Unable to use the theme

[T0MuX]

Hi, I just installed the theme from AUR (using Manjaro). I'm using the last version, the AUR package get the theme doing a git clone of this repo.

I tried many syntaxes in lightdm.conf, but none of them worked :

greeter-session=lightdm-webkit-theme-tendou
greeter-session=webkit-theme-tendou
greeter-session=theme-tendou
greeter-session=tendou

Lightdm doesn't start with any of this 4 syntaxes. However, I can see the theme installed in /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/tendou/

Thank you

It's been a while since I've used LightDM Webkit, but I think greeter-session is the greeter backend (gtk, webkit, etc.) and webkit-theme is the setting you're looking for

The theme.install in my pkgbuild prints this after a successful install, which I think is right:

Don't forget to set greeter-session to lightdm-webkit2-greeter in /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf!
Don't forget to set webkit-theme to tendou in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf!

Let me know if that does or doesn't resolve it for you! ✨

Hi @codehearts I just tried to configure the way you said, but nothing happens. I well restarted Lightdm, but I still see the initial Manjaro's theme

If setting the theme in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf doesn't work, then I'd have to look into it further. I'll try installing lightdm again this weekend and see if I can make it work

I know the lightdm API has changed and this theme isn't compatible with it, so it's possible it's falling back to the default because it thinks tendou won't work

Okay fine, thank you :)

Hi, I do this little UP because I'm hasty to test ^^
