Aerial theme for SDDM

SDDM theme with Apple TV Aerial videos

Videos are played randomly and diferent playlists are used based on time of day (only day and night diferenciation, night between 5pm - 5am) its possible to tweak to have more time diferentiation, the one used is provided with the videos.

Dependencies

It is necessary to have the Phonon GStreamer backend for qt5, GStreamer ffmpeg Plugin and GStreamer Plugins Good

For Arch linux : pacman -S gst-libav phonon-qt5-gstreamer gst-plugins-good

Havent tryed for other distros...

Installation

Simply clone the repository and copy it to /usr/share/sddm/themes/ like this:

git clone git@github.com:3ximus/aerial-sddm-theme.git
mv aerial-sddm-theme /usr/share/sddm/themes

Note that super user priviledges are needed to move files into that directory.

The theme can be tested by running sddm-greeter --theme <path-to-this-repository>

Other notes

This theme streams the HD videos so a good internet connection is necessary. If there is no active connection or the video can't be played the background will fallback to the image background.jpg

If you wish to play local videos files just use the following command to generate the playlist-file (playlist_day.m3u or playlist_night.m3u) from a directory containing the videos:

find <path-to-your-directory> -maxdepth 1 -type f > <playlist-file>

Changing settings in `theme.conf.user`

You can change a few settings in this file

background - default background image
background_day and background_night - video playlists
displayFont - font
showLoginButton - if set to false will hide the login button
showClearPasswordButton - if set to false will hide the clear password button that appears when text is inputed
passwordLeftMargin and usernameLeftMargin - set margin between input boxes and labels, some fonts are messy and allows fixing of overlap
relativePositionX and relativePositionY - position the login text box and clock

Example config (not the same as the screenshots):

[General]
background_day=playlist_day.m3u
background_night=playlist_night.m3u
displayFont="Misc Fixed"
showLoginButton=false
passwordLeftMargin=15
usernameLeftMargin=15
