Thanks for sharing your work. I have skipped display managers all together for years and opted to just 'startx'....but this theme caught my eye. And it works wonderfully.

I will take a look at the source, but at some point if you could add an icon for Budgie DE that would great.

Cheers.

I really want to recommend your WebKit greeter as an option (and hopefully as the default) for Solus (I'm just a user, so this is not a certain sign of anything), however as Solus is desktop-driven, it would make sense for certain features (such as the battery percentage, time and date, etc.) to be (optionally) shown there without the splash screen.

It would be nice to be able to do that.

I would like to disable splash screen. I've modified /components/app/app_component.dart to set duration to 0.1 or 0 but it did not changed anything.

Hi great theme. I found it today, and love it.

would it be possible to disable the arch splash screen?
and also would it be possible to disable the "press space" to login, but directly show the login field on boot?

if so, how would i change it to work that way?

Hello! Is it possible to change the default background?

I'm trying to change the design a bit. Specifically, I'm trying to change the CSS of the displayed error and the login container. I can't seem to change it at all. I've tried changing the #error in litarvan/packages/lightdm_webkit_theme_litarvan/components/login_component.css. Still doesn't work.

Let me know if there's another way to do it

For those of us on a touchscreen, such as on a tablet or convertible (or external touch display), having an onscreen keyboard would be great.

So I finally got it to run as intended, but now I have a new problem. Putting in any password - any at all, real or fake - then hitting enter will lock the password box and do nothing. Backing up to the "press enter/space" menu will clear and unlock the password box, but regardless there's neither a login nor a notification that the password is incorrect.

Sidenote: the animations are extremely laggy (to the point of slowing the entire greeter down) on my machine, despite working fine on the live test site

I have a 1080p secondary monitor and a 1440p main monitor, the blur effect when entering the password is creating a black line at 1920px width, https://imgur.com/a/OQrE9lb

If you can let me know where in the src files the blur effect is located i can try to sort it out myself as you probably can't test this

Also while i'm at it, an option to disable the blur would be nice

in the settings there is a icon on the bottom right corner, pressing on it reveals a blackscreen. and in the main settings screen, the text is invisible and so i had to try to remember the options from the web preview. i use the latest release from github on arch. Also i struggle to enable manual user name input...

Is there anyway to disable the fade to black between press log in and the desktop? I have the same background set for the greeter and for my desktop, so I would like to have a seamless fade. I'd be fine with editing the files just for myself, but I don't know a whole ton about dart.

I've tried to manually install the pre 3 of 3.0.0 but it seems that there is a problem with IBus (at least it is the first error that ti returns). When launching lightdm-webkit2-greeter from cli, the greeter window appears black and eventually returns an error asking to load fallback theme. Meanwhile, in console, i get the following

(lightdm-webkit2-greeter:2515): IBUS-WARNING **: 10:18:24.634: Unable to connect to

I have simply untared the archive in /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/litarvan

Hey, somewhat like a 1 month ago I got myself a new 32' 4K screen. This worked fine in the previous version but it's a bit problematic in the new one. The main issue is that the background does not zoom in to fit the screen, instead it repeats itself. The blur is also too big, I can notice squares, it's not smooth.

This was the first custom theme I had installed for lightdm. I read through the arch wiki lightdm section before reading through the install instructions on this repo. Both were not enough to get this theme up and running.

I went searching through other lightdm-webkit themes repos to see if i could find more information and found bryanbecker's GlitchDM. His readme provided more insight.

Because I was new to all this, there were some questions I didn't know the answers to. Below I've documented the exact steps i followed to get this project working "from scratch". Would you approve a pull request adding these steps to the README for others to see?

I think it would also be appropriate to point future users to the Arch Wiki arcticle on LightDM so that they can get a broad overview. The wiki helped me understand what a greeter was, for example.

Otherwise, the theme worked perfectly!

