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=#444444 background=/path/to/greyish.png (i.e. last valid directive wins) background=#444444:/path/to/greyish.png background-color=#444444 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
