tanin-greet

TANINUX's custom GTK4 greeter for greetd. Built because ReGreet's layout is fixed — this gives full control to match the design:

a black top bar like the eww topbar (TANINUX · clock · power)
a wallpaper background under a dark scrim
user + password centered as pills (Fuji violet focus ring, Enter submits)
the session selector tucked tiny in the bottom-right corner

It speaks the greetd IPC directly (create_session → auth → start_session) and is hosted by cage.

Files

tanin-greet → /usr/bin/tanin-greet — the GTK4 app (PyGObject)
tanin-greet.css → /etc/greetd/tanin-greet.css — the look (mirrors eww.scss)
config.toml → /etc/greetd/config.toml — greetd; cage -s -- tanin-greet
dev/ → preview helper + greetd mock (not packaged)

Preview (no logout, no real auth)

./dev/preview.sh                 # uses your current wallpaper path
./dev/preview.sh /path/to/wall.jpg
# screenshot lands at /tmp/tanin-greet.png ; override output with GREET_OUTPUT=HDMI-A-1

The greeter renders even without greetd; dev/mockgreetd.py provides a fake socket so the password prompt and login flow work for a full dry-run.

Env overrides (used by the preview)

TANIN_GREET_CSS stylesheet path (default /etc/greetd/tanin-greet.css)
TANIN_GREET_BG wallpaper path (default /usr/share/backgrounds/tanin/login.jpg)
TANIN_GREET_SESSIONS sessions dir (default /usr/share/wayland-sessions)
TANIN_GREET_BRAND top-bar text (default TANINUX)

Install (on the distro)

makepkg -si
sudo systemctl enable greetd     # disable any other DM first

Drop a login wallpaper at /usr/share/backgrounds/tanin/login.jpg (or ship a tanin-backgrounds package). Without one, the greeter shows a dark scrim.

Notes

Sessions are read from /usr/share/wayland-sessions/*.desktop; Niri is the default selection. Users are read from /etc/passwd (uid 1000–65533, real shell).
Icons (avatar-default-symbolic, system-shutdown-symbolic) come from adwaita-icon-theme.