Here is a full list of instructions I had to follow:

Install Package and Dependencies:

sudo pacman -S lightdm lightdm-webkit2-greeter
yaourt -S lightdm-webkit2-theme-litarvan

Configure lightdm to use lightdm-webkit2-greeter as it's greeter

Edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf to include:

[Seat:*]
greeter-session=lightdm-webkit2-greeter
session-wrapper=/etc/lightdm/Xsession

Configure lightdm-webkit2-greeter to use litarvan theme:

Edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf to include:

[greeter]
webkit_theme = litarvan

(In your readme you say /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit.conf which i'm not sure is correct. Please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Ensure lightdm.service is enabled on startup

sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service

Try it out

sudo systemctl start lightdm.service

or

shutdown -r now

Hi, I can't get the theme to run. I see the first logo but get: "An error was detected in the current theme that could interfere with the system login process.".

These lines from /var/log/lightdm/seat0-greeter.log seem like a hint, but I can't figure out what to do next:

Hello! Really enjoy your theme, but just ran across an issue.

I was trying to set up HOTP authentication using the pam_oath module but whenever I would hit enter, the greeter would "hang" -- not to the point of me having to change TTYs and kill the greeter, but to where I would have to hit Esc and try to log in again after commenting out the offending line in the lightdm PAM configuration.

/etc/pam.d/lightdm:

#%PAM-1.0
auth	  sufficient pam_oath.so usersfile=/etc/users.oath window=30 digits=6
auth        include     system-login
-auth       optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so
account     include     system-login
password    include     system-login
session     include     system-login
-session    optional    pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start

I noticed that the Antergos webkit theme does not have the same problem, and I can log in with my HOTP-generated code just fine. Maybe there is something you could lift from their codebase that would let your theme do the same thing. Potentially additional information at my thread here: https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/9vmdlu/two_factor_authentication_for_lightdm/

Hey, since https://github.com/Antergos/web-greeter has been archived I was wondering about the future of the project. This is a great theme and it would be a shame to see it go away in the future. Do you have any plans?

Having support for accessibility options will be great for people who need them.
Additionally, an accessibility menu would be appropriate for manual enabling/disabling the options.

Also, in such an instance, having the accessibility options being persistently saved will make life much easier for people who rely on a11y.

When I open my computer and the mouse is in the center at default of two monitors when using lightdm. Pressing space wont work, I cant login unless I switch my mouse to primary monitor first.

I have a huge dark profile picture and when I press space (not before) and everything blurs, there's a blurred vertical.

The vertical line is placed in a way that it could be the edge of the square profile picture, that's resized to fit the window container.

Example screen:

+-------------------------------------+
|                 O          |        |
|               -----        |        |
|                ---         |        |
|                            |        |
|                            |        |
|                            |        |
|                            |        |
|                            |        |
+-------------------------------------+

After pressing Enter/Space, I get a message that says

An error was detected in the current theme that could interfere with the system login process.

Let me know if there's any additional information that you would need to troubleshoot this issue.

Thanks for this pretty theme.
I would love to be able to customize it by defining fonts myself.

Would this be non-trivial to implement?

I'm trying to install and use Litarvan on an immutable and stateless system - so the setup is running every time because the config can't be persisted!
If I could just figure out where the config is being stored, I could copy it into the build scripts that create the system image...

Is it possible to adjust settings to scale for HiDPI monitors?

How can I change individual user avatars?

It would be great for the battery status to be shown on the lock screen with your WebKit greeter.

Just a nitpick. Allow users to choose if they want 24 hour or 12 hour clock in settings.

Hi, not an issue but rather a question - what is the simplest way to change duration of logo? I tried to put some short video, but i did not manage to find out a way to make it play longer than original logo. Can you help?

Hello,

I really appreciate this theme but I can't load the theme when I launch lightdm. I have to load the default theme if not I have a black screen

Someone could help me ?

