Idea #4785: Great login and logout animation

Written by natureflow the 16 Mar 08 at 10:51. Category: Look and Feel. Related project: Nothing/Others. Status: New
Rationale
When I login to my Desktop, the panel is "blinking". :-( I want a clear build-up: First may a nice Splash screen, then the background, than the panel, the Icons, etc. It should be nice feeling. Do you understand me? Please show me a movie of a great ubuntu login without "blinking" and so one. I want it smooth.

If I logout, I do not want to see a white text on a black background only for a bit of time. I want to see a nice logut animation. Please show me a movie of a nice logout with ubuntu.

I mean: NO extra startup movie clips on startup, but a clear build-up!

For the love of god.
Please no splash screens!

I’d rather have no sounds and definitely NO startup movie clips I’m forced to watch, and instead have a faster startup/shutdown …

Just keep everything as fast and as simple as possible.

fast and simple is good, but people do like a little bling here and there, so I dont see why something like this shouldnt be implemented... sure, it would have to be something thats not intrusive, but it could work...

something like the vista login would be pretty decent. just a suble fade in/out... even if it would have to stall at the gdm screen before that (ideally with some kind of progressbar of feedback cursor of some kind), it still beats watching your desktop load up with no icons and flickering panels and all that, and if you use the AWN dock, its opening isnt very proffessional (yet) either...

I dont think it should be too high a priority, but it would be nice to see in a future release...

Each component fades visible after loading? Let's evaluate this some more.. +1
