I think the GDM login screen texture was intentional for Ubuntu 17.10. Please file separate bugs for separate issues. I count 3 separate issues here (the ripple, the login avatar alignment, the login texture).

I have solved the issue by appending an override to match the current ubuntu.css overrides as follows: .ripple-box { border-radius: 0px 0px 64px 0px !important; background: #e95420 !important; width:64px !important; height:64px !important; } .ripple-box:rtl { border-radius: 0px 0px 0px 64px !important; background: #e95420 !important; width:64px !important; height:64px !important; } The gdm login avatar alignment is also off by a couple of pixels and can be easily fixed by correcting the user icon margin setup like so: .framed-user-icon { margin: 4px 0px 0px 2px !important; padding: 0px 0px 0px 0px !important; } Another important factor in staying consistent with the overall aesthetics of the ubuntu design language would be to disable the use of the noise texture on gdm to provide a seamless transition from the plymouth boot splash onto the gdm login. Here is the override: #lockDialogGroup { background: #2c001e !important; } ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 17.10 Package: gnome-shell 3.26.1-0ubuntu4 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 4.13.0-16.19-generic 4.13.4 Uname: Linux 4.13.0-16-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.20.7-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: ubuntu:GNOME Date: Fri Oct 20 17:25:06 2017 DisplayManager: gdm3 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-10-20 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 17.10 "Artful Aardvark" - Release amd64 (20171018) SourcePackage: gnome-shell UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-shell/+bug/1725487/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
