http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/item/7004/ Maybe just add background picture similar to login screen.

UPDATE:
Let us say that "lock" screen is not matching with rest of the system. I am not saying that there must be background picture. I just don't like current gray box. At least “lock” screen should match theme colour and contains Ubuntu logo. It would be useful to get more ideas how to make it nicer.

You can set a custom picture if you wanted by setting your screensaver to F-spot then play around with the settings within F-Spot.]]> Mon, 14 Apr 2008 19:29:35 +0000

I installed that lock by following this tutorial: http://ubuntu-tutorials.com/2007/09/22/ubuntu-human-gnome-screensaver-lock-dialog-theme/

The tutorial asks you to download a file, but provides a 404 when you try. A copy of that file is available here: http://www.mavrev.com/tmp/gnome-screensaver-human-rounded.tar.gz

This should absolutely be included in future versions of Ubuntu.]]> Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:56:50 +0000

I don't need anything fancy, I'd just like it to match the the system theme (Login screen and/or the system theme). The tutorial that John Karahalis points us toward is precisely what I am looking for.

Personally I don't like the human theme and changing it is the first thing I do when I install Ubuntu. But the human-theme-lock-screen tutorial is exactly the right idea.]]> Mon, 12 May 2008 15:44:14 +0000 Tue, 17 Jun 2008 01:30:52 +0000 Mon, 08 Sep 2008 18:24:30 +0000 At least “lock” screen should match theme colour

It does. Change your theme in Appearance Preferences and the colors of the lock screen will change, too.]]> Tue, 18 Nov 2008 01:34:45 +0000
This seems like a very good idea and would fix the problem better than solution 2 from the description.]]> Tue, 04 Aug 2009 20:09:12 +0000
