I wanted to make my login screen consistent with my user desktop (single-user machine), but I can’t change either cursors nor fonts. I can successfully change the theme and the icons, and the background too. The “Login Settings” application does not allow to customise those settings, though (by the …

cursor and fonts are upstream slick-greeter issues. Suggest other queries about slick-greeter should also be asked on the upstream tracker. LightDM GTK+ Greeter Settings is for the LightDM GTK Greeter only. If you can, make the code changes and do a pull-request …or at the very minimum raise slic…

Oh, I’m sorry, I assumed the hot corners applet merely acted on some hidden setting, like the Night Light applet.

Don’t know if it’s related but there’s another feature that does not seem to work in lightdm for Ubuntu-Budgie 18.04 : the « show user background » on login screen ( in other words, on login screen the background changes accordingly to the selected user ) I assume some kind of « conflict » betwee…

@Coeur-Noir that was a change made in the 18.04 cycle to lightdm that removed that capability. All desktop environments now have to implement their own method to-do this.

That capability ( show user’s background ) is not at all removed from lightdm. → look at Xubuntu 18.04, it works. → isn’t it working too in Solus ? ( where I think there is no gnome-control-center thing like ) That capability ( show user’s background ) does not exist in GDM though - used in defau…

As I said - EACH desktop environment needs to implement the changes … xfce implemented the changes required to make it work - hence why it works in xubuntu Solus Budgie? No - unless they have patched lightdm using the old code that was dropped in 18.04 I raised the issue here - no one has taken u…

[image] fossfreedom: xfce implemented the changes required to make it work - hence why it works in xubuntu Ok, I’ll try to check that. It means lightdm version should be different in Xubuntu and Ubuntu-Budgie ?

no - lightdm will be exactly the same - the xfce daemon (whatever that is) would have implemented the change.

Ok. So lightdm is not the problem. The problem is how to give that « background » information to lightdm. So why having in Ubuntu-Budgie a tool to tweak login-screen with the available option « show user’s background » if that option can’t work ??? [Capture%20du%202018-06-21%2014-29-05]
