Description of problem: When switching to high contrast mode in lightdm the two icons on the bottom right are replaced with "red X" error icons Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora-18-Beta-i686-Live-XFCE.iso lightdm 1.4.0 Release 2.fc18 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. boot Fedora-18-Beta-i686-Live-XFCE.iso live usbstick 2. switch to high contrast icons Actual results: fallback "red X" icons are shown Expected results: high contrast or regular versions of the icons should be shown Additional info:
that should have been "top right" not "bottom right"
The bug here is due to two things: - The Xfce spin doesn't come with gnome-themes-standard which provides the HighContrast GTK and icon themes. - lightdm-gtk-greeter wants to use the HighContrastInverse themes which aren't available in Fedora 18: lightdm-gtk-greeter-1.3.1/src/lightdm-gtk-greeter.c (lines 595-596) g_object_set (gtk_settings_get_default (), "gtk-theme-name", "HighContrastInverse", NULL); g_object_set (gtk_settings_get_default (), "gtk-icon-theme-name", "HighContrastInverse", NULL); So it fails to set both the GTK and icon themes for the 'High contrast' option.
So, sounds like one plan forward would be to patch lightdm-gtk-greeter.c to use HighContrast instead, and add Requires: gnome-themes-standard any comment/objection to that?
sounds reasonable, HighContrastInverse has been dropped with commit 100cbbc74a0a812b103a823dc510833a7ce6b9d8 Or we could also use another inverse theme.
in a perfect world, the gtk/icon theme to be used here would be configurable, but meh. HighContrast it is. %changelog * Fri Dec 07 2012 Rex Dieter <rdieter> 1.3.1-3 - missing icons in high-contrast mode (#881352)

Re-opening, because this is now broken again, because gnome-themes-extra (which contained the GTK 3 HighContrast icon theme that lightdm-gtk uses) has been retired. I am going to have to drop the dependency from the lightdm-gtk package to make it installable again. To fix this, gnome-themes-extra needs to be brought back, or just the HighContrast theme could be pulled out and shipped in another package or in lightdm-gtk , or some other high contrast icon theme that is still maintained could be used instead (I'm not aware of any, though).
