gnome-screensaver

I installed electricsheep and xscreensaver, started everything up and was amazed and mesmerized for several minutes staring into the beautiful fractile universe,

When all the sudden I moved my mouse and was HORRIFIED by a noisy hideous monster?!?!

no anti aliasing , ugly white box!!! horribly pixelization IN MY FACE

I'm referring to the disgusting xscreensaver unlock box, that seemingly several users have been trying to theme...

But I don't want to theme it. I want my Beautiful Ubuntu unlock screen!

My thoughts are that if I could use electricsheep with the gnome-screensaver then that would fix my problem.

Any takers?

I am trying to get the X screensaver gltext to monitor my system temp and maybe some other stats. Writing a script that puts together the stats periodically is no problem, but the main thing I'm running into is that gltext doesn't refresh - whatever text I feed it stays there. So, for example, I… >>> More
