[Bug 932523] Re: Missing background image = ugly background color
While the OP mentioned that the named file was not used to display the background, I have a situation where a specified (in the .conf file) background file is NOT used to display the desired background. In fact, the only way I could get my Pangolin background to display was to rename it to `warty-ubuntu-final.png`. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932523 Title: Missing background image = ugly background color To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/932523/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The background color is set to be similar to the default background in Ubuntu. This is because there is a race between the X window being shown, and the greeter process drawing to it. The default gray caused a visual flash to be seen if the greeter was too slow in drawing the first frame, it's just less noticeable with it set to purple. ** Package changed: lightdm (Ubuntu) = unity-greeter (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932523 Title: Missing background image = ugly background color To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/932523/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 932523] Re: Missing background image = ugly background color
Could you allow a means for the config file to specify both a color and an image file? That way, if both are given, then the color can be set whether or not the image is available---in other words, the color setting serves as a fallback. For example, background=#44 background=/path/to/greyish.png (i.e. last valid directive wins) background=#44:/path/to/greyish.png background-color=#44 background-image=/path/to/greyish.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/932523 Title: Missing background image = ugly background color To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-greeter/+bug/932523/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
