There is no synchronisation issue. But there is just too much stuff to be done between the initial background color and the actual background image is drawn. There are 2 things that take longer than 0.2 seconds: launching Canberra and playing the startup sound takes about 0.26 seconds and LightDM.get_layout () (line 81 in menubar.vala) takes about 0.20 seconds. So there was about a half second gap between those two backgrounds, unfotunately a ~0.1 second gap still remains.
The fact that the standard purple image is loaded at all, is a problem caused by appending the *other user to the user_list(which is the first user added, so the purple image is drawn) and then removing it later(which triggers a background redraw of the actual image). But still, unity-greeter will fade from the initial background color to the actual background image, because the fade time is set and i am not able to disable it and reset it later. :( But in my opinion that is no problem, the fade in actually looks nice. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/970024 Title: Unity Greeter has purple backgroundcolor before the background image is loaded To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/970024/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
