Closed sevachka closed 8 years ago

Hey,

I love your theme.. as you might already know. :) Politely I wanted to ask you to switch to another wallpaper for the GDM-login screen. This one looks just too much iOS like... for my taste. :)

You should consider to accept paypal donations. :)

Please suggest me what kind of wallpaper is better, everyone :+1:

You can also change background image by yourself:

  1. Download and extract source code archive from here.
  2. Replace noise-texture.png in extracted gnome-shell directory with same name.

  3. In terminal, move to gnome-shell directory.

    $ cd ~/Downloads/Flat-Plat/gnome-shell

  4. Make new binary file.

    $ ./gnome-shell-theme.gresource.sh

  5. Replace an existing file with a generated file.

    $ cp gnome-shell-theme.gresource /usr/share/gnome-shell
  6. Restart GNOME Shell. (press Alt+F2, then type r)

PS: I'll consider about donations, thanks. :smiley:

Any material-ish is fine.

good comment! :D It really took me long to look for a simple but yet not boring wallpaper. I do not want a very dark wallpaper since notebook screens are usually not high-quality ones and I absolutely dislike "glowing" corners etc.... I took a look at deviant-art (for inspiration or maybe the creater offers nicely to use his wallpaper). This are the ones I did like with my GDM-login screen:

  1. http://www.deviantart.com/art/Xeon-SLiM-Theme-327079468
  2. http://www.deviantart.com/art/Caledonia-KDM-215292557

I could imagine these two wallpapers for your GDM-login.

Thank you again for your work!

but these wallpapers don't comply with GPLv3.

sevachka commented 8 years ago

Simple as they are, I do not see any reason not to "re-draw" them.

sevachka commented 8 years ago

is there an easy to keep the original gdm-wallpaper and use your login-design? :)

sevachka commented 8 years ago

By the way: meanwhile I use a solid color background. I like it because it doesn´t show backlight bleed on LCD-Screens and yet it is still nice to the eye. Probably I´d prefer an ever darker color. But just a tad.

I am terribly sorry about responding so late... Now, I changed GDM wallpaper based on Material Design color pallet with slight radial gradient. image

What do you think? Is it OK? You guys comments became very helpful resource. :smile:
