Hey,
The question is quite clear i think:
Why don't we have a themed "Screen Locked" anymore?
I was browsing through some old artwork (FC6) and found this:
http://people.redhat.com/dfong/fc6graphics/08screen.png
now i wonder why that wasn't in F7 and seems not to make it in F8 as
well... (i'm not reading anything about that on the art list).

That was a mockup, and I don't think the backend bits to support that
are in place.

Nope, we definitely had it working in F5 and its implementation is
described here:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Artwork/ThemingOverview#head-2414bc3393d60e...
Also, a quote from the same page: "Please don't focus on this graphic
piece as it's turned off by default in both upstream and Fedora's GNOME."

Just do
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-screensaver/lock_dialog_theme system
to get that dialog.
We turned it off by default, since some people were confused by it.

I just did it, and it looks really nice on my Rawhide desktop.

How can one be confused by such a thing?

I just did it as well and the theme didn't change at all here.. just
plain default (ugly)

Exactly what i'm wondering.. i'm confused that someone can get
confused by that ^_-
Will there be any changes for this in Fedora 8?

I'd rather see it configurable in gnome-screensaver-preferences.

I'd rather just see it configured as the default - it is certainly more
pleasant to look at than the current method.

If there is will to make it default, I am sure it will be trivial to get
one with the Infinity look made by the Art Team

I've just enabled it and it brings up F7 artwork no problem. So either the
artwork team have been making these and they have not been used or the code
uses some standard image to generate the look.

Of course, but I was talking about F8, where this dialog was not on the
"To Do" list.

The original implementation tied the greeter theme to the selected
screensaver, so that the fedora-branded dialog would only appear for the
"flying fedora" saver. That was what some people found confusing. Later,
the lock dialog theming was changed to be keyed off a gconf key.
FWIW, I don't think turning it on by default would be a problem.
3:40 p.m.
So this means that it's gonna be on for Fedora 8?
btw the theme Nicu Buculei made for it looks very good with it.
Good job, Nicu.
