Hi desktop developers, This may or may not be a bug - it's a question of aesthetics, I think. When using SDDM as my login manager on Debian trixie, I felt that on the login idle screen -- which appears after ~60 seconds of inactivity -- the Debian name and logo and in the lower third of the display seems kind of incongruous to me.
In particular, the black background behind the logo and text seems in contrast to the gradually-transitioned colour styles elsewhere. Another issue that perhaps exaggerages this is that the padding on the left and right of the logo container box both seem quite narrow. Some of this is configured using a theme.conf file provided by the sddm-theme-debian-breeze package. Unfortunately I do not think that simply making the black logo background transparent would solve the problem, because the results might provide low text-colour contrast (gray text on the light-ish blue text in particular). The mailing list rules note no large attachments; and indeed a ~296K attachment did not appear to reach the mailing list during my previous attempt to post here. As such, please find a screenshot uploaded to my fork of plasma-desktop on Salsa: https://salsa.debian.org/jayaddison/plasma-desktop/-/blob/13e4bda4532e4ec278a6bafbf28e6c423799010d/debian/uploads/sddm-debian-logo-idle.png (NB: to capture this, I used xwd with a tiny bash script that sleeps for 90 seconds or so, run while su'd to the sddm user from a tty. the sleep is required because switching back from the tty to the X console and then leaving it idle is necessary for a successful repro and capture of the idle screen) Regards, James
