|
|
|
|
|
|
### Dependencies
|
|
|
|
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`
|
|
|
|
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 --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>`
|
|
|
|
### Changing settings in `theme.conf.user`
|
|
|
|
You can change a few settings in this file
|
|
- `background` - default background image
|
|
- `background_day` and `background_night` - video playlists
|
|
- `displayFont` - font
|
|
- `showLoginButton` - if set to false will hide the login button
|
|
- `showClearPasswordButton` - if set to false will hide the clear password button that appears when text is inputed
|
|
- `passwordLeftMargin` and `usernameLeftMargin` - set margin between input boxes and labels, some fonts are messy and allows fixing of overlap
|
|
- `relativePositionX` and `relativePositionY` - position the login text box and clock
|
|
|
|
Example config (not the same as the screenshots):
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
[General]
|
|
background_day=playlist_day.m3u
|
|
background_night=playlist_night.m3u
|
|
displayFont="Misc Fixed"
|
|
showLoginButton=false
|
|
passwordLeftMargin=15
|
|
usernameLeftMargin=15
|
|
```
