I've already made a GDM login screen that matches with the rest of my LCARS themes: http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/LCARS-Desktop+GDM+(Widescreen)?content=92137
Unfortunately the only monitors I have access to are 1280x800, so I have some difficulty making good-looking backgrounds and login screens for other resolutions.
As for splash screens, honestly, I can't stand them. The first thing I do is disable the splash screens on pretty much anything with that option (including booting with the "nosplash" option). But if there's sufficient demand for one I'll see about making an LCARS splash screen.
As for that Conky script, if you feel like sending it my way that'd be nice. My e-mail address is my username at gmail.com. |

Or better yet I'll just start working on an LCARS icon theme. That'll take a while, but it's probably a tidier and more satisfying solution in the end. |

I hadn't even noticed that it changed that icon...
In the LCARS-Desktop download there's a small UFP logo called "menu.png" that should be a suitable replacement. I'll see about trying to tinker with the GTK theme and integrate that. |

I opted for RAR simply because (in my experience) it has the highest compression ratio. And I'm generally not opposed to using proprietary formats when they work and are sufficiently common that anyone has easy access to applications for them (like mp3 and rar for instance). Whether or not people choose to install and use those applications is really not under my control...
But since you asked I've replaced it with a .zip. Hopefully that's free enough? |

OO seems to use the GTK theme in a very weird, awkward-to-configure way. It uses the same colour for the text on the controls and for the text-entry. This means that it's virtually impossible to have a dark control theme if you still want black text on a white background for when you're writing.
The dark grey on black was the closest I could come to something usable without sacrificing the white background/dark text for the page. Hopefully a later version of OO will correct the way it uses the GTK theme colours. |

I think I've fixed the problem. For some reason OO.org uses the same text colour for the control buttons and for the text-entry on the page.
I've forked the GTK theme over to here:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php?content=92578
LCARS-Desktop now uses LCARS-GTK as its default control theme.
If there are any more GTK-related bugs please leave comments over there. |

In the meantime you can download this theme:
http://www.gnome-look.org/content/show.php/Industrial+white+black++?content=91638
and use it. The colours work with the LCARS stylings, and it'll do as a work-around until I get my theme sorted out. |

Hmm... that's a problem all right. It looks like it's a problem with the normal OO icons not being used. I'll try to figure out a solution ASAP. Thanks for bringing it to my attention! |
