Rewaita doesnt affect gnome display manager (GDM) login screen

[toozklot]

Hi there, I'm very new to linux in general so i apologise if I'm misunderstanding things.

I just installed Rewrita, and the user themes extension and the theme has been applied to gnome shell and my apps just fine.
However, the theme simply does not apply at the login screen, is this a missing feature or have I missed something?

Thanks for your help!

You aren't using the app wrong, the feature hasn't been implemented.

Working inside the Flatpak sandbox means I am very restricted in what I can and cannot do. But even with that, changing system settings is a pain.

Unfortunately, like most things GNOME the devs locked it behind a convoluted api. GDM settings is only able to make those changes because they punched a massive hole in the sandbox.

You can kinda do it yourself with GDM settings as well, although the shell integration has a bunch of missing spots. I'm assuming they used some unique css classes for the lock screen that wasn't used for the normal shell.

My hope is that one day they will just attach the GDM theme to the user themes extension, but allas.

Despite all that though, this is still a feature I would like to add (its bugging me too). It's sitting up there with Firefox support as an issue I cannot solve.
