cp -r sddm-slice/slice /usr/share/sddm/themes/slice

Configuration

Create file theme.conf.user in theme folder. See slice/theme.conf for reference.

Base options

font - overall font. Defaults to Roboto.
background - path to background image. If not set, falls back to color_bg. Not set by default.
bg_mode - background image fill mode. Can be either aspect, fill, tile or none. Defaults to aspect.
parallax_bg_shift - shifting of parallax background on tab change in pixels. 0 disables parallax motion. Negative values will scroll background in opposite direction. Default is 20.

Debug mode options

There are some things that can't be tested well in greeter (e.g. shutdown options or login error). So there is a debug mode.

Boolean options

You can use "0/1", "true/false" and "yes/no" on boolean options. All debug options are disabled by default.

debug - activates debug mode.
debug_can_power_off - sets sddm.canPowerOff (shows "Shutdown").
debug_can_reboot - sets sddm.canReboot (shows "Reboot").
debug_can_suspend - sets sddm.canSuspend (shows "Suspend").
debug_can_hibernate - sets sddm.canHibernate (shows "Hibernate").
debug_can_hybrid_sleep - sets sddm.canHybridSleep (shows "Hybrid Sleep").
debug_login_error - forces login error.

Number options

debug_login_timeout - time between pressing "Login" and login error in seconds. Not effective if debug_login_error is disabled.

String options

debug_hostname - sets sddm.hostName.

Color scheme

There are many color options. In fact, too many. So now they are grouped by layers in color scheme. Most of them are optional, only mandatory options are from layer 1:

color_bg - background color. Defaults to #222222.
color_main - main color. Defaults to #dddddd.
color_dimmed - dimmed main color. Defaults to #888888.
color_contrast - color that contrasting to both main and dimmed. Defaults to #1f1f1f.

Info about other layers can be found on wiki: layer 2, layer 3.
