I like it, but prefer number 11. The gamma (as I believe it's called) seems lower, and everything's not almost blanked out by the brightness. > > I have to say that I prefer the logo and text be kept on the > outside of the login box as in this GDM, it's not really > something that should be contained in a box.

Yeah (as I said above). If that were the case, then I would prefer it over 11. > Also lightening both the shine and the shadow on the black text > slightly, and making the colours in the logo more contrasting > would improve the overall balance.

I'm happy to criticise though! :) -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.3 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFFC8YDv7fgPJvITk4RAqpOAJ0cj06Ke6tKtooU8trgSvi91byVuwCcCX0X SC09CnmNh2RXf4vnWTKq61s= =tPW4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- ubuntu-art mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-art
