Title: [SOLVED] Artix LXDE Configuration
Post by: sanderxy on 06 February 2021, 03:50:52
I like the look of the Artix's LXDE configuration that you get when you install Artix with the LXDE installation image, but I want to install Artix from the base installation image. Is there an easy way to install all of the configuration options for Artix's LXDE configuration and, if not, what options do I need to set to get it?

Hi,

If you mean which packages are being used for branding, you may check here (https://gitea.artixlinux.org/linuxer/iso-profiles/src/branch/master/lxde/Packages-Root#L145)

What @linuxer said, but install them before you create user accounts. Lightdm is themed with this:

Thank you! This worked great. The only thing that doesn't seem right is grub, which still looks the same even after installing the "artix-grub-theme" package. Does this need extra configuration? Also I found the font Roboto wasn't installed by any of the other packages, so I installed "ttf-roboto" and "ttf-roboto-mono" before setting the lightdm configuration. Anyway, thanks for the help!

You can use any font you like, Roboto in lightdm is set for consistency with the DEs.

Installing the grub theme alone won't activate it. Put GRUB_THEME="/usr/share/grub/themes/artix/theme.txt" in /etc/default/grub and recreate grub.cfg.
