I'm currently trying (and failing) to make a system icon theme for the Ubuntu LightDM login screen. I really hate the default ubuntu-mono-dark
icons, and would like to use my own set of icons.
After experimenting with icon names for a few hours, Google searching for a bit, and referring to existing system themes like gnome
, and ubuntu-mono*
, I can't determine which of the hundreds of icons are actually used at the login screen.
So, I'm looking for two things here really:
- What categories of icons does LightDM use? actions, apps, stock, status, etc?
- What are the names of the icons that LightDM looks for?
From what I can tell, the indicators seem to be the same ones from the Unity desktop space (indicator-power
, nm-applet
, indicator-sound
, indicator-keyboard
, etc.). As such, I would've thought that using icon-names associated with those indicators would work, however LightDM doesn't seem to like the names that I'm using and simply shows an incomplete theme at login.
Note that I am aware that LightDM only looks for icons under /usr/share/icons/
and that I've been the applying theme with ubuntu-tweak.
EDIT: After struggling with getting the names, I still haven't found the correct answer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
