I forgot to include photos to illustrate my point of the before and after. They are attached to this comment.

I agree.  Login screen way to large.  

 Issue 779653  has been merged into this issue.

I believe wallpaper should still be shown in the after image (ie, it should not be just black), +wzang@/rkc@ to confirm

I believe this wallpaper was set from the Admin panel? If so, in M63 we removed the blur for device policy wallpapers and this wallpaper is going to look like screenshot 1.

In terms of the after image, it seems that after dimming and blur, this wallpaper looks like completely black in the photo. I did an experiment. See screenshot 2.

If you believe this is indeed a black screen, could you send a screenshot of the before/after image? My simulation was based on the photos so it may not be accurate.

@wzang
This will be fixed in m63 stable or should it work in m63 beta?
Seem like there is a duplicate  bug 782676 .

Downloaded the beta channel today, and no more blur, huzzah! I look forward to the stable update so the rest of the school's devices can have the same benefit. Thanks again!

Any update on reducing the size of the Sign In Screen?

We will not be resizing the login screen, as it is designed to match Google sign-in across all devices. We'll continue investigating ways to allow more distinct branding of devices.

For me it's not a branding issue.  It just seems so large and old-school
looking.  I think it's a step backward.

Agreed!The new login window takes up SO much screen real estate and has 0 reason to do so from a functionality stand point. I am confused though, when I add a user on my PC to my chrome browser, the login screen looks like the older, thinner version. This seems to go against what is stated in comment 12.

There's no reason for such a large login window. I can appreciate the attempt to have a design to match all devices. Then just make them smaller everywhere! Even the smaller versions depicted in this thread have too much whitespace.
