        If you're serious with this, I would suggest to make a proper design proposal and maybe submit them to @CiberSheep .

        It would be great if the design is convergent so it'll work in portrait and landscape. Currently, the lockscreen has separate layout for portrait and landscape and no rotation support so if ever we redesign it, it's better to include the rotation support as well šŸ™‚

        Regarding the keyboard design, I'm not sure if we can include it in the total design of the lockscreen since it's a separate component which has its own theme.

          Ok... so don't get too high hopes, but I think I might be able to make tweak the login screen the way we imagine. Probably in a hacky way though.

          as I said I'm not a QML dev and might not be an option to be merged into master, but I will try my best.

          No, you are very good! Best of luck. I have never tried qml. I have been always using HTML & CSS.

          I think this is what we need to look at https://github.com/ubports/unity8/blob/xenial/qml/Components/Lockscreen.qml

          Okay, I'll compile it and run on my phone. I'll let you know how good/not good it is as soon as possible.

          I guess we need to try. Worst they can say is no.

          Yes, I think so.

            If you have a test device that you can reflash easily, you can install an IDE or text editor (i.e. Geany) in your root and use X-forwarding so that you can modify QML files directly and restart Lomiri. Just make sure your device automatically starts ssh upon boot so you can still connect to it and fix in case something goes wrong. Also, of course, backup first the original QML files.

              I think something like this with the default keyboard is the most realistic approach for a suggestion. @purplevvay do you have time to create mock-ups for the different orientations and desktop? Maby an emergency button could sit in the top left corner.
              I will try to get a design working in unity/lomiri in the meantime.

                @kugiigi I installed nano and modify stuff through ssh. That works pretty well and I can easily recover by undoing my changes.

                    Ive been doing some tinkering and start to understand how things work in Lomiri. I was able to tweak some things to get dark mode.

                        One problem I think is that Lomiri's internal code is using Suru Dark theme all the time, so using the themed palettes in the code won't be dynamic. Also, the keyboard is a separate component we can't rely the theming from it. So maybe, the design should be neutral to light and dark theme.

                            @kugiigi Exactly, thats why I highlighted that this was configured manually and is only the result testing only. How can we reliably tell which theme a user is using?

                              @aarontheissueguy Yes, I understand. Just saying some things to consider šŸ™‚
                              There's really no official way of setting the theme. That is yet to be implemented. But all the theme switcher apps on the store uses the config file ~/.config/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/theme.ini.
                              It's specifically for the Ubuntu UI toolkit so only apps that uses it are affected (qqc2 Suru theme is also affected because it also checks this config file). And currently this theme settings isn't used by the keyboard so system and the keyboard may also have different theme which may break the overall design if it relies on theme settings.

                                @kugiigi Ok I see thank you šŸ™‚ , We should focus on light theme than as long as the theming isn't officially supported properly. I also thought about programming an App that allows users to tweak lomiri to get more customization out of it I might resort to this if we cant get something merged with master.

                                  That's what I tried: lockscreen16x9-1.jpg

                                  Swiping is still the best for emergency (I think).
                                  Will make a vertical one too soon.

                                    But as you can see in my previous post :

                                    On the login screen some parts are not affected by suru dark theme.

                                      Is there a way to create a passphrase/pin bar using the elements that support theming?

                                      like this:

                                          @aarontheissueguy here was the start - https://github.com/ubports/unity8/pull/314

                                          just started with removing the background to let keyboard transparency work, and removing the hard-coded theme - unfortunately the theme is hard-coded to dark at a lower level for lomiri - then hard-coded back to light for notifications and lockscreen... so we would have to undo dark theme for the whole shell, and then retheme?

                                            @mateo_salta If I understood what you say correctly, that would require work in unity as a whole and not just the Greeter part, right? Id rather try to make the Login neutral to theming, I think the mockups @purplevvay made would work well in both scenarios.

                                            Anything else would probably result in even more work which requires better understanding of the source code and a person who actually is able to do the described things. (pls correct me if I misunderstood something here)

                                            Thanks I will take a look at what you did later. It seems similar to the things I tried in last days at a first glance. šŸ™‚
