blank ariya wallpaper for lightdm

[josephk]

It's worth trying to use the blank ariya version (used for Plymouth) for the default 12.10 lightdm theme. Primary concern is that it may look too dull.

------------------------

this is not a bug and I'm sorry for that. It's just that I can't find the proper venue to popose this wish.

Since we have the custom "Kubuntu" kspalsh theme that integrates perfectly with the plymouth one

it could be a great quality touch to set it as default into kubuntu-default-settings package, so we have a streamlined, coherent art from boot-up to login

Other nice changes to apport:

rewrite it in qml
set lightdm-kde-greeter background to be the same as the plymouth/kspalsh one (important!)
set it as the desktop wallpaper too (also good to give to quantal a distinctive look)
set it as the background of grub2 too

thanks,
alex

should be thought about

> set it as the desktop wallpaper too (also good to give to quantal a distinctive look)

no. the desktop wallpaper is already the same except it has stripes to add drama which is important from an artistical point of view.

> set it as the background of grub2 too

no. it makes startup as a whole entirely slower for all operating systems one may own and start via grub.

oops! "apport": I tought it was an english verb. no, it it's not, sorry! I meant to port "kubuntu" ksplash theme to qml.

you can easily try kubuntu kspalsh theme and lightdm ariya background in your setup. It's nice, homogeneous, coherent.

One more thing, not concerning this report but kubuntu-default-settings.

It could be good to change home, documents, music, videos, download and pictures icons with the customized oxygen folders.

Also start button could show kubuntu logo instead of the K.
