Create a stylish login screen (LightDM Greeter)

[fossfreedom]

Currently budgie-remix ships with the standard lightdm-gtk-greeter.

Need to find someone with CSS skills to create a stylish budgie-remix greeter - maybe something based around the unity-greeter?

Suggestions/mockups etc welcome

There is an Arc theme for LightDM, why not use that?

As far as I can see, we already are using the arc-theme to style the lightdm-gtk-greeter.

This bug report is really to look at something better - more stylish that the plain lightdm-gtk-greeter. Possibly even look at other greeters such as sddm.

I thought it may have already been Arc themed, but I wasn't sure. I never paid much attention to it.

Personally, I think that LightDM fits in pretty well with Budgie Remix's look.

Also, we should probably stick with what works for Budgie Remix's first "official flavor" release. Theming shouldn't be a problem, but completely switching the desktop manager is just asking for trouble.

ok - for 17.10 we are now using slick-greeter.