Thanks

The options button from the live preview isn't visible after installing

I installed the theme with pacman -S pacman -S lightdm-webkit-theme-litarvan

I'm using lightdm-webkit2-greeter and the theme is displaying correctly, however I can't edit the configuration to enable round-avatar pictures for example. And I didn't find any info regarding the option button in the readme.

I'm on Arch Linux/Gnome 3.32.2 the Switch User option, just above Logout does not work, I'm uncertain if this is greeter related but it worked with lightdm-webkit2-greeter

I recently installed litarvan on my Manjaro linux 17.0.6 with lightdm-webkit2-greeter configured properly,
I get a blinking screen on loading lightdm. It then asks me to load the default or fallback theme...

seat0-greeter.log

This is the log file of the same, pls help me out!

If this isn't already included (I'm currently going through the commits to check if this is), it would be a good idea to add support for additional languages for people who for some odd reason set their password to a language other than English.

As part of this, since I see that there is not much to do, I intend to translate lightdm-webkit-litarvan to Hebrew later (if I have the time). This should also allow me to test how well does your greeter work with RTL and non-latin characters.

is this written for webkit or webkit2? the index.theme says webkit but README has mentions of webkit2.

Thanks for making this very polished theme. Currently, there is no prompt such as "swipe your fingerprint to login" like the stock antergos theme for webkit2-greeter. One has to press enter while in the password entry box to activate the fingerprint reader. Also, if fingerprint authentication fails, it does not fall back to the usual password authentication. I'm on Arch.

When I unlock my session, the password field is not focused, so I have to manually click on it before I can enter my password.

This might not seem like too big of an issue, except that lightdm doesn't handle my trackpad correctly and clicking is unreliable, so it'd be nice if this were an option.

Edit:

I found that, as a temporary fix, I can edit main.dart.js, locate the line var t1 = this.password; (in LoginComponent_ngOnInit__setEnabled) and insert t1.focus(); below it to implement this behavior.

To implement this from the original dart source code, you can probably add password.focus(); to the setEnabled() definition inside of LoginComponent::ngOnInit.

Is it possible to add some indicator when caps lock or num lock switched on?

Hi!

I cannot get it to run. I just get errors:

Are there any dependencies I need? Do I need dart to run it for example?

It looks really nice so would really like to get it to run.

I'm on a fresh Arch install with i3-gaps if that matters.

Regards

Is there any way to prevent this and keeping the setup result ?

I've got my avatar set (from within Plasma, on Manjaro), but the greeter only shows me the generic user avatar. If I run lightdm --test-mode in Plasma, it pulls my avatar (although the window is so small the layout is all messed up).

Any idea what's going on? Can I help?

Hi i tried your new version v3.0.0-pre2.
now every thing is scaled way to big, like 4 time as big as normal.
the older version had the right scaling

but it sure looks good, keep up the good work :)

Hi!

I've being trying to set this theme but nothing seems to work.

pacman -S lightdm-webkit-theme-litarvan

sudo vim /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf
under the section
[LightDM]
greeter-session=lightdm-webkit2-greeter

sudo vim /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit.conf
#seems like there was no such file earlier so I wrote
theme = litarvan

OOh it was a wrong file.. my typo sorry!

Idk how feasible it would be to add the option to remove or edit it.

Is it possible to change the text and icon colors in some sort of configuration file? I think this would be a good feature in the case that the user's desired background image is lighter-colored, making it hard to read the white icons and text over a light background.

Hi there,

first of all I want to say that this is my favorite theme out there. It is elegant and simple.
The customization of the 3.0 release makes it perfect.

I just wanted to know what your release plans are and if there are any problems that are currently blocking a 3.0 release? I am using Arch Linux and can't wait to see a 3.0 on my machine.

I was thinking a random background chosen from a directory would be a fun addition. Obviously a low priority, but could be nice if it can be done on the themeing end

Hi,
Can you add support for the Portuguese (Brazilian) language?
Thank you.

Can you add suspend option please?

I got the installation from the Arch Repository. Wondering why the greeter is still the old version and not as same as Live Testing
