⚙️ Custom lock theme (Working on it)

• So i will need to create my own lockscreen since swaylock won't work with widgets because of layers
• From this point i will mainly work on optimization,layout fixes and lock screen.

⚙️ SHA3-512 Encryption (Working on it)

• Write a python code that encrypts the password
• Change LoginPanel as it checks for encrpyted password and also compares it to user input
• Change installer to save username and password in sha512 encrypted text.

❌ Custom Grub and plymouth theme (Maybe Later)

❌ Custom wlogout theme (Maybe Later)

Issues and Contribution

If you would like to contribute to this repo please do so by creating a PR. I am open to suggestions.

Dependencies

Install sddm(Simple Desktop Display Manager).You also need QT5 which includes Qt Quick Controls 2, Qt Graphical Effects, Qt SVG, Qt Quick Layouts with version 5.11 or new.In qt5 video loads so slow and late so you will also need qt6-base.Also megatools to download videos.To do so

For Arch based distros using pacman (Obarun/Artix/Manjaro/KaOS/Chakra etc.)

sudo pacman -S gst-libav phonon-qt5-gstreamer gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-ugly qt5-quickcontrols qt5-graphicaleffects qt5-multimedia qt6-base megatools

For Debian based distros using apt (Ubuntu/Kali/Neon/antiX etc.Excluding Kubuntu)

sudo apt-get install gstreamer1.0-libav qml-module-qtmultimedia libqt5multimedia5-plugins qt6-base megatools

For Kubuntu using apt

sudo apt install gstreamer1.0-libav phonon4qt5-backend-gstreamer gstreamer1.0-plugins-good qml-module-qtquick-controls qml-module-qtgraphicaleffects qml-module-qtmultimedia qt5-default qt6-base megatools

Installing and Testing

Installation just got easier.Just clone this repo then cd into repo and run installer. Videos will be installed using megatools.If you are stuck on Login Screen check wiki

git clone https://github.com/nicefaa6waa/genshin-sddm-theme.git
cd genshin-sddm-theme
bash install-sddm-theme.sh

If door video and background video is slow then just add MinimumQtVersion=6.2.0 at the end of /etc/sddm.conf file.I assume that you have qt6 installed you can check it by qmake6 --version

After installing and testing if it says invalid credentials on log that means you mistyped the password while installing.To fix this just go to /usr/share/sddm/themes/genshin-sddm-theme/components/credentials.txt and correct the second password.

If you want manual installation:

⚙️Manual Installation Instructions

#!IMPORTANT NOTE! edit credentials.txt like username:password to be able to login.

Follow the steps below to install and test it:

To test it before use you need to install this repo and copy it to your sddm themes folder.

In order to do this:

For Arch based distros:

cd
git clone https://github.com/nicefaa6waa/genshin-sddm-theme.git
sudo cp -r /genshin-sddm-theme/ /usr/share/sddm/themes/

For Debian based distros:

cd
git clone https://github.com/nicefaa6waa/genshin-sddm-theme.git
sudo cp -r genshin-sddm-theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/

(!!!WITH LATEST VERSION MEGATOOLS DOWNLOADS VIDEOS AUTOMATICALLY!!!)

Google Drive

Then unzip the downloaded folder to your themes folder.In order to do so:

For Uncompressed zip
sudo unzip -q -d /usr/share/sddm/themes/genshin-sddm-theme/backgrounds/ ~/Downloads/Uncompressed*.zip
For Compressed zip
sudo unzip -q -d /usr/share/sddm/themes/genshin-sddm-theme/backgrounds/ ~/Downloads/Compressed*.zip

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TESTING FIRST.

There may be some visual bugs on varying distros so before changing your theme test it first with the command. Now, assuming that you've installed it correctly to test it:

sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme genshin-sddm-theme

If background door and loading video loads so slow in your /etc/sddm.conf file add MinimumQtVersion=6.2.0 at the end.Make sure you have qt6 installed by runnig qmake6 --version.

Applying

If you are new and you don't know how to change the SDDM theme, follow these steps:

If you are on KDE Plasma you can easily change sddm theme from settings.If you use something else

1. Edit the config file in '/etc/sddm.conf'. If you don't have 'sddm.conf' file, then copy it from '/usr/lib/sddm/default.conf'. If you are on hyprdots, then the config file will be in '/etc/sddm.conf.d/kde_settings.conf'.Furthermore you may have kde_settings.conf in your current active sddm theme.

   sudo nano /path/to/your/config/file

2. Look for the following section in the configuration file:

   [Theme]
   Current=

3. Change your theme to genshin-sddm-theme.
