Is there a manual or does anyone know how to edit the (CSS) files for the LightDM GTK+ Greeter? I'm already using LightDM Greeter Settings, but I want more customization. Somehow the webkit greeter doesn't work properly on my system (themes are not showing up they way they should), so I'm hoping there is a way to just edit the "standard" greeter.

  • If it's CSS, you can look up help for whatever you need on that, or just experiment. May 18, 2015 at 13:21
  • There is not really a page (Googled it) with information on how to customize it. But I read a lot about theming it via CSS within your installed theme. But where should it be stored and how should it look like? That's something I can't find...

Thanks to A.B. I found that the CSS settings are imported into gtk.css in the GTK theme you use. The CSS file itself is named lightdm-gtk-greeter.css and should be in /usr/share/themes/(theme)/apps/
