<!-- A sentence or two summarizing what this feature is and what it will do. This information is used for the overall feature summary page for each release. --><br />
Replace current Gnome display Manager with FreeDesktop's LightDM <br />
<br />

* Name: [[User:FASAcountName| Your Name]]<br />
<br />
<!-- Include you email address that you can be reached should people want to contact you about helping with your feature, status is requested, or technical issues need to be resolved--><br />
* Email: <your email address so we can contact you, invite you to meetings, etc.><br />
<br />
== Current status ==<br />

* Last updated: (DATE)<br />
* Percentage of completion: XX%<br />

<br />
== Detailed Description ==<br />
<!-- Expand on the summary, if appropriate. A couple sentences suffices to explain the goal, but the more details you can provide the better. --><br />
The older gnome releases (pre 2.18, i think) had customizable login themes. This feature had regressed during gnome 2 overhaul. LightDM brings themes back to the login page.<br />
<br />
<br />
== Benefit to Fedora ==<br />
<!-- What is the benefit to the platform? If this is a major capability update, what has changed? If this is a new feature, what capabilities does it bring? Why will Fedora become a better distribution or project because of this feature?--><br />
Improved user experience, personalize login screen.<br />
<br />
== Scope ==<br />
<!-- What work do the developers have to accomplish to complete the feature in time for release? Is it a large change affecting many parts of the distribution or is it a very isolated change? What are those changes?--><br />
<br />
== How To Test ==<br />
<!-- This does not need to be a full-fledged document. Describe the dimensions of tests that this feature is expected to pass when it is done. If it needs to be tested with different hardware or software configurations, indicate them. The more specific you can be, the better the community testing can be. <br />
<br />
Remember that you are writing this how to for interested testers to use to check out your feature - documenting what you do for testing is OK, but it's much better to document what *I* can do to test your feature.<br />
<br />
A good "how to test" should answer these four questions:<br />
<br />
0. What special hardware / data / etc. is needed (if any)?<br />
1. How do I prepare my system to test this feature? What packages<br />
need to be installed, config files edited, etc.?<br />
2. What specific actions do I perform to check that the feature is<br />
working like it's supposed to?<br />
3. What are the expected results of those actions?<br />
--><br />
<br />
== User Experience ==<br />
<!-- If this feature is noticeable by its target audience, how will their experiences change as a result? Describe what they will see or notice. --><br />
They can write their own login themes or use one that is available. On applying a login theme, they will see the gnome login theme in the user login screen as soon as the system boots.<br />
<br />
== Dependencies ==<br />
<!-- What other packages (RPMs) depend on this package? Are there changes outside the developers' control on which completion of this feature depends? In other words, completion of another feature owned by someone else and might cause you to not be able to finish on time or that you would need to coordinate? Other upstream projects like the kernel (if this is not a kernel feature)? --><br />
<br />
== Contingency Plan ==<br />
<!-- If you cannot complete your feature by the final development freeze, what is the backup plan? This might be as simple as "None necessary, revert to previous release behaviour." Or it might not. If you feature is not completed in time we want to assure others that other parts of Fedora will not be in jeopardy. --><br />
<br />
== Documentation ==<br />
<!-- Is there upstream documentation on this feature, or notes you have written yourself? Link to that material here so other interested developers can get involved. --><br />
*<br />
<br />
== Release Notes ==<br />
<!-- The Fedora Release Notes inform end-users about what is new in the release. Examples of past release notes are here: http://docs.fedoraproject.org/release-notes/ --><br />
<!-- The release notes also help users know how to deal with platform changes such as ABIs/APIs, configuration or data file formats, or upgrade concerns. If there are any such changes involved in this feature, indicate them here. You can also link to upstream documentation if it satisfies this need. This information forms the basis of the release notes edited by the documentation team and shipped with the release. --><br />
*<br />
<br />
== Comments and Discussion ==<br />
* See [[Talk:Features/YourFeatureName]] <!-- This adds a link to the "discussion" tab associated with your page. This provides the ability to have ongoing comments or conversation without bogging down the main feature page --><br />
<br />
<br />
[[Category:FeaturePageIncomplete]]<br />
<!-- When your feature page is completed and ready for review --><br />
<!-- remove Category:FeaturePageIncomplete and change it to Category:FeatureReadyForWrangler --><br />
<!-- After review, the feature wrangler will move your page to Category:FeatureReadyForFesco... if it still needs more work it will move back to Category:FeaturePageIncomplete--><br />
