It is necessary to have the Phonon GStreamer backend for qt5, GStreamer ffmpeg Plugin and GStreamer Plugins Good
|
|
- For Arch linux : `pacman -S gst-libav phonon-qt5-gstreamer gst-plugins-good qt5-quickcontrols qt5-graphicaleffects qt5-multimedia`
|
|
- For Gentoo : these settings allowed me to make the theme work
|
|
|
|

|
|

|

Havent tryed for other distros...
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
Simply clone the repository and copy it to `/usr/share/sddm/themes/` like this:
|
|
```
|
|
git clone git@github.com:3ximus/aerial-sddm-theme.git
|
|
mv aerial-sddm-theme /usr/share/sddm/themes
|
|
```
|
|
*Note that super user priviledges are needed to move files into that directory.*
|
|
|
|
The theme can be tested by running `sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme <path-to-this-repository>`
|
|
|
|
### Other notes
|
|
|
|
This theme streams the HD videos so a good internet connection is necessary.
|
|
If there is no active connection or the video can't be played the background will fallback to the image background.jpg
|
|
|
|
If you wish to play local videos files just use the following command to generate the playlist-file (playlist_day.m3u or playlist_night.m3u) from a directory containing the videos:
|
|
|
|
`find <path-to-your-directory> -maxdepth 1 -type f > <playlist-file>`
|
|
|
|
If you would like to use the same videos but offline, simply download them using your shell, e.g. :
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
while read -r link; do
|
|
wget "$link"
|
|
done < playlist_file
|
|
```
|
|
|
|

|
|
- `font.bold` - set true or false to enable or disable bold font
