Any help would be greatly appreciated. However, please let me know
prior to posting it on the wiki so I can double check the information
with our engineers here. Thanks.
The information I posted there comes directly from the GDM and firstboot
maintainers from when I wrote the FC5 GDM theme and when I was involved
in the QA effort testing RHEL 5 Beta. I work directly with these
engineers on a regular basis. Thanks for the offer, though. It is not
needed, however. :)
3. 'File Name + Extension: background.png + gdm' This isn't actually
correct. GDM themes are more complicated than this. The theme is
actually an XML file in /usr/share/gdm/themes/$THEME_NAME that
references images, and the name of the XML file & image names and
filepaths can be rather arbitrary.
To help expand upon this section, I've included a link to
http://www.jirka.org/gdm-documentation/x1454.html for more information.
A cursory glance at the page indicates it to be informative...however,
if you find a more recent/better page, please let me know.
The official GDM documentation is a better resource and I can add that link.
4. Should probably take out the screensaver lock dialogs information
since I don't believe those are open for graphic design anymore. The
sprites can certainly be modified though.
I would like to keep the information available as the option to theme
the lock dialog image is still there and request for its consideration
was brought up during FC6.
And turned down. There are a number of usability issues that theming the
lock dialog bring about. We want a usable desktop first, then a 'pretty'
one.
However, as mentioned before, the Lock
dialog as well as the GNOME splash screen are turned off by default (fwiw).
Because of the usability issues.
