[Bug 343351] Re: Darken the screen towards end of timed confirmation dialog

[Mark Shuttleworth]

I agree with this request, and am upgrading the priority to High. I'll
ask that this be done for 9.10.

Ted, could you put this on your list, please? I'll update the
description to be a mini-spec.

** Summary changed:

- Darken the screen after logging out
+ Darken the screen towards end of timed confirmation dialog

** Changed in: fast-user-switch-applet (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => High

** Changed in: fast-user-switch-applet (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: fast-user-switch-applet
+ The confirmation dialogs on their own do not stand out from the crowd on
+ the desktop. Also, because they are timed, it is easy to leave them
+ there while thinking about something else, and one gets an "eek!"
+ experience when the time runs out unexpectedly.
  
- I am using Ubuntu Jaunty, and FUSA seems to have a new feature where,
- after clicking "Log out" or a similar option, you get a message box very
- much like the GKSU dialogue, informing you that the session will close
- in a minute unless you press cancel.
- 
- Though pleasing and informative, I think in order to improve visual
- integration it should use the same "darken screen" effect that GKSU
- uses.
+ So, please fade the background (everything behind the confirmation
+ dialog) between seconds 40 and 50, so that it is start black for the
+ last 10 seconds with just the confirmation dialog visible. Moving the
+ mouse alone should not pause the fade or the clock, clicking Cancel
+ should simply restore the brightness to the screen (smoothly, over about
+ 300ms), dismiss the dialog and abort the logout / shutdown / restart.
