The xrdp login doesn't look very nice.

A personal wish list would look like: Background: * allow a background image (which may be much larger than the actual screen) * define positioning of background image, e.g., by specifying a reference point (center, left/right top/bottom) and the position of that reference point in percent * support PNG as image format for all graphics (including alpha channel, i.e., transparencies) * mechanism to define different background images (+positioning) depending on the resolution Login dialogue: * allow to define an image which replaces the dialogue box (its size can thus also be defined freely) * allow to style input fields + buttons (via images, with normal/hover/pressed states) * free positioning of all text/field elements (relative to the dialogue area) ... maybe it would be simply possible to use a HTML/CSS render engine. Then everything could be styled accordingly.
W.r.t the texts, it would be great to be able to redefine them (dialogue header and labels for the entry fields). Support for localization would be nice, as well.
I'm in touch with upstream on various options to align the theme more to the one we use for KDM. I'll keep this bug updated.
In Bug 37760 / http://forum.univention.de/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=3751&p=13482 another feature was suggested: We could allow users to configure a custom login/logon disclaimer/banner (like /etc/motd or /etc/issue.net for SSH/tty logins) for XRDP.
*** Bug 37760 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
We're currently using all themebility options of the xrdp login screen. We'll coordinate with xrdp upstream to discuss further extensions/options.
