Un-ugly Xscreensaver (Or At Least Try...)

The lock screen of XFCE, at least on Linux Mint is awful.
This is the first step towards making it a little easier on the eyes.
The contents of my ~/.Xresources file:

xscreensaver.splash: false

!font settings 9x15, the best fixed old school font in the Universe
xscreensaver.Dialog.headingFont:        9x15
xscreensaver.Dialog.bodyFont:           9x15
xscreensaver.Dialog.labelFont:          9x15
xscreensaver.Dialog.unameFont:          9x15
xscreensaver.Dialog.buttonFont:         9x15
xscreensaver.Dialog.dateFont:           9x15
xscreensaver.passwd.passwdFont:         9x15

!general dialog box (affects main hostname, username, password text)
xscreensaver.Dialog.foreground: #ffffff
xscreensaver.Dialog.background: #111111
xscreensaver.Dialog.topShadowColor: #111111
xscreensaver.Dialog.bottomShadowColor: #111111
xscreensaver.Dialog.Button.foreground: #666666
xscreensaver.Dialog.Button.background: #ffffff

!username/password input box and date text colour
xscreensaver.Dialog.text.foreground: #666666
xscreensaver.Dialog.text.background: #ffffff
xscreensaver.Dialog.internalBorderWidth:36
xscreensaver.Dialog.borderWidth: 0
xscreensaver.Dialog.shadowThickness: 2

!timeout bar (background is actually determined by Dialog.text.background)
!xscreensaver.passwd.thermometer.foreground: #ff0000
!xscreensaver.passwd.thermometer.background: #000000
!xscreensaver.passwd.thermometer.width: 8

! Same color as the background so this "thermometer" dissapears...
xscreensaver.passwd.thermometer.foreground: #111111
xscreensaver.passwd.thermometer.background: #111111
xscreensaver.passwd.thermometer.width: 2

!datestamp format–see the strftime(3) manual page for details
xscreensaver.dateFormat: %I:%M%P %a %b %d, %Y

To test this, I'm currently doing this, after making changes to the file, on a Terminal:

killall xscreensaver

Then start it via Demo:

xscreensaver-demo

Then see the changes by:
