First of all, I congratulate you on your project. It looks sleek. I am on Ubuntu 20.04 Mate Desktop. I wanted to try this theme, unfortunately it seems that Ubuntu dropped lightdm-webkit2-greeter package. However, it's still installable using the following guide . I also noticed that /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf doesn't exist in Ubuntu but I think Unity Greeter still honour the settings in it if it's created. Is this theme usable in Ubuntu?

This theme is usable, but with some "cons". You would need to build web-greeter (which is a bit annoying in Ubuntu). Here's an explanation on how to install it: https://askubuntu.com/a/1201706. But, the theme won't be usable at first. I recently made a PR #51, with some changes that allow this theme in the master release.

@JezerM Thank you for committing the fixes and the info. I need to use onboard keyboard at login screen, is it possible with this theme?

JezerM commented 3 years ago

Nop, I think that is not possible in this theme.
