sddm-chili's Introduction

Chili login theme for SDDM

Chili is hot, just like a real chili! Spice up the login experience for your users, your family and yourself. Chili reduces all the clutter and leaves you with a clean, easy to use, login interface with a modern yet classy touch.

Chili for SDDM is the desktop environment independent adaption of my chili login theme for KDE Plasma with reduced functionality. If you use Plasma as your desktop environment you would likely prefer Chili for KDE Plasma.

Dependencies

sddm
qt5
qt5-quickcontrols
qt5-graphicaleffects

Installing the theme

Download the tar archive from openDesktop and extract the contents to the theme directory of SDDM (change the path for the downloaded file if necessary):

$ sudo tar -xzvf ~/Downloads/sddm-chili.tar.gz -C /usr/share/sddm/themes

This will extract all the files to a folder called chili inside of the themes directory of SDDM. After that you will have to point SDDM to the new theme by editing its config file:

$ sudo nano /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/sddm.conf

In the [Theme] section set Current=chili. For a more detailed description please refer to the Arch wiki on sddm. Note that, depending on your system setup, a duplicate configuration may exist in /etc/sddm.conf. Usually this takes preference so you want to set the above line in this file if you have it.

Theming the theme

Chili is highly customizable through its included theme.conf file. You can alter the intensity of the background blur and even not have any blur at all. If you have a very big screen and the fonts have a weird size then fix it yourself in the config file. You can even change the avatar size to something that better suits you. And if that wasn't enough still you can translate the power buttons because SDDM is still lacking behind in translations!

Change the path of the background image relative to the theme directory: background=assets/background.jpg
Adjust the screen dimensions if Chili looks weird: ScreenWidth=6000 ScreenHeight=4000
Disable blur or play around with its intensity: blur=true recursiveBlurLoops=4 recursiveBlurRadius=15
(De-)Activate a new oultine-only effect for the password field: PasswordFieldOutlined=false
Adjust the font size of the whole theme in one go: (Usually somewhere between 10 and 16, be careful) changeFontPointSize=
Adjust the size of the avatar image: changeAvatarPixelSize=
Translate the labels of the power buttons: translationReboot= translationSuspend= translationPowerOff=

You might see some grey pixels around your avatar image which is caused by the anti-aliasing of the opacity mask. You may change the fill color of the mask which resides in assets/mask.svg to a color that better matches with your avatar colors. Do not change the opacity of the mask! Take note that this might affect other avatar images with different colors present on your system.

Original code is taken from KDE plasmas breeze theme. In specific the breeze SDDM login theme written by David Edmundson. I have rewritten a lot of the logic and layout though to make it work with just SDDM.

Send me a coffee

In the past years I have spent quite some hours on open source projects. If you are the type of person who digs attention to detail, know how much work is involved in it and/or simply likes to support makers with a coffee or a beer I would greatly appreciate your donation on my PayPayl account.

sddm-chili's Issues

Suspend/Reboot/Shutdown Misaligned

When using Chili, for some reason the clickable areas of the labels for the action buttons (Suspend, Reboot, Shutdown) are misaligned with where they would logically go. The clickable areas are placed above the actual icons, sized proportionately with the labels and completely operational but still unusual.

For reference, I'm on a fresh build of Arch Linux and my Main.qml file is slightly edited to account for my screen's resolution (1366 x 768). Nothing else in the file nor any other QML file has been changed.

qt5-virtualkeyboard dependency

Chili imports Qt5.VirtualKeyboard, but it is not mentioned on README. Is it considered optional (since Chili works fine without it) or a mistake?

Unable to set Background Images outside chilli theme directory

Hello,
it is not possible to use background images if the file for it is outside the chilli theme directory.
This is possible with other themes e.g. Vortex-SDDM, but I want to get rid of the KDE dependency.

It is possible to get the directory with the desired background images via a "bind"-mount into the themes directory, but this is a dirty workaround.

Is there a technical reason why it is possible with some themes and not with others?
And more important it can be fixed?

Might be worth to mention in readme

Chili does not correctly read last logged-in user

SDDM's last logged in user, when set in /var/lib/sddm/state.conf, under [Last] and User=username, is ignored by Chili. Default SDDM theme, and every other I tested, reads this field correctly without issue. When the theme is set to Chili though, the last user seems to end up being the last user added to the system from that monitor for some reason. In my case, one monitor defaults to the second user added, the other the third - even after repeated logins and reboots as the original user.

All SDDM configs show SDDM should be functioning as intended:

/var/lib/sddm/state.conf:

[Last]
# Name of the last logged-in user.
# This user will be preselected when the login screen appears
User=gctypo


# Name of the session for the last logged-in user.
# This session will be preselected when the login screen appears.
Session=/usr/share/xsessions/i3-with-shmlog.desktop

Excerpt from /etc/sddm.conf.d/sddm.conf:

[Theme]
Current=chili

[Users]
RememberLastUser=true

/usr/share/sddm/themes/chili/theme.conf:

[General]
background=assets/background.jpg

ScreenWidth=1440
ScreenHeight=900

blur=true
recursiveBlurLoops=4
recursiveBlurRadius=10

PasswordFieldOutlined=false

PowerIconSize=
FontPointSize=
AvatarPixelSize=

translationReboot=
translationSuspend=
translationPowerOff=

To reproduce:

Have a user
Install SDDM, then sddm-chili
Ensure RememberLastUser=true and theme is Current=chili
Add a new user with useradd
Reboot, check SDDM preselected user
Log in as original user, verify contents of /var/lib/sddm/state.conf, then log out
Check SDDM preselected user
Reboot, log in as original user
Plug in second monitor
Repeat steps 4-7
Change theme back to default, log out
Check SDDM preselected user

Wrong url in readme

I noticed the download url in the readme file points to the KDE theme page instead of this one.
Maybe this could be confusing to some.

Thank you for the theme!

The on-screen keyboard opens automatically

The problem is that when you click on the password entry area, the on-screen keyboard opens automatically. I use kubuntu 18.04 and plasma 5.12.5. I know that you don't recommend using this version of the theme with plasma, but the default built-in store offers exactly that:

How can I disable the upper case of the first letter in username?

My first letter is "Z". I think it will be better for "z"

How to change date and time format in the upright?

I would like to put another format, thank you.

Missing session chooser

Most themes allow some sort of session selection (Plasma, Gnome, Wayland, ...). Please add this feature.

Arch Linux AUR package

Hey, I uploaded a package to Arch Linux AUR that installs this theme. Hope you like it! Should avoid issues like #5 there 😄

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chili-sddm-theme/

how to enter username and password ?

Thanks for your beautiful job!
actually I need to enter username and password with your theme because I'm part of an Active directory system and I have bunch of usernames and passwords, for example sometime is like this [email protected] and sometime like this [email protected]
in some themes there is a button called other and you can enter both of them (user and password)
any solution ?
Thnx in advance
