[Bug 970024] Re: Unity Greeter has purple backgroundcolor before the background image is loaded
There is no synchronisation issue. But there is just too much stuff to be done between the initial background color and the actual background image is drawn. There are 2 things that take longer than 0.2 seconds: launching Canberra and playing the startup sound takes about 0.26 seconds and LightDM.get_layout () (line 81 in menubar.vala) takes about 0.20 seconds. So there was about a half second gap between those two backgrounds, unfotunately a ~0.1 second gap still remains. The fact that the standard purple image is loaded at all, is a problem caused by appending the *other user to the user_list(which is the first user added, so the purple image is drawn) and then removing it later(which triggers a background redraw of the actual image). But still, unity-greeter will fade from the initial background color to the actual background image, because the fade time is set and i am not able to disable it and reset it later. :( But in my opinion that is no problem, the fade in actually looks nice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/970024 Title: Unity Greeter has purple backgroundcolor before the background image is loaded To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/970024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 970024] Re: Unity Greeter has purple backgroundcolor before the background image is loaded
I've just merged in lp:~khadgaray/unity-greeter/default-background-color which makes the background color configurable. @Michael, correct. This color is a hack because there is a race between the X window appearing and the application being able to draw to it. This needs to be properly synchronised. ** Changed in: unity-greeter Importance: Undecided = Medium ** Changed in: unity-greeter Status: Confirmed = Triaged -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/970024 Title: Unity Greeter has purple backgroundcolor before the background image is loaded To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/970024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 970024] Re: Unity Greeter has purple backgroundcolor before the background image is loaded
Philipp, thanks for the work on that patch. I don't see this patch solving the synchronisation issue unfortunately. If you do get that working, the best way to propose that patch is to go to https://code.launchpad.net/~sacridex/ubuntu/precise/unity-greeter/purple-background-on-startup-fix and select Propose for merging.
