Thank you lokawn for your rating and feedback. Would you care to elaborate on "vertical direction"? I'm not sure I understand you well. Are you using a rotated monitor? There's an issue tracker directly accessible from the tabs above as well. I would appreciate more details on your setup! - Jul 29 2019
Also please don't hesitate to report any bugs or issues you find with the virtual keyboard if you use it! Thanks for your feedback. - Jul 12 2019
Thank you NickLion (*’▽’)ノ＾—==━☆゜.*
I'm not sure if I understand you well. I think you got two desires: Have your custom changes to theme.conf stick when I push an update. This is easily accomplished by cloning the theme.conf to a copy called theme.conf.user and change things there. I will mention this in the README.
The second one I assume is you would like to be able to quickly switch your made layouts. This is not possible by design of how SDDM works and is integrated into distros. I would love such an option too but it's not my responsibility as a theme creator. It would call a complete program. I can only adhere to what is available by design.
That said you could create various copies of theme.conf and name them accordingly. Like centered-fullblur.conf or right-to-left.conf and then when you feel like changing back up the original theme.conf and rename one of those.
If I understand you right I think these are valid arguments, but it needs to be done by the end user (you). I will also mention the second argument in the README.
Thanks for the feedback! - Jul 12 2019
Thank you arielaxionl c⌒っ╹v╹ )っ
The virtual keyboard is in itself an optional dependency for SDDM. The theme now provides support for it but I won't mention it specifically as it is a very rare use case. Most of us only know of its existence because some distros install it without us even knowing. Hope you enjoy! - Jul 12 2019

Thank you for the love mrcuve0 I appreciate it. The backgrounds are either from pexels.com which is completely free stock or from wallhaven.cc which is a bit shadier to me but tons of great images on both. Should mention that in the credits actually. - Jul 06 2019

Hey mshayden. These are only directories as outlined above. It does not include any hardware icons as found usually in /theme/devices. A HDD icon is provided since it is by default found in /theme/places. I may be up for additions but I won't include a whole set of hardware devices for now. If you want point me to a screenshot of your request. Hope you enjoy! - Jun 28 2019
Thank you skahbo23, appreciate it! - Jun 16 2019
Hey mshayden no worries. This has finally been resolved with the release of v1.1 - KDE changed the path for the default empty folder icon. Radical change which made me go mad for two days...finally found it though :D - Jun 15 2019
You make me blush, thank you for your kind words. They are very much appreciated. - Feb 10 2019
Hello mshayden. Have you tried to "[...] remove /var/tmp/kdecache-$USER/icon-cache.kcache where $USER is the name of the user having the icon issues.", like described? I've had this issue myself before. Let me know if this worked for you. - Feb 02 2019

Hallo tflori, ist mir bisher gar nicht aufgefallen...Das Widget ist lediglich eine leicht manipulierte standard KDE Uhr. Muss ich mal reinschauen. Das sollte im besten Fall natuerlich das aktuell gewaehlte Format vom System sein. Danke fuer den Hinweis! - Apr 25 2019
Hello bluekde. I hear you. This is a special use case. This widget is based on the kde system clock plasmoid and therefore not adequate for the job you describe, as almost any other clock widget. This is very unusual but I think it is a niche and maybe I'll write one in the future because I like the idea. Greetings. - Feb 02 2019

Thank you l4k1 ( •⌄• ू )✧ - Jun 22 2019
Hey nicosariego,
I'm sorry for the inconvenience, this is most likely related to the below discussed version requirements.
Line 20 Column 20 in Main.qml is the very first very basic Qt import statement which reads "import QtQuick 2.11".
If this was a formatting issue where Qt would hard require the semicolon then every other user would have this error and not be able to use the theme at all.
You may try to add the semicolon after those import statements in Main.qml and see if that makes a difference for your Qt version, in that case it's indeed a requirement that was removed in newer Qt versions. From there you'd probably get more formatting errors because this was specifically written to newer versions. - Jun 22 2019
I would really advice against partial upgrades to system libraries on a LTS kernel. Qt is a pretty extensive library that provides functions for many programs. Things might break. - Jun 22 2019
Sorry for the late reply and the inconvenience. The behavior of the SDDM virtual keyboard is a pain for us creators as it gets forcely loaded by SDDM by default if there is no logic implemented to handle it otherwise. Maybe in some future I'll implement this well. - Feb 02 2019
Hello vaxxipooh sorry indeed, distro versions with Qt lacking behind would have to upgrade. I see that Kubuntu latest is 18.10 Cosmic. Any reason not to do the upgrade? :) - Nov 04 2018

Hey ramen. Download the plasma-chili.tar.gz file to your Home folder and open a new terminal. (The path in the following command changes if you save it elsewhere) You can copy paste the following command if you wish to do so or analyze it and execute it step by step:

sudo tar -xzf ~/plasma-chili.tar.gz && sudo cp -R ~/plasma-chili /usr/share/sddm/themes/plasma-chili

This will ask for your password. You should then be able to set your newly installed theme from the system settings. If you're not then you should copy the SDDM default config file and edit it:

sudo cp /usr/lib/sddm/sddm.conf.d/default.conf /etc/sddm.conf && sudo nano /etc/sddm.conf

This will open an editor where you will have to find the [Theme] section and change: Current=plasma-chili
Take note that Plasma 5.8.6 is quite behind the current stable version of KDE and may present unknown behavior. Everything should be fine though. - May 07 2019
There are three settings concerning the blur effect in your theme.conf file which can be usually found at /usr/share/SDDM/themes/chili. These are Blur=true , RecursiveBlurLoops=40 & RecursiveBlurRadius=4 . Loops are the iterations used repeating the blur and the radius the strongness of each iteration. Play around with these to see how they effect the effect :D - May 01 2019
Thank you :D - Feb 25 2019
Hey Neules, why not just try out and tell us? :D I suppose we all would like to know ;) - Feb 25 2019
Hello turboteddy sorry for the late reply. Usually these types of bugs are upstream. SDDM has some serious issues and the development seems somewhat stalled. Please refer to their Github for a lot of bugs. As to work around the black screen you could access your system as root on a different tty and unset the theme in sddm.conf. Please refer to the Arch wiki on SDDM for where this file can be found. - Jan 05 2019
As long as the KDE desktop environment is installed on your system it doesn't matter if you actually login with XFCE or Gnome or w/e else. This theme requires KDE because it does some calls to its API. But the actual OS, the linux distro on which you are should not matter. Usually any bugs encountered are mostly upstream, which means more serious problems in SDDM itself. - Jan 05 2019
Thank you so much for your kind words Neules. Actually it's really easy to customize things through the config. It's just using variables as values for a very visual language which is QML. I maybe might do a tut one day, who knows ;) - Nov 19 2018
