Login screen is suddenly left-aligned [SOLVED]

I'm running Waldorf on my Acer Aspire One laptop (model q1vzc). All of a sudden, the login screen is left aligned:

Everything else works fine, but I'm curious if this has happened to anybody else.

I believe that corenominal has changed it in a recent update, to accommodate dual monitor setups

Ok, so it's a feature, not a bug?

Guess so

If you want the original setup, here is the slim.theme

Not really a feature or bug (no change in functionality); just a change of theme.   The noise you see in the background is in the background image, not a symptom of any xorg-related borkage.

Symantec called bugs "well known limitations". This i like.

Maybe corenominal could add two themes to the package.
Maybe the cb-welcome or the autostart can check for dualscreen an set the right theme.

@jnarwhal

if ur problem is solved plz mark this post as solved

(u can also see that there are many slim themes dont even have the login inputs in the middle of the screen.
this is just waldorf's slim theme way)

Re: Login screen is suddenly left-aligned [SOLVED]

Ive got the same on my netbook after i made a new install of waldorf to get my partition in optimal way for me.

Iam only using one screen at my laptop rightnow, iam not having it hooked up with a tv, or anything.
But iam thinking of starting to use my laptop with xbmc sometimes to watch movies in one of my rooms
I just have to learn more about that, in windows it simple, and what i read so far , i guess its pretty simple to get it work in #! to

And yeah, i like it in the center for theme and eyecandyway instead of somthingelse.
