gdm has a dark grey (gray) background now

[Sebastien Bacher]

Using the GNOME 42 updates in proposed the login screen background is black, that feels buggy, we should revert to the old style

[Marco Trevisan (Treviño) (3v1n0)]

Not sure whether was a Yaru team design decision though, so before acting on that I'd like to hear their voice.

I guess we can discuss further upstream at https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/3473

[Frederik Feichtmeier (feichtmeier)]

We received several years bug reports of users who would like to move away from the aubgerine/pink screen at login.
This year, especially with the new philosophy to let the user decide on the accent colors, we thought that a neutral black would fit better.
Also we had this issue https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/2925 which we made after we had the impression the canonical design team wanted to move away from aubergine for the desktop.
Maybe the desktop team and the design team could have some sort of discussion on this topic? We can ofc revert this change if this is the consensus

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Whatever the final colour of the login screen is, remember we need to patch gnome-shell to inherit the same colour for its system background used briefly during the login animation.

[Richard Schneiderman (johnjohn101)]

I can't really see the password box. Can someone fix?

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

The password issue is another bug and got fixed by https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/pull/3513

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Won't fix per the upstream bug https://github.com/ubuntu/yaru/issues/3473

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

To be clear the contrast issue mentioned before is going to be fixed, just not the initial request to change the color back to purple

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Not sure which contrast issue you mean, but maybe it's bug 1965210 or bug 1965727?

[Daniel van Vugt (vanvugt)]

Oh, comment #7, that's bug 1965627.
