GDM support? #46

Closed luciofstars closed 2 months ago

luciofstars commented 2 months ago

Any way to have this affect the login screen (GDM)?

demetrisk03 commented 2 months ago

hey @skyeforeverblue, unfortunately as far as I know, gdm can not be modified by gnome shell extensions, since it's a separate component from the gnome shell.

I actually just got it working this morning @demetrisk03 . I had to copy the theme to /usr/share/themes/ and enable it with gdm-settings. Feel free to add this to the README or relevant place.

I know about the ability to manually change gdm themes, but that would require the user to manually copy-paste the shell theme to /usr/share/themes every time they choose another accent color... I also don't like the idea of encouraging people to mess with system-wide files outside their home directory.
