Yeah, it is all subjective.

I thought the new gdm was a little dull, but an interesting proof of
concept.

The background looked like something you might use in grub (the color
space looked very shallow) and as a use of a 1920 x 1200 display, the
design looked stretched and pixelated.

You can't imagine my surprise to find out that the default background
was the same thing (but claims to be for screens 2560x1600).  On my
screen, it looks like someone tried to stretch a 160x100 image to fill
my screen.

I'm a little amazed that everyone picking on gdm, and wondering what
their backgrounds look like, because mine looks anything but crisp and
yummy.
