"Login" button is smaller than the "Cancel" button in the GDM theme

This is a really weird bug, looks like the size of the "Login" button is defined independently of other buttons. The problem does not seem to occur anywhere else.

Does anyone have any ideas?

The issue appears to be in the theming.
"Cancel" is a stock button and is not behaving as the non-stock "Log In"

The lines that are causing the difference in size are in /usr/share/themes/HumanLogin/gtk-2.0/gtkrc:
  GtkButton::default_border = { 3, 3, 3, 3 }
  GtkButton::default_outside_border = { 3, 3, 3, 3 }

These set the border for buttons that can be the default selection - should these be replaced with inner_border if the idea is just to make the buttons bigger?

@Robert Ancell

Thanks for having a look at this. Suggested solution would be to drop the non-stock button for login and use a stock button (without the icon) instead. Would you say that's feasible?

@ kwwii

Any thoughts on this?

We should change whatever we need to to fix this. I tried to fix it already but couldn't find any industrial theme which didn't have this problem.

After testing, Roberts suggestion proves to fix the problem (yeah!). Changed in the current lp:human-theme

Woo-hoo!

Nice work kwwii & thanks @Robert Ancell!

I added an updated branch that has the button style, bg entry and glow as the original mock up. Please let me know if this is what was planned as I can tweak the theme some more? More glow can be easily added to the buttons if needed. Cancel and login buttons are the same as in the mock up with the cancel having an insensitive look.

bzr branch lp:~dashua/human-theme/humantheme
