Update theme for Unity Greeter
Last modified: 2014-06-12 09:19:34 CEST
The Unity greeter in UCC 1.0 was a very early version, we applied a series of patches to fix some UI glitches. The Unity greeter in 14.04 is a lot more mature, but there's still at least the UI tweak for session selection we needs to be migrated to the new version. For reference the old patches: ./unity-greeter/3.1-0-0-ucs/0.2.9-0ubuntu1-ucc/60_change_theme.patch ./unity-greeter/3.1-0-0-ucs/0.2.9-0ubuntu1-ucc/10_prevent-restart.patch ./unity-greeter/3.1-0-0-ucs/0.2.9-0ubuntu1-ucc/20_user-login.patch ./unity-greeter/3.1-0-0-ucs/0.2.9-0ubuntu1-ucc/30_dark_top_menubar.patch ./unity-greeter/3.1-0-0-ucs/0.2.9-0ubuntu1-ucc/40_change_alpha_colors.patch ./unity-greeter/3.1-0-0-ucs/0.2.9-0ubuntu1-ucc/50_adwaita_theme.patch
Most changes could not be integrated directly - there were to many code changes in unity-greeter. I have adapted patches where applicable and restored the theme to match the UCC 1 theme. Noticeable cosmetic changes: - The 'Session' text is now located inside the button itself. This had not been done in UCC 1 due to time constraints Code changes in the 14.04 greeter version have the following impact to the greeter look: - The 'Back' button is not in the session chooser window, but to its left. - The default session is now denoted in the session chooser window. For UCC 2, the session name is 'UCC', but the greeter displays 'UCC (Default)' - Messages are displayed above the login prompt textfield. The current layout specification prevents it to be easily moved below the login-box. svn/patches/unity-greeter/3.2-0-0-ucs/14.04.10-0ubuntu1-ucc/10-theme_changes_for_ucc.patch 14.04.10-0ubuntu1.13.201405191239
Looks very nice and the session selection is much more obvious now. Successfully tested with the thin client and desktop image.
