We will consider this feature request. In slick-greeter, they have added some config file support, so the code base is already there (in slick-greeter). It should be easy to port things over.
As a design change (compared to slick-greeter, iirc): there should not be one config file, but a config.d folder where admins / package maintainers can drop config snippets. (Maybe slick-greeter has this, too, I can't remember it fully atm).
Traditionally, configuration of display managers and greeters happened by configuration files in /etc. For example, slick-greeter supports /etc/lightdm/slick-greeter.conf.
I tried creating
/etc/lightdm/arctica-greeter.conf
with the following content, but it was ignored:The only working alternative I found was to use gsettings, but:
glib-compile-schemas
, anddconf update
Is there any way to customize arctica-greeter with plain configuration files without running external programs? E.g. chrooting to a rootfs of different architecture to run
glib-compile-schemas
isn't always feasible...
