You have been subscribed to a public bug: If you set your desktop background to a partially transparent image, the greeter uses a black background regardless of the colour set on the Appearance settings window. This is especially awkward if the image is mostly black and transparent, so all you see is a black image.
What should happen is that the greeter uses the colour you set in the Appearance settings window. To test this for yourself (I couldn't figure out how to take a screenshot of the login screen!), try this wallpaper: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Lavaurs-12.png Set the background colour to anything but black, then logout. You should just see a completely black background. ** Affects: unity-greeter (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- background wallpaper with transparency always uses black https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/943274 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-greeter in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
