LXDM Login Theming Setup

Introduction

The ArchLinux Workstations are themed with either the ACM Logo or LUG logo. They are set to alternate between workstations.

Setup

Setup the ACM custom repo on the workstation first

Install themes with this command and follow the post install instructions 

pacman -S acm-lug-lxdm-themes

Unpack this archive with the ACM and LUG themes into /usr/share/lxdm/themes

This is setup by several files:

The directory also contains the Xsession file, which should not be edited manually

LoginReady - This is executed as root when LXDM is ready to show the screen.

PreLogin - Executed by LXDM as root.

SetLogo - Contains the sed regex for the link and IP, the 'even' and 'odd' themes settings, and detects which theme to use.
