Customizing Question

XUbuntu Synaptic Login

Standard Debian Synaptic Login

Both running Greybird Theme
Same Font

Question: Does anyone know how to make the standard Debian Synaptic login dialog look like the XUbuntu one?

Re: Customizing Question

What are the differences ?
Password for root: vs Password:
I don't use XUbuntu but I think there is no root account.
The Icon :
In debian the icon is the synaptic icon. To get the defaut key icon, you must remove the line

    <icon_name>synaptic</icon_name> 

in /usr/share/polkit-1/actions/com.ubuntu.pkexec.synaptic.policy
Be careful, It's a system file.
This way, I don't get the same Icon, perhaps It's because I don't use Greybird Theme.
I think you can adjust other différences like font in Setting menu.

Re: Customizing Question

NO, don't care about the icon.

Visually,.... the size of the dialog window itself.

Re: Customizing Question

It looks like xubuntu (ubuntu) patches the code to make the string wrap at 70 characters. From https://changelogs.ubuntu.com/changelog … /changelog:

* Auth dialog: Make the label wrap at 70 chars.
    Because GtkWindow doesn't have a default width anymore.
    Thanks to Lars Uebernickel! (via Ubuntu)

The patch file is locate here:

Re: Customizing Question

Thanks ToZ.

This may be a bit beyond my capabilities. I'm not sure how to install, or patch with this.

Re: Customizing Question

I'm not that familiar with debian. Perhaps the debian forums would be a better place to ask about patching packages. I imagine it would involve using something like quilt.
