Created attachment 591230 [details] ebuild for installing slick-greeter After ligthdm-gtk-greeter started to depend on XFCE components, I have started looking for alternative DE-neutral GTK greeters. I found lightdm-mini-greeter and stuck with it for a while, but I never was happy with its quite limited capabilities, so I kept searching. Recently I have discovered slick-greeter from Linux Mint (https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter) and was happy to create an ebuild and install it on my system. Sharing the ebuild here in hope that one day it can find its place in the Portage tree. Note: the upstream package is called just "slick-greeter", but I have decided to call it lightdm-slick-greeter to be in alignment with other greeters and promote discoverability. Please feel free to let me know if there is a need to perform any improvements to the ebuild. Regards, Garry
Created attachment 591288 [details] slick-greeter ebuild with numlockx support Upon further investigation I noticed that slick-greeter can use numlockx to set Num Lock keyboard status at login screen. Adding a flag into the ebuild to pull numlockx and enable the feature.
Created attachment 591294 [details] slick-greeter ebuild with additional dependencies Added extra dependencies that are necessary for the greeter to operate properly. Still investigating on-screen keyboard feature.
