A sleek, modern, and glorified lightdm webkit2 theme
## [Live Demo](https://manilarome.github.io/lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious)
### Demo password: `toor`
glorious - a lightdm webkit 2 theme
### Dependencies
Please make sure you don't have an ancient version of these.
+ lightdm
+ lightdm-webkit2-greeter
### Installation
0. If you're using `systemd`, make sure that `lightdm.service` or `lightdm-plymouth.service` is enabled and running. There's a bunch of guides on the internet. [Archwiki](https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/LightDM) is recommended.
1. Install it. You can get the theme by cloning this repo or by installing it from `AUR` using `makepkg` or an AUR helper like `yay`.
+ AUR route.
```sh
# AUR Helper
yay -Syu lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious
# Makepkg route
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious.git
cd lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious
makepkg -sri
```
+ Clone the repo route.
1. Download and extract the latest stable release from [here](https://github.com/manilarome/lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious/releases).
2. Copy it to the lightdm-webkit theme folder:
```sh
cp -r lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/glorious
```
3. Set lightdm greeter session to webkit2.
```sh
# Set default lightdm greeter to lightdm-webkit2-greeter
sudo sed -i 's/^\(#?greeter\)-session\s*=\s*\(.*\)/greeter-session = lightdm-webkit2-greeter #\1/ #\2g' /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
```
4. Set it as the lightdm webkit2 theme then enable `debug_mode` by setting it to `true`. Why do we need to enable `debug_mode`? Sometimes you will be greeted by an error. And this error is due to a race condition where the theme is trying to access the `lightdm` object even though it doesn't exist *yet*. Debug mode will allow you to `right-click` and `reload` the greeter just like a webpage.
```sh
# Set default lightdm-webkit2-greeter theme to Glorious
sudo sed -i 's/^webkit_theme\s*=\s*\(.*\)/webkit_theme = glorious #\1/g' /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf
sudo sed -i 's/^debug_mode\s*=\s*\(.*\)/debug_mode = true #\1/g' /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf
```
### Uninstall
1. Follow the [installation instruction](#installation) in reverse order.
### Features
+ Multi-user support
+ Customization and Settings
+ Keyboard navigation
+ Remappable keybindings
+ Swipe gestures
+ Vanilla Javascript!
### Swipe gestures
Why do we have this? Linux can be installed on almost anything. Yes, even on a potato. So it exists to save myself some time if someone (including myself) decided to use this theme on a touch screen device (like touch screen potato? Who knows).
+ Swiping up on the greeter screen will close it.
+ Swiping down on the login screen will open the greeter screen.
+ Swiping left will open the dashboard.
+ Swiping right will close the dashboard.
### Keybinds
The default modifier is Alt. You can change it in the settings.
+ Modifier + s opens the dashboard.
+ Modifier + e opens the session selection.
+ Modifier + x opens the power selection.
+ Modifier + y opens the account selection.
+ Escape to close or go back.
### Customization and Settings
+ Color customization supports `#RGB`, `#RRGGBB`, and `#RRGGBBAA`.
+ Blur strength settings only allows an integer with `px` suffix.
+ Animation speed supports `s` and `ms`.
+ Background image selection. Supports randomness.
### Changing clock mode
There are two clock modes available - `24-hour` and `12-hour`. Switch between clock modes by just clicking on the clock. Simple.
### Notes
+ Add more background images by putting your wallpapers/images in `/usr/share/backgrounds/`.
+ Non-image and directory inside `/usr/share/backgrounds/` will cause an error! You will likely encounter this if you installed a package (for example `archlinux-wallpaper` that includes `AUTHORS` file).
+ Set your profile image in system settings or by using `mugshot`.
+ Missing DE/WM logo? Submit a [pull request](https://github.com/manilarome/lightdm-webkit2-theme-glorious/pulls)!
