Binary package hint: ubuntu-gdm-themes

The new black Human Login theme in Jaunty isn't wide screen friendly.
The bottom right logo is too stretched on a wide screen.

I suggest to put a picture of just the logo with a transparent background at the right bottom so that it doesn't get resized.

Can you give me more information about your setup? Which resolution does your monitor do and which are you running? What physical size does your monitor have? Did you change any of these settings yourself or is this what came with the installation?

Can anyone else verify that this bug?

If possible can you send a screenshot?

The native resolution of my notebook's LCD display is 1280x800. This is set in xorg.conf.

The logo only looks "round" on 4:3 displays. On displays with a different aspect ratio such as 16:10 or 16:9 the logo is stretched.

Looking at your attachment, I would say it is more the way your eyes see the logo laying down like that than an actual problem. Compare that to the original (attached)...I don't see any real problem.

I've blended the 4:3 and the 16:10 "version" of the logo into one image. Do you see the difference now?

That's quite old; report with newer active version if needed
