LightDM Webkit (& WebKit2) greeter theme which is deliberately made to be macOS-esque.

##Source This LightDM webkit greeter theme is based on LightDM-Webkit-MacOSX-Theme, with the visuals changed to approximate the more recent releases of macOS.

It can be applied on pretty much any Linux distro which includes LightDM and the WebKit / WebKit2 greeter either in the repositories or installed with distro.

##Installation You will need to set LightDM as your display manager and you will need either of the LightDM WebKit greeters. (For Arch Linux that's lightdm-webkit-greeter or lightdm-webkit2-greeter from the AUR)

Then modify the LightDM configuration file in:

 /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

Change the greeter-session to lightdm-webkit-greeter or lightdm-webkit2-greeter, depending on which one you have installed.

You should have something similar to this on your config:

 [SeatDefaults]
 greeter-session=lightdm-webkit-greeter
 allow-guest=false

Next, install the theme by copying all the files in this repository to:

 /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/macos

To apply the theme, modify /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit-greeter.conf or /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf so that it contains a line similar to this:

 webkit-theme = macos

Enjoy your aesthetic login screen :D

##Modifications Among the modifications I've made include:

  • Restyled svg icons
  • Updated style
  • Added clock and title on header
  • A new font (based on Liberation Sans)

##Customizing ###Text on the greeter### To add your own text, like "Welcome to your computer", you can open index.html in a text editor and modifying line 10, e.g.

<div class="headertext"></div> <!-- you can change this to whatever -->

to

<div class="headertext">Welcome to your computer</div>

###Custom background### Simply replace logon.png in the resources/img/ folder with a background of your choice. A sample background (made by me) is included.

##Demo A demo of this theme can be viewed here
