I had a look at "/usr/share/sddm/themes/breeze-openSUSE". There is a "theme.conf" file, which contains:
background=components/artwork/1920x1080.jpg
which is a relative path. In that location there is a symlink to the actual picture. So you just need to take the picture and add a text to it. No need to create a new theme, just alter one.
On every machine I install? What if the hostname changes?
Hum. Good point. Then the script has to run on every boot, creating your copy of the background. On /etc/cron.d/something @boot, perhaps. Make the theme point to your file (probably with sed or something), and make sure the file contains the correct text.
As to the lock screen . what displays it? I think it is the screensaver. So just choose one that displays a photo. Can be a full black with a text.
I asked about screensavers a while ago, I'm sure I was told they're all gone. No need or no interest.
Ah. Maybe on KDE, but certainly not on XFCE (and I guess Gnome). It is xscreensaver which locks the display for sure. I can see it in "ps afxu" output. I don't run KDE, so I can't verify what app or thing displays the lock screen. What do you get when it locks, black? diplay powers off? What happens when you push a key, what do you get? A prompt text? No image?
Perhaps you could create a script that hacks this in any machine reading the current hostname.
Just a thought - an awful lot of work for something that used to be standard.
Yes. Such is progress. Software is replaced, not improved. Maintenance mode is gone. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" (Minas Tirith))
