[sddm-astronaut-theme](https://github.com/Keyitdev/sddm-astronaut-theme) is a series of themes for the [SDDM](https://github.com/sddm/sddm/) display manager made by **[Keyitdev](https://github.com/Keyitdev)**.



It's written using the latest version of Qt, which is **Qt6**. Its key features include **virtual keyboard support** and an **installation script**. This theme also support **animated wallpapers**. You can easily change its appearance by choosing another of the ten pre-made themes or creating your own. Each of these themes was created by modifying just one file - **[config](./Themes/astronaut.conf)**.



All themes were created for 1080p. However, they should work well in other resolutions.

## Sources



Initially the theme was independed fork of [MarianArlt's theme](https://github.com/MarianArlt/sddm-sugar-dark) but now the project has come a long way and started to significantly deviate from the original.

Many of the wallpapers and fonts used in this project are very popular and copied from one user to another, so I don't know who the original creator is. 

I also redesigned many of them, but here are links to some of the orginal artists who created these wonderful wallpapers:
