Theme doesn't load properly

[jamyouss]

I have the same issue :-(

This may or may not be solved with the completion of the 2.0 milestone: https://github.com/NoiSek/Aether/milestone/1

I'll start investigating this more once there's a new release in the pipeline, as almost all of the affected code will have changed.

[jamyouss]

Thanks 👍
Nice work by the way

The theme doesn't load at all for me. If I run lightdm-webkit2-greeter then there's a black screen telling me an error was detected in the theme (ignoring it gives the same black screen again). If I try to boot using it, the system hangs on the boot log and I have to switch to another TTY.

@djsavvy I ran into the same problem, i modified the theme name in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-gretter.conf from webkit_theme = lightdm-webkit-aether to webkit_theme = lightdm-webkit-theme-aether and now everything works fine.

An update has been pushed that may fix the original issue, but @djsavvy your issue sounds more like what I discovered here: #22 (comment)

I've encountered the issue where you get a black screen and an error message comes up saying errors were found in the theme. same as @djsavvy issue

[Rune580]

Actually I've found a solution. seems like the name of the theme is different to whats in the config. In my case the theme was named Aether but the conf had it as lightdm-webkit-theme-aether.

I have this error too, no matter what I name the theme in the config. I tried all of the options.

It does load if you ignore the dialogue
But it has the OS icon missing and a bunch of other things

Note, this is running on pop_os 19.04

If you've installed the theme via git you have rename the theme folder from Aether to lightdm-webkit-theme-aether, because it tries to access the wallpapers and the logos from there.

To do this you have to run:
# mv /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/Aether /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/lightdm-webkit-theme-aether
And don't forget to change the theme name in the lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf file.
