A Google/ChromeOS style LightDM Webkit greeter theme

This is a theme for LightDM Webkit (

lightdm-webkit-greeter

It's designed to be a mix between the usual Google log in screen, and the log in screen that you will find on ChromeOS.

Features

I created this for use on Arch Linux on my HP Chromebook 11, so it only has the basic features of:

• Selecting an available user from a dropdown
• Entering their password
• Seeing their profile picture
• Restarting the computer
• Shutting the computer down
• A clock!

How to install

Instructions will differ for every platform, but I can tell you how to install it on Arch Linux:

1. Install and enable

   lightdm

   and

   lightdm-webkit-greeter

2. In the terminal,

   cd

   to

   /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/

3. Clone this repository here, it should create a folder called

   lightdm-webkit-google

4. Enable the theme in your

   /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit-greeter.conf

Setting your own user picture

There are a couple of methods you can use to set your user picture in LightDM:

• Put a

  jpg

  of your face in your home directory as a file called

  .face

or

• Add

  Icon=/path/to/your/face.png

  to the bottom of

  /var/lib/AccountsService/users/
