not feel good.
But yes they have enough reasons to complain...the login screen is separated into two blocks which are nearly obaque that discord with kde's plasma and even discord with the ksplash we created...and the two blocks seems to be of full use of widescreen but displays very ugly on any 4:3 screen with resolution less than 1024:768.
So we have to believe it might because our late schedule for 12.2 which makes us under a lot of pressure and create things in a hurry.
So I take some time and reworked our KDM theme:
For those just want to see screenshots:
[with logo and login button]
[without them]
Or here:
https://raw.github.com/marguerite/openSUSE-12.2-KDM-branding-reworked/master...
So I come here to see if there's any chance that we ship this
http://forums.opensuse.org/english/get-technical-help-here/how-faq-forums/un... through
an update...
PS: I just finished the normal local user mode, which means the remote login mode and pam-enabled mode might be even more ugly than before...because I have no such hardware environment to test...I can't even see those items.

I could help in designing a new theme. However, the designer I don't know exactly how good it can be done on the actual code. For that, I will need to help of a coader but I can still create something and you can tell me if it is doable or not.

I went for something simple but also striking. Using the drama of the background image, the simple elements of username and password are back on the screen. Obviously the image can change depending on what's decided later. But let me know if this is something worth pursuing.

Hi, Andy, If you want to design a theme for personal use, make it simple is a good idea. And it codes easy. But if you want to make an OS default, to keep simple is not enough. Because our users may face many situations, like if you do a remote login, you have to also input your domain name, if you are using pam, you need to make space for its hintings and prompts. And our default background only use openSUSE color scheme and abstract things like stripes and logo instead of landscapes, so making textareas without border or boxes may be not a good idea. Anyway learning some structure and syntax is always good. It's XML actually, or "GNOME greeter"(Google that please, I am on a mobile and about to sleep, so hard to find that link for you), with predefined elements like userlist, user-pw-entry and etc, following a box model like CSS. So if you can theme a website, you are okay with coding KDM/GDM theme. And you can find "test KDM theme" on kde-look.org. install xorg-server-extra and modify /usr/share/kde4/config/kdm/kdmrc and /etc/X11/xdm.d/Xaccess. Then you can test without log out and login. /usr/share/kde4/apps/kdm/themes/openSUSE/openSUSE.xml might be your teacher. Maybe I can document these steps on wiki when I get up...but now I am sleeping... Ps: your mockup is of course doable. And can be done within a minute. But it's not enough for an OS default...
