Has anybody been creative with their lockscreens? Show them, I need inspiration.

I find v5 lockscreen options somewhat limiting both in the non compact password widget and in what I can do with the other widgets, especially the weather one. Hopefully they will come out with a separate forecast widget that reads from left to right instead of top to bottom at some point. Has anybody done anything interesting? I'm guessing most people don't even care. Adhd is a hell of a thing lol. But hey! I look at my lockscreen more than anything else and its important at least to me.

Why do I need to use windows in order to download anything? This is ridiculous. I don’t want to use this inferior OS

You need to bring back the download button on the web page version or release a Linux app. This is bullshit

Since nobody is really here anyways. This is my venting thread.

I really like and appreciate the devs making this project happen especially considering they had to redo everything from the ground up essentially. But WHY is certain things in the compact lock screen options forced on me like this "Type your password and press Enter" caption. Is this really necessary to make this a non removable element? I'm trying to go minimal. I like the actual lock panel to be a small as possible while providing info that I want. I like how these widgets are unlocking my creativity. like for example with the forecast to get it the size i want i have to have at minimum a bunch of space to the left , to the right or like here both to the left and the right.. It gave me the idea to layer the time , the date, and the sysmon on top of it, but thats just something else that is annoying. Ideally, Id make this thing show just a 3 day forecast including TODAYS forecast unlike now where it only shows current temp on current day. What say you guys? any gripes? Any of you other 5 have anything to say? lol

I will miss you, v4 but it's time to say good bye. V5 crushes you and is good enough to meet my needs now.

heres a little before and after...

Since my last post was brigaded by the systemd/gnu/linux crowd I want to thank them

I can't be the only one that finds it weird when people try to insult you over a software decision that YOU made on YOUR system, right? Especially when it's Linux or open source software more broadly. It was a great source of inspiration and after thinking about it they were sort of right. "liberated" after the days without systemd was kind of lame. So out of nowhere today I had the idea to just randomize the readout between 7 different options. I'm much happier with this. So thanks to those doofuses. They love to claim I "spent all my time on this" I bet they do it again over a simple bash -c $(stat -c echo -e

dinit users: do you have any non conventional services setup like I do?

So this one , icon-theme I made to ensure that my preferred gtk theme settings. Its called "icon-theme" but in reality it sets my gtk theme, icons, font, and mouse cursor (everything you can change in lxappearance / nwg-look) on boot, then whichever compositor I log into, I'm good. I just wanted to know if anybody has came up with something odd like this?? This one absolutely works. I wonder what davmac would say lol

I can't decide which starship prompt I want to go with between these two . My take on powerline and my take on end 4s prompt.

I have added an ansi color key map for coloring text and glyphs as well as a python script that will run thru any png you add to the png folder and resize it to 400x400 and add some padding to make it fit a square box.

in case anybody has problems with greetd dms (dankmaterial shell) greeter I finally got it working again.

This is for using https://danklinux.com/docs/dankgreeter/ on artix dinit. it should work with other inits too.

after installing dms, run:
dms greeter install

then

dms greeter enable (it will complain you don't have systemctl)

install greetd-dinit (or whatver your init system specific package)

sudo dinitctl enable greetd (or however your init works: activate greetd service)

go into /etc/greetd/config.toml and edit it to this:

[terminal]
# The VT to run the greeter on. Can be "next", "current" or a number
# designating the VT.
vt = 1

# The default session, also known as the greeter.
[default_session]

# `agreety` is the bundled agetty/login-lookalike. You can replace `/bin/sh`
# with whatever you want started, such as `sway`.
command = "/etc/greetd/dms-greeter-launch.sh"

# The user to run the command as. The privileges this user must have depends
# on the greeter. A graphical greeter may for example require the user to be
# in the `video` group.
user = "greeter"

then we have to make the /etc/greetd/dms-greeter-launch.sh script with this content (my example uses niri):

#!/bin/sh
export XDG_SESSION_TYPE=wayland
export QT_QPA_PLATFORM=wayland
export QT_WAYLAND_DISABLE_WINDOWDECORATION=1
export EGL_PLATFORM=gbm


exec dbus-run-session -- dms-greeter --command niri -p /home/YOURUSERNAME/.config/quickshell/dms

you can try it with hyprland instead of niri.. but i use niri for it.

make that script executable

sudo chmod +x /etc/greetd/dms-greeter-launch.sh


sudo usermod -aG video,input,seat greeter

sudo usermod -aG video,input,seat,greeter yourusername

here is /usr/local/bin/greetd-pre-start we need to create ourselves:

#!/bin/sh
mkdir -p /run/greetd
chown greetd:greetd /run/greetd
chmod 0711 /run/greetd
exit 0

EDIT: I FORGOT A BUNCH OF THIS WHEN I FIRST MADE THE POST. APOLOGIES

i forgot to mention or include the greetd.pre file i created. you will need to create this and enable it with
sudo dinitctl enable greetd-pre. (it will run the greetd-pre-start we just made)
/etc/dinit.d/greetd-pre :

type = scripted

command = /usr/local/bin/greetd-pre-start

after = local.target

sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/greetd-pre-start

ln -s /etc/dinit.d/greetd-pre /etc/dinit.d/boot.d/

ln -s /etc/dinit.d/greetd /etc/dinit.d/boot.d/

sudo dinitctl enable greetd

sudo dinitctl enable greetd-pre

then you can reboot and profit.

I was using lightdm but lightdm sucks

"is it worth it"? probably not to you. I think so though. Here is a screen shot of the DMS lockscreen (almost the same elements as the greeter, it just adds weather and removes the session chooser. I set it up with Aldrich font.

I love noctalia shell

That being said I shouldn't have to use advanced scripting to accomplish a lower sized "am/pm" and to move the clock away from the edge. I love the versatility of what you can do with it though. I wish I could tell you this only took me a few moments to configure but that's kinda on me and my ocd. I love how if you use the color scheme creator plugin , and you select a wallpaper as a favorite, you can then choose and it will automatically pull that same color theme you had when you set it. That's pretty cool if you tend to switch colors / wallpapers fairly often.

If you want or need an alternative way to install artix (that actually works) check this installer I found.

This is a must if you have want refind installed outta the gate. ( I have 3 boot drives). And there are more environments to choose like Hyprland, Cosmic, Icewm, etc.
https://github.com/feribsd/artix-install

All credit goes to the creator and if he happens to see my post on here, thanks for your work. Use this with a weekly version of the base iso. Also, its easier to use than archinstall if you ever used that.
