Yes, that is the plan. Time was running short in the GNOME 2.22 schedule. However, we have a bit more time in the F9 schedule so we can solve the major regressions. > I ask this from the perspective of the Art Team, we approach a deadline > (in about a week) when the desktop theme is supposed to be complete so > is important for us to know *how* gdm will be themed. > My understanding is that theming in the new gdm is much simpler (just a > background image and the rest is done from Gtk+), could someone provide > additional info? Right. We run a gnome-settings-daemon in the greeter so that we pick up the system gconf defaults for background, icon theme, metacity theme, gtk theme, etc. So, whatever work you do to get the desktop themes tweaked will be inherited by the GDM greeter. One advantage of this is that the transition from greeter to a default session is pretty smooth. The background doesn't change, the icons/colors/etc don't change, and the gnome-panel slides into view. If for some reason we want to customize the greeter we can still do that. One way is to do something similar to what we did for the gnome-screensaver dialog. We can modify the glade file and provide a gtkrc. One extra bit of theming/branding that I added upstream (not in rawhide yet) is the ability to specify a logo icon name to use in place of the computer monitor image on the greeter login dialog. We could add the the Fedora logo there for example. What do you think?
