With that you just invalidated your point above about "trying to provide a single look for the GNOME 3 release rather than a series of looks", all this "using the upstream" make sense *only* if everybody that matters is doing it. > My proposal is is straightforward: > > Once you select a user and log in to GNOME, you get the GNOME default > background. All other artwork follows normal Fedora procedures. So by default I get a GDM with vertical stripes and when choosing anything else than GNOME Shell (be it the classic panel or Xfce), the background image will change, while if I go to use the Shell, the background stays consistent? That's treating everything else as second-class. > While there are some mockups about how we'd like GDM to look like to > match the rest of GNOME 3 (See > http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell-design/plain/mockups/static/user-selector.png > ) they aren't going to be implemented in this cycle, so there's already > a visual transition between the login screen and the desktop. So we make so much noise for an incomplete desktop. It look to me like GNOME 3 is not ready enough to receive such strong promotion. -- nicu :: http://nicubunu.ro :: http://nicubunu.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ design-team mailing list design-team@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/design-team
