Description Sander Devrieze 2003-09-05 13:34:22 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.1.2)
Installed from:    Gentoo Packages

Now standard the following icons are used in kdm:
share/apps/kdm/pics/users/default.png
share/apps/kdm/pics/users/root.png

I think more beautiful icons for the default user and root icon are interesting.

please mail me suggestions. 
 
Comment 2 Sander Devrieze 2003-09-14 15:22:40 UTC
I was thinking of an icon like share/icons/crystalsvg/128x128/apps/personal.png
but without you can see it's a male-female. For the root icon I should take the
same icon but black&white with eventually a red note of exclamation on the body
of the person.

Do you know the Mandrake Display Manager (mdkdm)? It's very nice. I like the 
different penguin user icons. It would also be nice if the login screen could 
easily be customized (for example the background image).

In KDE 3.2 there are more icons availible but as I haven't deleted my .kde3-dir, I c&n't confirm if the default icons also are changed. But if this is so, this bug may be closed.
Comment 5 Sander Devrieze 2004-06-27 18:36:27 UTC
I heard kde 3.3 will have more icons, but are the *standard* icons more beautiful in cvs now?

Yes they are beautiful.

So the standard icon for root is not anymore the grey ugly one? If so, this 
bug may be closed I think :-)

Comment 8 Ismail Donmez 2004-06-28 08:31:19 UTC
No default ones still the ugly ones but there are lots of cool ones that you can choose from and which are installed by default.
Comment 9 Sander Devrieze 2004-06-28 10:56:56 UTC
So: not yet fixed :-)
Comment 10 Adrien Facelina 2004-10-31 02:28:31 UTC
I was about to open a new list for it but maybe it isn't that appropriate.

As a KDE user and considering I do a lot of icons for my own use, I decided to release a set of consistent (same style) and varied user pictures for Kdm on kde-look.org : http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php?content=17355
I was asked to open a bug for this set in order it to be included in the next KDE release.
It does'nt include default ones for root or user (althought the icons with a key fitts wery vell for root).
Comment 11 Ismail Donmez 2004-11-01 10:39:53 UTC
I'm all for removing old ugly ones and add some , maybe all of the pics from 
Adrien's report.
Comment 12 Oswald Buddenhagen 2004-11-01 12:18:44 UTC
i'm against. ;)
Comment 13 Ismail Donmez 2004-11-01 13:18:30 UTC
Ah come on ossi :)

Give us some eye candy! :)
Comment 14 Oswald Buddenhagen 2004-11-01 18:22:34 UTC
i just define that http://developer.kde.org/~ossi/sw/kdm.html is enough. :-P
Comment 15 Ismail Donmez 2004-11-01 19:20:26 UTC
Come on ossi. We talk about "default" :)

Comment 16 Oswald Buddenhagen 2005-07-17 19:39:05 UTC
ok, this was open for long enough. there are two new regular user icons, but unfortunately nothing for root. too bad.
if somebody feels the urge to reopen this, reassign it to artwork.
