[Bug 844081] Re: Unity Greeter - Background of the Unity Greeter should reflect the background chosen by the user that is currently selected
I'd be concerned that a user might choose an inappropriate desktop wallpaper and I'd have no way to prevent it from being displayed to everyone who uses the computer, so as admin I'd want to be able to switch off the feature of showing the selected user's wallpaper on LightDM and instead only show the same wallpaper for everybody. What people put as the wallpaper on their own account is up to them, but the login screen is a shared space. Aside from that, as someone who isn't admin I might not want to show everyone my wallpaper. For instance, I use a wallpaper of Humble Indie Bundle 5 which seems childish for my age. I might not want others to see it when they come to use the computer. Now that I've read some of the comment section I know I can hide it with file permissions, but I wouldn't have thought of that on my own even after using Ubuntu for over 6 years. It makes much more sense in terms of organization, intuitiveness, and respecting user's privacy (which I thought Ubuntu was trying to champion) to make it a switch in the Appearance panel: [X] Show my wallpaper on the log in screen Which behind the scenes just changes the permissions on the file as described by others.

I'm very late to this party, but: We have FAR more pressing problems on the discretion front. Top of my list is the fact that we don't map notifications away from projectors. That's far more risky - you can control your choice of wallpaper, but you can't control what someone might IM to you while you are making your critical presentation. So, please help us address that issue. I'm sure we all agree that's more important, and perhaps, by the time we come back to this less important issue, we will all have evolved our positions. OK? By your logic, a perfectly acceptable solution to this is to just uninstall notifications. Or uninstall their IM program. Simple right? Or just not use Ubuntu! Or the regular user could just patch it themselves! Oh how simple. All your reasons for ignoring this option are perfectly applicable to the more pressing issue you described. In my experience, the amount of people who have offensive (or private as I'd much rather call them, because offensive is surely a very small subset of private) wallpapers is much greater than the amount of people who use projectors while their IM program is running. And what! I think I just solved your pressing problem -- just turn your IM program off? Could it be that simple? Otherwise, uninstall it. I'm sorry for any unwarranted sarcasm or spitefulness, but this bug report thread made me really, really sad about Ubuntu's attitude and priorities at the top of the mound. :-\ With love, Victor -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/accountsservice/+bug/844081/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

This is not a private communication ;-) Folks, we can construct artificial scenarios to make any option worthwhile. That's not how we do design; instead of celebrating the unusual and the extreme, we look for the things that most people can enjoy and use. That's where we focus our energy. The world of Linux and Ubuntu will always have infinite possibilities for those who want to explore them, but it's not in our value set to FORCE everyone who takes a vanilla CD off the shelf to *have to deal* with those possibilities. This is good practice. It makes Ubuntu grow and achieves our goals as a community. As a side benefit, it attracts lots of developers who want to be part of changing the world, and who want to write applications for those users. In this case, as was rather eloquently put, we've chosen to treat the wallpaper as a part of your expression of yourself to others. That's a perfectly reasonable position to take - look how *proudly* people show off their wallpapers! We're celebrating that, and elevating that. And we think this is good. Moreover, we think the position that one would choose a wallpaper that would cause mortal embarrassment is (a) so unlikely, and (b) so impossible to enforce, that it does not warrant an option. We have a saying - options cost a knuckle, dialogs cost a finger. This isn't worth a knuckle. We have FAR more pressing problems on the discretion front.

Re: [Bug 844081] Re: Unity Greeter - Background of the Unity Greeter should reflect the background chosen by the user that is currently selected
I'm thinking of it like this: the background picture in 12.04 is a personal touch in the same sense as your name or your profile picture. It is part of your public profile, and it's a way for the OS to say “this belongs to Bob.” (It works like this in lots of popular web services, for what it's worth. Facebook, Twitter and Tumblr spring to mind). That IS a change in approach from 11.10, where the background was visible by circumstance but not necessarily on purpose. They're different approaches, and that's pretty well it. Ubuntu's backgrounds are not like other desktop operating systems, but neither is Ubuntu. The feature makes sense in its own right, and it's quite clear - from the first time someone logs in - that it is happening.

[Bug 844081] Re: Unity Greeter - Background of the Unity Greeter should reflect the background chosen by the user that is currently selected
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 Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/accountsservice/+bug/844081/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 844081] Re: Unity Greeter - Background of the Unity Greeter should reflect the background chosen by the user that is currently selected
Correct on seamlessness being the goal. The only thing that has to work for 12.04 is that the greeter should layout the wallpaper using the same transformation as the GNOME/Unity default. Anything else is a bonus, and worth bumping to a later release. I don't think we want to support transitioning wallpapers at all, if someone has this configured we should just show the first one (transitioning would be confusing and look like the selected user was changing). Treat a non image based wallpaper as unset and show the system default for now. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center 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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/accountsservice/+bug/844081/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
