Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

The gdm login screen has some issues that, although are not very important, it could be great if someone will fix it.

The text displayed when the user enters an incorrect username or password is red. This color is too dark and has low contrast with the brown background, so users with vision problems could find it difficult to read.

Moreover, that text appears too down in the screen, so it enters into the user/password gray box. It must be a little up.

And the text appearing when the user enters a wrong username/password with Caps Lock on, is a very long line of text. I think it could be better if we break the line in two lines.

I attach two screenshots illustrating the issues.

The red text must have a lighter color, and it must be a little up.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
