Description Simon Oosthoek 2018-04-10 12:53:42 UTC
I'm running 5.8.9-0ubuntu1~ubuntu16.04~ppa5 on ubuntu 16.04 (from backports)

I've configured the screen locker to show images when I've locked my screen. It would be nice to hide the login/new session elements in the middle of the screen after a couple of seconds inactivity of the mouse and keyboard.

Reducing the size and moving the minimized login to the edge of the screen would also be good. 

The main result would be a clear view of the images when not attempting to login or unlock the screen. As soon as the mouse is moved or the keyboard is pressed, the elements needed to login or start a new session should return to the main part of the screen.

Cheers

/Simon

Marking this as dublicate of the 369676. The Plasma developers are working to make the lockscreen and the login screen more readable.

Meanwhile there is the Breeze Custom Lock Screen - https://store.kde.org/p/1216681/ .

If you mean something else - please reopen...
