[Bug 441210] Re: boot and gdm wallpaper is too low color
I must say it looks for me also like in the link posted above.

I can see the issue with the image you uploaded, but I don't think this is the original asset. Have you re-saved the image?

God, you're kidding right? If you don't see the problem, it doesn't mean it is not there. Why are you so stubborn. I'm just trying to help to enhance user experience with ubuntu. Just ask someone else. Today I looked at that image on my old 15 CRT I had in my old-stuff room and it looks the same way as on my S-PVA monitor - it has clearly visible steps in the gradients. Note that they are not much visible with low brightness set. I will enlarge the image and you really must see it then or you should really see a doctor to look at your eyes. -- boot and gdm wallpaper is too low color https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Mat Tomaszewski: My comment above was to Cody Russell, your comment was not there when I started to write it. but I don't think this is the original asset It is. I've extracted it directly from ubuntu-xsplash- artwork_0.8.2-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb/data.tar.gz/usr/share/images/xsplash in Windows (I didn't want to boot ubuntu to find it). It is not re-saved.

[Bug 441210] Re: boot and gdm wallpaper is too low color
I would say that JPEG compression has partly an impact on the image quality as well. Maybe if there were PNG file instead of JPG, it would be (at least a bit) better... Another problem is that GDM uses the same image as xsplash and suffers from this as well. I think that fixing xsplash itself is not a solution, that image re-rendering would be better choice. Are there any sources available (svg, xcf or sth like that)? -- boot and gdm wallpaper is too low color https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 441210] Re: boot and gdm wallpaper is too low color
Mat, after doing some profiling this week I learned that loading both pixbuf loaders is taking about 1/5 second longer than necessary (on David's really terrible netbook though, which means way less on real hardware) when xsplash first loads, so I was thinking to ask you if you could convert the bg images to PNG if it doesn't have a negative impact on the quality of the images. -- boot and gdm wallpaper is too low color https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 441210] Re: boot and gdm wallpaper is too low color
When I uploaded the wallpaper at abclinuxu.cz (http://www.abclinuxu.cz/desktopy/jardik-20091008) (czech language, sorry), most users confirmed that the steps are really there (even one with CRT display). Only two of them seem to be blind as they don't see it (I would say they are lying because they do not like me). Some of them told me that I'm idi*t reporting bug like this, but it is important that new user doesn't spot such an ugly-rendered wallpaper - it would make him think that ubuntu is not worth trying anymore, make him think that when the wallpaper is ugly, the system itself will be like incomplete puzzle. ** This bug is no longer a duplicate of bug 423632 xsplash wallpaper gradients are massively distorted at 16bpp depth -- boot and gdm wallpaper is too low color https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441210 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Okay, if that image you linked to is a screenshot of the problem you're having then I agree that it's not a duplicate to bug #423632.
