gdm-tools's Issues

Add option to make install.sh hands-free

I want to install gdm-tools automatically, hands-free via ansible, however, it hangs on certain parts:
the apt install ... and the interactive copy cp -i requires user input.

The apt package dependencies are easier to fix, as simply installing them separately fixes the issue.

However, for the interactive copies I would like to have a: -F|--force Overwrite gdm-tools configuration files, so that it dies not hang.

Optionally, having a deb package would solve both issues, though it might be an overkill.

Please add other relevent values to gnomeconf2gdm

Description

Please also add gtk-theme, cursor-size, and text-scaling-factor in gnomeconf2gdm.

Explaination

I have modified /usr/local/bin/gnomeconf2gdm:

  printValues 'Interface' 'org/gnome/desktop/interface'\
              'cursor-theme
               icon-theme
               show-battery-percentage
               clock-show-weekday
               clock-format'

with:

  printValues 'Interface' 'org/gnome/desktop/interface'\
              'clock-show-weekday
               clock-format
               cursor-theme
               cursor-size
               gtk-theme
               icon-theme
               show-battery-percentage
               text-scaling-factor'

It seems to have worked (not sure about gtk-theme dconf value though).

And if gdm3 can set other dconf values from /etc/dconf/db/gdm.d/99-gnomeconf2gdm then please also add them as well.

As close the gdm look to the desktop the better.

Please add cursor change

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Its annoying that I can't set an icon theme for gdm.

Describe the solution you'd like
You should add a way to set the gdm icon theme.

Ubuntu 21.10 compatibility

In Ubuntu 21.10 the theme css file is no longer gdm3.css but gdm.css, GDM looks for the gdm.css file but it doesn't exist. Adding the gdm.css file inside gnome-shell-theme.gresource the theme is loaded correctly.

As of now, the script will cause a blank error screen at boot.
I've edited the script to use gdm.css and it works.

I also had to use sudo update-alternatives --config gdm-theme.gresource and select the one that was edited, the manual should mention this might be needed.

Any way to scale the login (greeter) screen to 2x with gdm-tools

Description

Not sure if this should be a feature request, or I just missed something in the man pages. I have login screens that don't seem to respect the scaling set in the running gdm theme? Don't know if I'm saying this right, I'd like to scale the greeter screen 2x without doing it globally if possible.

Multi-monitors background scale

On multi-monitors, the background image will be stretched to all screens, which will cause the background image to be blurred and the scale is inappropriate. Can the background image be displayed separately on each monitor?

I love this tool very much!

I am no longer able to set an image as a background

Hi,
The previous version worked fine with Ubuntu 20.04.2 LTS.
I have updated the script with the latest changes, but I am no longer able to set an image as a background.
I can only change the background color and theme.

I tried to reset with:
set-gdm-theme -r
Without results..

I do:
apt install --reinstall gnome-shell-common
And reinstall everything again, but without solving anything..

Thank, you,
Francesco

Showing wrong/unknown background.

The image I'm trying to set is a pure dark png but instead I get a blurry picture of something that looks like a mountain. I have no idea where that image came from.

[~] ➤ set-gdm-theme -l

Sorry for the poor quality image. I couldn't figure out how to take screenshot in gdm.

"Show password" icon missing in gdm after setting theme.

I'm using ZorinPurple-Dark Theme.
The theme is working but the "show password" icon inside the password input is showing a wierd image. (also tried with Orchis theme, still missing)

Also looks like I get an error while using set-gdm-theme

[~] ➤ set-gdm-theme -l

EDIT: Could not find a way to take screenshot in gdm so here's a crappy photo from my phone's camera.
