Ken, you need to use: sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme <theme path> Found it at $ sddm-greeter --help Usage: sddm-greeter [options] [arguments] Options: --theme <theme path> Set greeter theme --socket <socket name> Set socket name --test-mode Start greeter in test mode Thought that just --test worked, but it tries to start sddm, but it also tries to start the daemon: [08:45:24.880] (EE) GREETER: Cannot connect to the daemon - is it running? This may be a source of some of your test problems.

Changing sessions works for me. Not it does not work. You are correct. I don't know how to fix. I've chosen elarun, because the lfs image has the two things occupying most part of the screen and elarun had a small box that fitted in between. > > I had thought that the low height (1080p) might be a problem, but at > the moment it is not.

I cropped out the Copyright. Was almost unreadable and looked like some dirt in the image. Yes, it is the day. Needed to decrease the size, because here: Qui Ago 20 09:01:27 BRT 2015 and it was displayed over the buttons. That was the only solution I found, after many unsuccessful attempts.

I have: $ cd /usr/share/sddm/themes/lfs/ $ file lfs.jpg images/background.png lfs.jpg: JPEG image data, JFIF standard 1.01, resolution (DPI), density 96x96, segment length 16, progressive, precision 8, 1680x1050, frames 3 images/background.png: PNG image data, 1920 x 1080, 8-bit/color RGBA, non-interlaced I need a PNG with the name background.png The other one, lfs.jpg, is only used for a user to check with an image viewer how the theme looks, and is generated by running sddm-greeter --test-mode --theme /usr/share/sddm/themes/lfs and making a screenshot. > The image in > Fernando's tarball is 1580x1050 and resizing to 1600x1200 is not working > properly. In addition the image has artificts that should not be there. The artifact were introduced, because after resizing, the image loses sharpness (is this the correct word in English?), so I ran gimp's "selective gaussian blur filter", with blur radius = 5.00 maximum delta = 50 > > If you want I can send you a properly scaled 1600x1200 jpeg to try. > > -- Bruce > But ISTR that I had the same problem as Ken, of things moving to the borders too much, with different sizes. Will test with 1600x1200 I only did this attempt, because I think it would be good having a (B)LFS theme, as it would also for lxdm. But I consider it a failure. ( Sorry, I was not in very good mood, because since yesterday I have a gastric problem bothering me. Better now, but needed to stop working, yesterday. And now I am in an even worse mood. Because systemd is attempting to start interfering with BLFS, after we had combined privately that it would not happen. For me systemd is curse. Since it started, it is always bringing problems to LFS and BLFS. ) -- []s, Fernando -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
