I've started with some implementation of this. The simple case is easy, where it's just one wallpaper with default settings.
But I'm assuming our goal is seamlessness. So that when you log in, you see the same exact wallpaper (minus dots and branding obviously). That means that for full integration, we would need to support the following features (modifiable via the Appearance panel): A) One wallpaper B) Multiple wallpapers, transitioning at times defined in an XML file (see /usr/share/backgrounds/contest/background-1.xml) C) One solid color D) A vertical color gradient E) A horizontal color gradient And for the wallpaper cases, we'd need to support possible modes like "zoom", "centered", "stretched", etc. (only modifiable via gsettings right now). I'll start looking into this broader scope soon, but if there is a smaller target we want to hit for 12.04, let me know. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to lightdm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/844081 Title: Unity Greeter - Background of the Unity Greeter should reflect the background chosen by the user that is currently selected Status in D-Bus interfaces for querying and manipulating user account information: Unknown Status in Ayatana Design: Fix Released Status in Light Display Manager: New Status in Unity Greeter: Triaged Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “unity-greeter” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: Background of the Unity Greeter should reflect the background chosen by the user that is currently selected. e.g. the background the user has selected on their desktop should be displayed in the greeter.
