Sync with the theme/icon set #53

Closed tio-trom closed 1 month ago

tio-trom commented 1 year ago

Hello, I can't figure it out how I can make it sync and use the user's theme and icon set. The configs seem to be stored in: /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf- but unless the user also selects the theme and icon set from the LIGHTDM Settings they won't be synced with the system's theme.

At least if there was a config file in the user directory one can write a script to sync the system's theme with the greeter one.

Any help please?

They don't belong to the same user... there could be multiple users on the OS, the login screen belongs to root, not any user in particular.

You could write a script which arbitrarily chooses a user's config and overwrites roots, and have that run on login or start sequence, or cron job...

I'll close the issue since this isn't a bug.
