Subject: xdm background too loud: less obtrusive screen desired
Delivered-To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Package: xbanner
Version: 1.31-19
Severity: wishlist
The default background of xdm login screen
is a tad loud to my taste, and I suspect to others as well.
(Actually, this is NOT a default of `xdm', but
obviously `xbanner' package has modified
xdm startup configuration, and thus I am sending
this wishlist report to xbanner maintainer.)
I investigated a little and found that
the startup script uses
/etc/X11/xdm/Xsetup
to run XBanner to show background as in
/usr/X11R6/bin/xbanner -file /etc/X11/XBanner.ad
(quoted from Xsetup.).
The configuration in Xbanner.ad, then,
have much to be desired.
Now, the XBanner.ad uses
the color red for the title "Debian" and
the background is a gradient color from red, green to blue
and then back to red. Very colorful.
And TOO colorful indeed to my taste and I suspect to
some others as well.
Attached is a diff that somewhat uses
less loud color combination for the background
and smoother title.
(The smoother font requires xfonts-scalable package to
be downloaded, though.)

PS: I think there was a problem in Debian package
directory sometime this year.
(This includes testing.)
I have xbanner downloaded somehow without my explicit
awareness.
After a series of operations, namely
apt-get -u update
apt-get -u upgrade
on the next xdm session, I saw this VERY COLORFUL
xdm screen and was quite surprised...
I wonder if, for a short period of time, the
package dependency relationship was screwed up somewhere, but
I digress.
I probaby had installed xbanner before, but it again probably
had very quite background until this unintended (on my part)
update???.
I was so puzzled about this, that I sent a previous mail
to `xdm' maintainer by mistake.
Also I noticed that xfonts-scalable was probably NOT a required
package of old xbanner package. (The reason I think so is that
my scalable font directory was EMPTY until I realize that
xbanner was responsible for this jaggy "Debian" characters
on the background and when I tinkered with setup to
use smoother fonts, I noticed that I didn't have
any scalable font at all. So I had to manually download such
fonts. I suspect that the dependency on scalable font was
missing from early "test" distribution(?).
After downloading xbanner manually, I noticed that
the package seems to refer to xfonts-scalable now.
(But then on the other hand, I wonder why xbanner was NOT
downloaded automagically when I tried
apt-get -u update
apt-get -u upgrade
a few times in the last several weeks. A mystery to me.)
PS: I know some people might think this request is frivolous, but
the outlook of GUI, and its color balance is very important.
I hope someone with more artistic talent (AND
human-machine interface design experience) will
polish up the xdm screen!
Thank you in advance for your attention.
