Description Sebastian Vahl 2008-04-06 23:30:50 UTC 
Description of problem:
KDE4/circles is quite ugly. It breaks with consistency with the default fedora 
theme (waves for F9) from grub, rhgb, ksplash and default wallpaper. Because 
there will likely be no gdm theme to adopt, we could use the non-themed kdm 
instead.

For this I've modified /etc/kde/kdmrc:

LogoArea=Logo
LogoPixmap=/usr/share/icons/hicolor/96x96/apps/fedora-logo-icon.png
GreetString=Welcome to Fedora 9 Sulphur"
UserList=true
UseBackground=true
UseTheme=false
ColorScheme=Oxygen

The background in the screenshot is taken from here: 
http://duffy.fedorapeople.org/temp/from-below.7.png
(There seems to be no default background image for the moment).

Additional notes: 
This seems to look fine on a CRT with 4:3. The screenshots are taken from 
vmware with a resolution of 1280x1024. But I'm not able to test this on TFTs 
with a 16/10 resolution.

I think we should be using one of the backgrounds which actually went into 
desktop-backgrounds, see:

Sure. We should use the default wallpaper from Waves theme (like there was 
existing one for Infinity). And also the ColorScheme should maybe be adjusted 
to match waves artwork.
The screenshots above were only an example.
