A basic LightDM Webkit greeter theme inspired by i3lock, primarily for single-user machines

Primary LanguageJavaScript

A minimalist LightDM Webkit greeter theme, based on lightdm-webkit-google

This is a theme for LightDM Webkit (lightdm-webkit-greeter).

It's designed for single-user machines and inspired by i3lock. If there's only one user, it doesn't even show any prompts.

It borrows the shutdown/restart/clock at the bottom (and most of the code) from lightdm-webkit-google.

Features

I created this for use on Arch Linux on my HP Chromebook 11, so it only has the basic features of:

  • Selecting an available user from a dropdown (if there's more than one)
  • Entering their password
  • Seeing their profile picture
  • Restarting the computer
  • Shutting the computer down
  • A clock!

How to install

Instructions will differ for every platform, but I can tell you how to install it on Arch Linux:

  1. Install and enable lightdm and lightdm-webkit-greeter
  2. In the terminal, cd to /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/
  3. Clone this repository here, it should create a folder called lightdm-webkit-google
  4. Enable the theme in your /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit-greeter.conf
