lightdm-webkit-theme-archlinux

Overview

This is a slightly modified version of the:

Official LightDM Webkit Greeter Theme of Antergos Linux

This version only changes the Antergos icons into official Arch icons from the archlinux-artwork package for those with a base Arch install that would like the proper logos while using the (very beautiful) Antergos greeter theme.

Original can be found here. All credit goes to the great people who created, run, and maintain Antergos.

Prerequisites

• lightdm
• lightdm-webkit2-greeter
• antergos-wallpapers (used for the background switcher)

Enable lightdm-webkit2-greeter by editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and setting greeter-session property to lightdm-webkit2-greeter :

[SeatDefaults]
#greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
greeter-session=lightdm-webkit2-greeter
user-session=your-session (gnome,cinnamon,xfce...)

Installation

Can be installed through the AUR.

This package does not conflict with lightdm-webkit-theme-antergos. To switch between the two just change the webkit-theme= in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeeter.conf to either archlinux or antergos.

Uninstallation

To uninstall, simply restore the greeter-session property of the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file and restart your computer (or at least lightdm).

You may also want to :

• Remove the folder archlinux which was created in /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/
• Restore the webkit-theme property of the /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit-greeter.conf file

User icons management

To change users icons, there are two options :

• Create a .face file in the user's home folder in which you put a jpg or png resource

Or

• Create a resource named with the user's login in /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/
• Edit /var/lib/AccountsService/users/<userLogin> and add a property Icon targeting the icon resource you just created

This theme works well with 96x96 images.
