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.

[Parka Boy]

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

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:

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:

Custom plasma lock screen

Part of the KDE Plasma lockscreen colors and testing lock screen - https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=151172

With the Plasma 5.12 it is possible to add lock screen configuration to the LnF theme /1/. The Plasma 5.12.2 or later is needed to show the configuration options /2/.

The configuration options can be added by editing the Look and Feel theme lock screen config.xml and config.qml files.

An example: Custom Breeze Lock KDE Store: https://store.kde.org/p/1216681/

Does anyone here know the meaning of the term" "tour de force"...

Quick question, I hope.

Was able to download and install an asciiquarium program that runs in terminal. Can you turn that into a lock-screen?

Quick question, I hope.

A short time ago:
--> Planet KDE: https://planet.kde.org
----> Animated Plasma Wallpaper: Asciiquarium: https://www.purinchu.net/wp/2018/02/...-asciiquarium/

Available: plasma_wallpaper_asciiquarium-0.1.tar.xz
It has README.md - how to build and enable...

From the Plasma 5.8 onwards the plasma wallpaper plugins can be used as the lock screen background - https://www.kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.8.0.php :

...all Plasma wallpaper plugins, such as slideshows and animated wallpapers, can now be used on the lock screen.

Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future.. - Yoda

From the Plasma 5.13 ( or 5.14 ?) onwards there could be an option to install plasma wallpaper plugings with a gui from the KDE Store: https://store.kde.org -> Plasma wallpaper plugins: https://store.kde.org/browse/cat/419/ord/latest/ :
