Please integrate and test if this works :-)...
Comment 2 Dirk Mueller 2008-04-25 11:28:50 UTC
is there a way to get access to the svn to be able to fix the theme? its nowhere near working

after a bit of fixing, this is how it looks. not exactly pretty, but probably good enough for beta2.

I don't like the streaks on the black section, That should be smooth. And can you make the green background softer?
Comment 9 Jakub Steiner 2008-04-28 10:47:10 UTC
Looks like KDM isn't doing any dithering itself, will try to work around it.
Comment 10 Dirk Mueller 2008-04-28 13:57:22 UTC
I've run this in 16bit framebuffer, it might look different on a real 24bit display
Comment 11 Dirk Mueller 2008-04-28 14:37:48 UTC
Jakub, can you please commit home/jimmac/gfx/novell/pdes/branches/experiments/suse-1/timer.png to svn? it is referenced from stripe.svg
Comment 12 Dirk Mueller 2008-04-28 14:38:46 UTC
is it possible to combine background.svg and stripe.svg into one jpeg? the blending is fast with kde4's kdm, but it is really slow with kde3's kdm (4-5 seconds)

Comment 13 Christopher Desjardins 2008-04-30 18:55:42 UTC
Could the userlist icon be changed?  The default one looks a tad bit ugly.  I vote for either the tangoified userlist icon that was used in 10.3 or something more consistent with the oxygen icon theme. 

For the tangofied user icon -> http://files.opensuse.org/opensuse/en/2/25/Os103-kdm.png  

The user named 'Aphex Twin' had the default icon for 10.3 and it was nice.  

But the blue head makes me think the user needs oxygen (couldn't resist the pun).

comment #12>

I've removed the obsolete reference to the bitmap, sorry.

As for the background change, sure it would be possible, but note that the stripe will grow vertically with increased resolution. The reason why it's composited it to keep the height constant. Some speedup may be also gained by using a bitmap instead of the SVGs. Should I go ahead with the changes?
Comment 15 Dirk Mueller 2008-05-05 14:49:24 UTC
the stripe is supposed to be fixed height?! 

  <!-- dark stripe -->
  <item type="svg">
    <normal file="stripe.svg" />
    <pos anchor="c" x="50%" y="50%" width="100%" height="50%" />
  </item>

it says 50% here. which height is it supposed to have? how is it supposed to adjust to bigger font sizes due to high-resolution displays?

also, the suse logo, is it supposed to be only shown during user list off or all the time. the  preview doesn't make that clear. 
Comment 16 Jakub Steiner 2008-05-05 18:11:59 UTC
Committed the flattened background variant you suggested. I don't think there is room for both the logo and the face browser. Feel free to replace the thumbnail with the facebrowser variant.
