Raw

corners

A very customizable SDDM theme that places controls on your screen corners.

I couldn't really find a preexisting theme that I liked, so I made my own. Layout inspired by sddm-chinese-painting-theme.

Dependencies

This theme does not require KDE Plasma, so make sure you have Qt 5 installed!

  • SDDM
  • Qt 5
  • Qt Graphical Effects
  • Qt SVG
  • Qt Quick Controls 2

On Arch, run

pacman -Syu sddm qt5-graphicaleffects qt5-svg qt5-quickcontrols2

Installation

From the AUR

For Arch users, the theme is available from the AUR here. Install it with your favorite AUR helper:

paru sddm-theme-corners-git

Manually

On other distros, download/clone this repo, and copy the corners/ folder to /usr/share/sddm/themes/.

git clone https://github.com/aczw/sddm-theme-corners.git
cd sddm-theme-corners/
sudo cp -r corners/ /usr/share/sddm/themes/

Configuration

Figured people would want to tinker on their own, so font, colors, size, corner radius, and more can all be configured. Please see CONFIG.md for a description of what each option does!

If you haven't already, make sure to change the current theme that SDDM is using. On Arch, create a .conf file in /etc/sddm.conf.d/ with the following contents:

[Theme]
Current=corners

Check the Arch Wiki for more info.

You'll definitely want to configure the theme before using it. Out of the box it uses Atkinson Hyperlegible for the font and assumes a screen DPI of 216 (basically, my setup).

Edit theme.conf (inside corners/) as you see fit. I tried making most stuff customizable, but lemme know if you want more options.

Thanks!

That's pretty much it :) I hope you enjoy the theme. Feedback is much appreciated!!
