I believe the login screen should have a screen saver feature. EVE online's login screens are beautiful: let our monitors enjoy it more!

How it works
-At the login prompt, if no activity is detected after 1 min ( user could customize the delay in the settings), the whole UI fades out and only the background and music keeps going. It's simple to implement and more reason to leave our client running!

I don't see the point of the DEVs spending ANY time improving the EVE experience at times when you are NOT LOGGED IN. What is the point? The game starts when you log in, in my opinion, and doing anything to make the login screen more "pretty" is just useless fluff that doesn't matter.

Let's fix some of the real issues and leave the fluff to WoW players.

Well then, allow me to "show" you my point:

Two things can be displayed on a monitor:
1. None-EVE related content
2. EVE related content.

If it's non-EVE content, fine. User's choice. But if it's EVE related, I rather have dynamic content displayed than static content (wallpaper, image-base screen savers, etc.) Since CCP has ALREADY put efforts in making good-looking login screens, I don't see how making it standout "useless". Displaying a sleek animation that creates a nice musical ambiance in my room while I'm not using my PC makes sense, no?

I bet CCP's marketing/design department would agree that making something visually appealing have more impact than less appealing. Also, that feature would encourage leaving our game clients opened, thus making the login process shorter (shorter time-to-gaming) thus, increasing the addictiveness of the game!

I started playing a LOT of games only because they looked good. I understand your opinion. I hope you now see my point! :D
