Those are really cool. I actually quite like the ubuntu login screen
as it is in Dapper, though it is a bit plain (lacking in bling). But
these designs have a real 'Mac OS but in warm ubuntu colours' feel to
them. I think I prefer Login Screen v3 out of all of them, the
background colour seems warmer than in v1 and v2, particularly in the
way the colour changes around the edges of the screen.
I don't think it has a "Mac OS but in warm Ubuntu colors" feel; Mac
OS's design is really less glossy and bling than it might seem.
Things like the welcome screen would, in Mac OS design, rather not
use large bevelled designs like this one, since those are mostly
reserved for smaller screen elements (in 10.4). I'm not saying his
designs are bad, though, just that I don't think they're "Mac OS-
like". Maybe a little.
I personally would prefer it if the foreground shapes would be
visually above the background layer a little more. It seems like it
could use a little more contrast. I also kind of miss the large black
bar at the bottom that clearly separated the login box from the other
options (although I loathed the drop down menu that was introduced in
Dapper). I'll make some visual suggestions tonight.
PS: I'm back from a three-week holiday, and wasn't able to contribute
any artwork. Strangely enough, that wallpaper I made wasn't included
in the wikipage of wallpapers, even though apparently someone
wikified contributions for people who couldn't wikify them
themselves. Maybe it got caught up somewhere in a deleted wikipage?
