Official LightDM Webkit Greeter Theme of Antergos Linux

• lightdm
• lightdm-webkit2-greeter
• antergos-wallpapers (used for the background switcher)

Enable ligthdm-webkit2-greeter by editing /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and setting greeter-session property to lightdm-webkit2-greeter :

[SeatDefaults]
#greeter-session=lightdm-gtk-greeter
greeter-session=lightdm-webkit2-greeter
user-session=your-session (gnome,cinnamon,xfce...)

Antergos users should have it installed by default. It can be reinstalled if needed using pacman.
Arch users can install using their favorite AUR pacman wrapper.
Others can install manually:

1. Download Antergos Theme
2. Unzip it.
3. This should create a folder named like Antergos-lightdm-webkit-theme-antergos-28c4b13
4. Rename this folder to antergos (so that the complete path becomes /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/antergos)
5. Edit the resource /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf and set webkit-theme property to antergos :

theme-name=Adwaita
#webkit-theme=default
webkit-theme=antergos
font-name='Lato'
xft-antialias=true
xft-dpi=96
xft-hintstyle=medium
xft-rgba=rgb

Optionally you can install the included font “Lato”.

Now if you restart your computer (or at least if you restart lightdm), the antergos greeter theme should be activated.

To uninstall, simply restore the greeter-session property of the /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf file and restart your computer (or at least lightdm).

You may also want to :

1. Remove the folder antergos created in /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/
2. Restore the webkit-theme property of the /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit-greeter.conf file

To change users icons, there are two options :

• Create a .face file in the user’s home folder in which you put a jpg or png resource

Or

• Create a resource named with the user’s login in /var/lib/AccountsService/icons/
• Edit /var/lib/AccountsService/users/<userLogin> and add a property Icon targeting the icon resource you just created

This theme works well with 96×96 images.
