MineSDDM Theme

MineSDDM is a custom theme for SDDM inspired by Minecraft’s retro 1.8 version and by the Minecraft GRUB Theme by Lxtharia

Installation

Prerequisites

• SDDM: Ensure that SDDM is installed and set as your system’s display manager.
• Qt: Requires Qt 5.15 or later.
• Dependencies: Confirm that your system has all SDDM, QT, and other system-specific dependencies installed. For example, qt5-quickcontrols2, layer-shell-qt5, and layer-shell-qt.

Manual Installation

Should work on most systems

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/Davi-S/sddm-theme-minesddm.git ~/sddm-theme-minesddm
   

2. Copy the Theme Folder:

   sudo cp -r ~/sddm-theme-minesddm/minesddm /usr/share/sddm/themes/
   

3. Set the Theme in SDDM: Edit the SDDM configuration file (usually located at /etc/sddm.conf file or /etc/sddm.conf.d/ directory):

   [Theme]
   Current=minesddm
   

4. Logout of your session: Logout and you will (probably) see the new theme

AUR

It is available on AUR (not maintained by me) and can be installed using any AUR helper.

NixOS Installation

{
   # ...

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

    minesddm = {
      url = "github:Davi-S/sddm-theme-minesddm";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
  };

  outputs = { self, nixpkgs, minesddm }: {
    nixosConfigurations = {
      hostname = nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem {
         system = "x86_64-linux";
         modules = [
            # ...

            minesddm.nixosModules.default

            # or in your configuration.nix
            ({ config, pkgs, ... }: {
               services.displayManager.sddm = {
                  enable = true;
                  theme = "minesddm";
               };
            });
        ];
      };
    };
  };
}

If the above is not working for you, check the "development" branch.

Theme Customization

To override settings in the theme.conf configuration file, create a custom theme.conf.user file in the same directory and add the settings you want to override. (Reference)

The default config file contains documentation about each option.
