Cannot get lightdm theme the same as my main theme

nl_boris · 2018-08-21 18:44:36

Hi all,

I use Adwaita as a theme for both in the xfce appearance setting and lightdm setting, but when I logout the theme changes to some kind of arc theme (I guess). Any idea what is causing this?

Got a video to demonstrate, but not sure how to link it here.

Thanks,
Rob

How are you setting your LightDM appearance options? Are you doing it manually or via lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings?

Post your /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and your greeter conf so /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf for the GTK greeter.

Thanks guys for replying

I use lightdm-gtk-greeter-setting app for setting the options

Beneath /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and /etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf files:
