LightDM greeter made with WebKit2GTK

Sea Greeter

Another LightDM greeter made with WebKitGTK2

Sea (like C) greeter for LightDM allows to create themes with web technologies, the same as web-greeter, nody-greeter and the outdated lightdm-webkit2-greeter. This project aims to be similar to the last one, as sea-greeter is made with webkit2 instead of chromium.

Known issues

There are lots of issues, even not documented here, so it is not recommended to use this greeter yet. However, it is functional :D

• Multi-monitor support.
  • Add greeter_comm JavaScript API
  • Parse index.yml to load secondary.html
• Brightness feature support
• Battery feature support
• Detect theme errors prompt
• Memory management might not be correct; possible memory leaks. (I hope this is fixed)
• Add themes
• Add config
