Harcoding the Breeze Slider SDDM greeter icons

1) Dropping a png image to the /usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze-slider/components/artwork/



2) and adding the url to the action button:

                   ActionButton {
                    iconSource: "/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze-slider/components/artwork/search-red-icon.png"
                    text: i18nd("plasma_lookandfeel_org.kde.lookandfeel","Different User")
                    onClicked: mainStack.push(userPromptComponent)
                    enabled: true
                    visible: !userListComponent.showUsernamePrompt
                }

3) The greeter has the 'search-red-icon.png' as the button:

Breeze SDDM greeter icons

Linking to https://www.kubuntuforums.net/showthread.php?t=71952

The Breeze SDDM greeter 5.8, 5.9 5.10 (and it's derivatives) are using system plasma theme icons - Main.qml:



- system-suspend
- system-reboot
- system-shutdown
- system-search

/usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/icons/system.svgz:



The icons can be changed by changing the system plasma theme.

An example - changing the system theme to the Oxygen

With the Breeze-slider

A quick & dirty:

1) Renaming the /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/ to /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default0 - This is a backup !

2) Soft linking the Oxygen to the default

sudo ln -s  /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/oxygen /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default

Now the Breeze-slider has the Oxygen icons:



Notes

Plasma upgrades will overwrite /usr/share/plasma/desktoptheme/default/ !

The Oxygen plasma theme system.svgz doesn't have the system-search !
I just added the system-search from the oxygen5 icon theme and renamed the id/label:

Very nice, I know BeClock and used it in KDE4. Looking forward that your proof of concept become a release.

Kwin Clock

Hi Rog,
what's the clock widget in the #57 Videos, that disappears when the hover over it?
Thanks

It is a simple clock, implemented as KWin Effect:



Same kind as the BeClock with the KDE4: https://www.linux-apps.com/content/s...content=117542 but this is with the KF5/Plasma5.

Not released as at this state it is only a proof of concept.

another SDDM theme

SDDM Theme Breeze Slider
https://store.kde.org/p/1174674/

SDDM Theme Breeze Slider is a modification of the standard Breeze (Plasma 5.9.4) theme.

This sddm theme is using a semitransparent (color: "#F2000000") rectangle. The sddm texts are on the rectangle and moving out the sight when not needed.

The rectangle is moving:
- up when up arrow is pressed
- down when the down arrow is pressed.
- mouse movement will also trigger the down movement.
- after 3 minute inactivity the rectangle is sliding out of sight.

Generic plasma 5 image splash

Bug 358839 - Splash screen not easily customizable from the splash screen settings menu: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=358839

The splash screens can be added by adding a 'Look and Feel' theme with only the splash part - an example: https://store.kde.org/p/1173958/

Bug 369676 - White lockscreen text's readability depends on background : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369676

A workaround is use a cover over the lock screen - with the Plasma 5.9:

Coming soon

Add SDDM theme install/uninstall with GHNS to the SDDM KCM: https://phabricator.kde.org/D3685

Summary

Add SDDM theme install/uninstall with Get Hot New Stuff to the SDDM KCM.
Button arrangement is copied from the colour KCM. We can install from either a
local .zip file or the KDE store...

Seems to work:

Plasma lock screen without ui

KDE Forums: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?...368588#p368588

As default the lock screen user interface is displayed but the clock/id/new session/etc. can be moved out of sight.

The lock screen qml code is part of the plasma look and feel theme. Editing Breeze Plasma 5.8.4 LockScreenUi.qml:



When the up arrow is pressed the UI is moved up - out of the sight.
When the down arrow is pressed the UI is moved down - center of the screen.
