These are some gorgeous designs.  Someone has commented (on the wiki) that they would prefer some 2D designs, declaring they are more "classic".  I'm not sure I agree...Why would we want to be "classic"?  I hope the commenter will explain a bit further...

<br>I've prepared one of the login screen artwork proposal for testing, in<br>case anyone wants to try it out.<br><br>You can download it from here.<br><br><a href="http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/4506/login02ll5.png">http://img58.imageshack.us/img58/4506/login02ll5.png

<br>how to proceed.<br><br>Drop both artworks in the /usr/share/gdm/themes/xubuntu folder. Rename<br>them to background.png and the text. png.<br><br>Open the xubuntu.xml file in mousepad and look for the<br><br>&lt;!-- ubuntu logo --&gt;

<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/item&gt;<br><br>and change the height to 12% (the default is 15% but I found at 12%<br>the logo looks better)<br><br>Then proceed to the<br><br>&lt;!-- password box --&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;item type=&quot;rect&quot;&gt;

<br><br>And finally find this section<br><br> &lt;normal font=&quot;Bitstream Vera Sans Bold 10&quot; color=&quot;#000000&quot;/&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;stock type=&quot;username-label&quot;/&gt;<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&lt;/item&gt;
