# Dependencies

- SDDM ≥ 0.21;
- QT ≥ 6.5;
- qt6-svg;
- qt6-virtualkeyboard
- qt6-multimedia
- qt6-imageformats

# Installation
[`Install script`](#Install-script) [`AUR packages`](#AUR-packages-for-arch) [`GURU package`](#GURU-package-for-gentoo) [`NixOS flake`](#NixOS-flake) [`Manual installation`](#Manual-installation) [`Pling/KDE Store`](#plingkde-store)

## Install script
Just clone the repo and run the script:

```bash
git clone -b main --depth=1 https://github.com/uiriansan/SilentSDDM && cd SilentSDDM && ./install.sh
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Make sure to test the theme before rebooting by running `./test.sh`, otherwise you might end up with a broken login screen. Refer to the [snippets page](https://github.com/uiriansan/SilentSDDM/wiki/Snippets) if something goes wrong and [open an issue](https://github.com/uiriansan/SilentSDDM/issues/new/choose) if you don't find the solution there.

## AUR packages for Arch
If you run Arch Linux, consider installing one of the AUR packages:

##### [`Stable version`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sddm-silent-theme):
```bash
yay -S sddm-silent-theme
```
##### [`Git version`](https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/sddm-silent-theme-git):
```bash
yay -S sddm-silent-theme-git
```
Then, replace the current theme and set the environment variables in `/etc/sddm.conf`:
```
sudoedit /etc/sddm.conf
```

```bash


# Make sure these options are correct:
[General]
InputMethod=qtvirtualkeyboard
GreeterEnvironment=QML2_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/share/sddm/themes/silent/components/,QT_IM_MODULE=qtvirtualkeyboard

[Theme]
Current=silent
```
Finally, test the theme to make sure everything is working:
```bash
cd /usr/share/sddm/themes/silent/
./test.sh
```
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Refer to the [snippets page](https://github.com/uiriansan/SilentSDDM/wiki/Snippets) if something goes wrong and [open an issue](https://github.com/uiriansan/SilentSDDM/issues/new/choose) if you don't find the solution there.

## GURU package for Gentoo
If you run Gentoo linux, consider installing the GURU package

1. Enable the GURU repository
```bash
emerge -av eselect-repository
eselect repository enable guru
emaint sync -r guru
```

2. Unmask the required packages. Add this to your packages.accept_keywords:
```
# for the git version use
# x11-misc/silent-sddm-theme **
x11-misc/silent-sddm-theme ~amd64
media-fonts/redhat ~amd64
```

3. Install SilentSDDM
```bash
emerge -av x11-misc/silent-sddm-theme
```

4. Add the following to /etc/sddm.conf and restart SDDM
```
[General]
InputMethod=qtvirtualkeyboard
GreeterEnvironment=QML2_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/share/sddm/themes/silent/components/,QT_IM_MODULE=qtvirtualkeyboard
[Theme]
Current=silent
```

## NixOS flake
For NixOS with flakes enabled, first include this flake into your flake inputs:
```nix
inputs = {
   silentSDDM = {
      url = "github:uiriansan/SilentSDDM";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
   };
};
```

Next, import the default nixosModule and set the enable option
```nix
{
  inputs,
  ...
}: {
    imports = [inputs.silentSDDM.nixosModules.default];
    programs.silentSDDM = {
        enable = true;
        theme = "rei";
        # settings = { ... }; see example in module
    };
}
```

That's it! SilentSDDM should now be installed and configured.
You may now run the `test-sddm-silent` executable for testing.
For further configuration read the [module](./nix/module.nix) option descriptions and examples.

> [!NOTE]
> Since the module adds extra dependencies to SDDM, 
> you may need to restart for the theme to work correctly.

### Local development and testing under nix
First git clone the repository and cd into the resulting directory
```bash
git clone https://github.com/uiriansan/SilentSDDM.git
cd SilentSDDM/
```

Now you may make changes to the contents and test them out using the
following

```bash
nix run .#test
```

cd SilentSDDM/
```
> [!NOTE]
> You can also get the compressed files from the [latest release](https://github.com/uiriansan/SilentSDDM/releases/latest).

### 3. Test the theme to make sure you have all dependencies:
```bash
./test.sh
```
> [!IMPORTANT]
> Refer to the [snippets page](https://github.com/uiriansan/SilentSDDM/wiki/Snippets) if something goes wrong and [open an issue](https://github.com/uiriansan/SilentSDDM/issues/new/choose) if you don't find the solution there.

### 4. Copy the theme to `/usr/share/sddm/themes/`:
```bash
cd SilentSDDM/
sudo mkdir -p /usr/share/sddm/themes/silent
sudo cp -rf . /usr/share/sddm/themes/silent/
```

### 5. Install the fonts:
```bash
sudo cp -r /usr/share/sddm/themes/silent/fonts/* /usr/share/fonts/
```

### 6. Replace the current theme and set the environment variables in `/etc/sddm.conf`:
```bash
sudoedit /etc/sddm.conf
```

```bash
# Make sure these options are correct:
[General]
InputMethod=qtvirtualkeyboard
GreeterEnvironment=QML2_IMPORT_PATH=/usr/share/sddm/themes/silent/components/,QT_IM_MODULE=qtvirtualkeyboard

[Theme]
Current=silent
```

## Pling/KDE Store
The theme is also available in [Planet Linux'ing Groups](https://www.pling.com/p/2298627/) & [KDE Store](https://store.kde.org/p/2298627).

# Customizing

The preset configs are located in `./configs/`. To change the active config, edit `./metadata.desktop` and replace the value of `ConfigFile=`:

```bash
ConfigFile=configs/<your_preferred_config>.conf
```

> [!NOTE]
> Changes to the login screen will only take effect when made in `/usr/share/sddm/themes/silent/`. If you've changed things in the cloned directory, copy them with `sudo cp -rf SilentSDDM/. /usr/share/sddm/themes/silent/`

<br/>

You can also create your own config file. There's a guide with the list of available options (there are more than 200 of them xD) in the [wiki](https://github.com/uiriansan/SilentSDDM/wiki/Customizing).

> [!IMPORTANT]
> Don't forget to test the theme after every change by running `./test.sh`, otherwise you might end up with a broken login screen.

There are some extra tips on how to customize the theme on the [snippets page](https://github.com/uiriansan/SilentSDDM/wiki/Snippets).
