Hi,
I'm trying to customize gtk greeter, to look more elegant than its default look.
While I can change stuff in the greeter conf file, I can't see if it's taking theme files, expecially custom css.
here is the conf:
[greeter]
background=/usr/share/backgrounds/sonicle-login.png
theme-name=Adwaita
icon-theme-name=nuoveXT2
#font-name=
xft-antialias=true
xft-dpi=96
xft-hintstyle=medium
xft-rgba=rgb
#show-language-selector=true
#show-indicators=true
show-clock=true
clock-format=%H:%M:%S
#keyboard=
#position=
#screensaver-timeout=
So login is fine, icon theme is fine.
I choose theme name from /usr/share/themes, have Adwaita inside, then gtk-3.0.
Created an apps directory, and placed my css file there.
This css file is never read.
Also changing theme name with other I have inside /usr/share/themes, never change look.
Where is it looking for themes and css?
Gabriele.
