[Bug 828733] [NEW] LightDM "ubuntu" theming is off-brand (font, dots, CoF, spacing, step-down)

 

Public bug reported:

The themeing used for the LightDM login screen appears to be off-brand;
current it includes the following text in the bottom-left:

  "ubuntu <small>11.10</small>"

Ideally the rendering of this could be improved, to be inline with the
branding used in the rest of the Ubuntu project:

  1. Ubuntu Regular should be used (not heavier)
  2. Circle of Friends added in correct position  (to create visual space before '11.10')
  3. Step-down in font-size for '11.10' is different to the step-down designated by the "brand-extensions" guidelines
  4. Background dot-pattern overlay should be blocked out within the logo exclusion zone
  5. Colour choice could be tweaked to give a sharper 'white' warm gray feel
