The icon is placed where exactly? on my system there's a computer icon next to the hostname. I find it visually quite distracting, it gets most attention. I would just drop it, or at least make it 22x22.
I can provide an openSUSE button/logo if I know where it's placed on the screen and how big it should be.
The icon would replace the computer icon. If you think it's better to drop it or make it smaller (with a suse logo), we'll do it :-) -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

The centered position doesn't work for me though. I'd rather not have anything above the user list than an icon centered over there. Can we tweak the layout of the dialog a bit?
Hrm, we can do this, but this will require a patch. It's a glade file: gui/simple-greeter/gdm-greeter-login-window.glade if you want to play with it. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Since fedora has a patch for this also, can we write a patch do this a little more generically with gconf pointing to the logo file?
There's already a gconf key to set the logo :-) The issue is that the current way the dialog looks is not optimal according to Jakub. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

In addition, does the user-chooser need to have such a huge icon? I'm guessing there's usually some sort of avatar in there, with this icon being a fallback.
You're guessing right.
What is the size of that graphic? I'd like to provide something more subtle.
The code tells me: #define ICON_SIZE 96 (In reply to comment #18 from Kevin Dupuy)
Another issue with this login screen: at the top near the main icon, the computer's hostname is shown. The problem is that for the majority of our users who use Automatic Configuration and don;t set a custom hostname, it'll end up saying something like "linux-i6nd", which is gibberish to most users. Would it not be better to change it to a more understandable message (e.g. "Welcome to openSUSE!") or remove the text altogether?
You can play with /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_enable and /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/banner_message_text (although you'll need to set the default values in the system to have this working). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
