Fake transparency support for widgets and session selector
badges are just two of improvements to arrive in the latest update to the
LightDM GTK+ Greeter.The login screen is used by a number of Ubuntu’s flavours,
including Xubuntu, but is entirely separate from the ‘Unity Greeter‘ used in
regular desktop Ubuntu.
Along with new options, including a new ‘border radius’
property, that gives designers and theme makers more to toy with, version 1.7.1
of the Greeter also debuts with a number of minor changes and small bug fixes
- Username tooltip tweaks
- Language applet now displays country code labels
- Login windows can no longer be positioned ‘off screen’
- Improvements to handling of xscreensaver timeout
- Login button set as “default” widget
Ubuntu (and associated flavours) users can upgrade to the latest release, version 1.7.1, using the official project’s stable PPA
