This is a theme for LightDM Webkit2 (lightdm-webkit2-greeter [Arch Linux users: the package is in AUR]).

Features

I created this for use on Arch Linux, 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
• Option to hide the profile picture
• Option to change the background
• Option to change clock format (12/24h)
• Option to select session
• Option to select language
• Option to select keyboard layout (eq. pl_PL for Polish keyboard)
• A clock!

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/<youraccountname>
