This is a theme for LightDM Webkit2 (lightdm-webkit2-greeter
).
Arch Linux users can find it in the AUR: lightdm-webkit-theme-material-git
.
I created this for use on Arch Linux, so it only has the basic features of:
- Selecting an available user from a dropdown
- Entering their password
- Seeing their profile picture
- Restarting the computer
- Shutting the computer down
- Suspending the computer
- Hibernate
- Select session (GNOME, KDE, Xfce or other installed DE)
- Select your language
- 3 different types of background (trianglify, particleground, and image)
- Option to select keyboard layout (eq. pl_PL for Polish keyboard, en_US for English)
- HiDpi screen support (2000px in width or more)
- And the most important thing, A CLOCK WITH SECONDS!!!
- In the terminal,
cd
to/usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/lightdm-webkit-material/
- Pull changes from repository,
git pull
If you installed theme using AUR.

There are a couple of methods you can use to set your user picture in LightDM:
Put ajpg
of your face in your home directory as a file called.face
or
- Add
Icon=/var/lib/AccountsService/icons/<youraccountname>
to the bottom of/var/lib/AccountsService/users/<youraccountname>
and place a profile image at/var/lib/AccountsService/icons/<youraccountname>
- Put a
jpg
at/var/lib/AccountsService/wallpapers/lightdm-webkit.jpg
(You may need to create the wallpapers directory) and set background engine to image in the settings
- Put a
jpg
or apng
in/var/lib/AccountsService/wallpapers
or in a directory specified by thebackground_images
variable in your/etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf
(either thegreeter
or thebranding
section) and set the background engine to random image in the settings.
