That is coming along nicely I must say. It's definitely something  
I'll pick up to "polish" a bit if you don't have the time to do so.  
Some things I'd try adding would be the "burnt edges", e.g. a small  
gradient to a darker tint at the edges like in the lsplash and trying  
some gloss on the bottom bar.

Overall, I think it's a very good attempt at improving Dapper's GDM  
theme to fit in with the lsplash. The gloss over the logo fits in  
with the trademark curve (I wouldn't have expected otherwise from  
you) and it runs nicely across both the circle of friends and the  
text logo, all the while retaining the legibility.

Thanks for submitting this!

Sincerely,

Frank
