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:

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 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. http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/KDM123Mockup1.png http://i1108.photobucket.com/albums/h414/anditosan/Mockup2.png Andy (anditosan) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-artwork+owner@opensuse.org
