This theme is inspired by Numix sddm theme
(https://github.com/intialonso/intialonso.github.io)
by Inti Alonso and the default sddm theme, maui (https://github.com/sddm/sddm).
Wallpaper was created using inkscape.
It also uses some icons from Numix icon theme
https://github.com/numixproject/numix-icon-theme
(shutdown, warning and down arrow icons).

The aim of this theme is to display a simple yet complete sddm greeter based in
solarized palette by Ethan Schoonover
(http://ethanschoonover.com/solarized).
I use this colors almost everywhere so, why not in the greeter? ;)
This theme relies in Fontawesome font. If you try this, make sure that it is
installed in your system. In archlinux this font can be installed from aur:
Theme can be installed from solarized-sddm-theme
aur package. This
package contains the latest stable version.
This theme has only been tested in archlinux. Theme should work in other distributions like fedora or ubuntu, though, but use it at your own risk.
For installing in other linux distributions you must get the latest stable version
from github
(0.1.8 at the moment of writing):
# this command will download and untar the package
wget --no-check-certificate https://github.com/MalditoBarbudo/solarized_sddm_theme/archive/0.1.6.tar.gz -O - | tar xz
and copy the created theme folder to /usr/share/sddm/themes.
Finally, don't forget to change the theme in /etc/sddm.conf.
This theme uses by default Raleway font. If Raleway is not installed
default sddm font is used. Raleway can be installed on arch from aur:
- otf-raleway
Ralewayalso can be installed from ttf-google-fonts-git which also installs other cool fonts.
If you want to try different fonts, or just use the
one you love, or simply setting one really installed in your system you can
modify the displayFont field in thetheme.conf file (in the theme folder,
usually in /usr/share/sddm/themes/solarized-sddm-theme/ if installed from aur)
with your exclusive font selection. For example, to change to Montserrat font:
[General]
background=background.png
displayFont="Montserrat"
But be careful, some fonts really don't mix well with the theme.
With version 0.1.8 a new default background was introduced (ridges). If you
prefer the former backgrounds (bars, circles or traces) you can find them
in the theme folder as bars_background.png, circles_background.png and
traces_background.png.
To use any of them change the theme.conf file accordingly:
[General]
background=bars_background.png
or
[General]
background=circles_background.png
- Multimonitor issues. In some multimonitor configurations it may appear some glitches in the theme. Working on it.
