Catppuccin for SDDM
## Previews
🌻 Latte
🪴 Frappé
🌺 Macchiato
🌿 Mocha
## Usage
1. Ensure you have installed the [dependencies](#dependencies) for your operating system.
2. Download your chosen flavour + accent zip file from the [latest GitHub release](https://github.com/catppuccin/sddm/releases/latest).
3. Unzip the file and move the resulting directory to `/usr/share/sddm/themes/`. E.g. to copy `catppuccin-mocha-mauve`:
```bash
sudo mv -v catppuccin-mocha-mauve-sddm /usr/share/sddm/themes/catppuccin-mocha-mauve
```
4. Edit the `/etc/sddm.conf` file and change the theme to `catppuccin--`. For example, `catppuccin-mocha-mauve`.
If you don't have this file, create the `/etc/sddm.conf` file and add the following lines:
```conf
[Theme]
Current=catppuccin-mocha-mauve
```
5. Unfortunately, the theme does not work properly if SDDM is run on X11 and not Wayland - follow the instructions [here](https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/SDDM#Wayland) here if there are issues.
## Dependencies
### Arch Based OS
```bash
pacman -Syu qt6-svg qt6-declarative qt5-quickcontrols2
```
### Debian Based OS
```bash
apt install --no-install-recommends qml-module-qtquick-layouts qml-module-qtquick-controls2 qml-module-qtquick-window2 libqt6svg6
```
### RPM Based OS
```bash
dnf install qt6-qtquickcontrols2 qt6-qtsvg
```
### Solus OS
```bash
eopkg install qt6-quickcontrols2 qt6-svg
```
### NixOS
This theme is available in nixpkgs [`catppuccin-sddm`](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/by-name/ca/catppuccin-sddm/package.nix).
Add the package to systemPackages, you can customize the theme by overriding the attributes:
```nix
environment.systemPackages = [(
pkgs.catppuccin-sddm.override {
flavor = "mocha";
font = "Noto Sans";
fontSize = "9";
background = "${./wallpaper.png}";
loginBackground = true;
}
)];
```
Then set it as the theme in the sddm configuration, change the suffix to the flavor you set in the package override:
```nix
displayManager.sddm = {
enable = true;
theme = "catppuccin-mocha";
package = pkgs.kdePackages.sddm;
};
```
## Configuration
- `Font`: The chosen font
- `FontSize`: The text size
- `ClockEnabled`: Whether the clock is on or off, this should be set to either `true` or `false`
- `CustomBackground`: When this is `true` it will read from `Background` to render the custom background image, this should be set to either `true` or `false`
- `Background`: This is the location of the background image, it is recomended to use the provided `backgrounds/` directory to store the images
- `LoginBackground`: This is a extra background around the login panel, this should be set to either `true` or `false`
- `UserIcon`: When this is set to `true` the user icon will be displayed, this should be set to either `true` or `false`
