Package: gdm3 Version: 48.0-1 Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected] Tags: trixie sid While reporting a separate bug about the Debian logo shown at the gdm login prompt having poor contrast, I noticed that the accent colour (org/gnome/desktop/interface/accent-color in dconf-editor, Appearance -> Accent Colour in gnome-control-center) is one feature of the gdm login prompt that we can easily tweak if we want to. Should we? It's chosen from a limited palette of presets rather than being arbitrarily configurable, but the "teal" and "slate" choices look vaguely similar to the Ceratopsian theme. For example we could set up the default /etc/gdm3/greeter.dconf-defaults to include these uncommented lines: [org/gnome/desktop/interface] accent-color='teal' This affects the highlights in the System and Accessibility menus (top right corner), the highlight on today's date in the calendar, the focus rectangle around the selected user, and the focus rectangle around other active widgets like the password entry box, replacing the default sky blue: https://people.debian.org/~smcv/temp/2025/trixie-branding/teal-accent.png smcv
