The background currently used is temporary, the correct background will be implemented shortly. Also, we can't use two backgrounds (which one would you see in the autologin case?). ** Changed in: xsplash (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid ** Changed in: xsplash Status: Confirmed

Hmm, I'd say, in the autologin case, it should stick with the boot-stage background all the way up to the desktop. This would match the existing behavior of autologin without xsplash -- that is, it goes from usplash to desktop, skipping the gdm background entirely. -- Xsplash only uses the

The new startup infrastructure will be landing in Karmic soon.. but basically, X11 will be starting earlier than before and you're going to be seeing xsplash for longer than you're seeing it now. You won't be seeing usplash in most cases. Design team will be providing updated media in the near

So you can now change the background that's used on the command-line. We will not be supporting using the user's desktop background in Karmic (or probably ever) because it will involve making connections to gconf and reading keys out of it, and we're trying to minimize this type of thing in order

Uhh, also forgot to mention.. the transition should be smoother now since xsplash now works to avoid 'flickering' between the splash screen and the desktop background by using some XComposite related hacks. ** Changed in: xsplash Status: New = Won't Fix ** Changed in: xsplash (Ubuntu)

The only oddity now is that it still switches back and forth between xsplash and gdm-background several times. I believe xsplash should at least follow the gdm user's background -- that is, the background used at the login screen itself. Try it yourself (change the gdm user's background to

To clarify, what I mean by 'several times' is that you see xsplash (brown), and then login screen (blue, in my case). Once you log in, it then shows brown, then blue, then the user's wallpaper. A nicer behavior would be to have at least the _second_ instance of xsplash (between gdm and

Well, we can use a different image for the different xsplash stages if we want to. For example, look at /etc/gdm/Init/Default (before gdm greeter shows) and /etc/gdm/PreSession/Default (after gdm greeter, going into user session) We can set a different background image on the command line

Cody , from what i understood , Mat is designing the Boot experience to use a *Single Background* for boot , gdm While the boot uses the overlay of the throbber , the gdm will use the overlay of the user list. So that background image is better to use than the default wallpaper for all these
