GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 683170
screenShield: Zoom out on login
Last modified: 2012-09-04 21:44:00 UTC
Talking with the designers on IRC showed that the screen shield suddenly disappearing was a bit sudden. Myself, I wasn't expecting such a fast transition to user land (I'm used to waiting for a long time, not that the new behavior is a bad thing!). Make a simple new animation that zooms out the dialog on login. This will also happen for the gdm transition if I'm reading the code right. We can disable this, but I'm not sure it's bad behaviour :)

Make ourselves more shell-like by resizing out the screen shield according to mockups. Fix whitespace issue, and make sure to reset lock dialog group's scale when done.
Review of attachment 223163 [details] [review]: Code is fine, but look at http://www.youtube.com/watch?list=UU4Ys3RMozzDVP6KoTjBTn4Q&feature=player_detailpage&v=BFo0s2wnyj4#t=37s This is not according to the mockups: the login/unlock dialog (_lockDialogGroup) should slide up, and the desktop (global.window_group is a good approximation, I think) should be scaled from 0 to 1. So up to you. Commit if you get UI freeze break and designer approval.
