Display disclaimer on login and lock screen UM20.04

Hi :ubuntu_mate: community !

I would like to display a kind of disclaimer, not the one that have to be accepted or refused, but only a informative one, on both login screen and the lock screen.

I would like this to be looking something like this :

I have been searching on the web since a while to achieve that, but all solutions that I found are nor to complicated to set up for a simple disclaimer or, will pop once you have provided credentials.

I guess, lightdm is building this vue using a kind of css or a configuration file, but up to now, I didn't found how to do that :slight_smile:

Please help !

Hi Olek,
As for the login screen disclaimer; maybe a (transparent) disclaimer picture with the text in it bottom left? This one can easily be set by the "login window" application or sudo lightdm-settings.

Perfect ! It's gonna do the work :slight_smile:

Many thanks @Geus :slight_smile:

Great, no problem at all! No clue about the lockscreen though.
Not too sure what dimensions to use for the image. Takes some fiddling to get it right.
Slick-greeter documentation doesn't mention anything about it either. Pixels nor scale requirements as far as I can see.

The "disclaimer" image here is 800x100 pixels if that helps.

Yap :slight_smile: I have set up a small png image with some text 600px by max 100px - otherwise the bottom of the image is not visible. GIMP is a good friend for that !

For the lock screen, it was less important. Having this little thing at login screen will be really enough :slight_smile: thank you once again :ok_hand:
