A Simple SDDM Theme

Linux

When visiting the website, I found this theme.

ScreenShot

KDE Store

It can display only the password input, or it can show more information, such as the background and username.

We can choose what to display by editing theme.conf, such as username, background, password security mask, and the color of the cursor in the password input field."

How to Use this Theme

Download the tar.gz file, and use the command:

tar -zvxf <fileName>.tar.gz

to unzip it.

Copy this directory into /usr/share/sddm/themes/,

After that, use any text editor to open /etc/sddm.conf. (I use vim, btw.)

# First, you need to gain root access, or you can use sudo."
vim /etc/sddm.conf

Find this line, and add the theme name to Current later. Find this line, and add the theme name to Current.

Reboot the system to make the changes effective.
