note

• parts of UI template and tests are AI generated (grok)

• need permanant storage to re-hydrate your widget ? :

    $ GREETER_HOME_PATH=/home/greeter
    ## or GREETER_HOME_PATH=/etc/greetd/greeter

    $ sudo mkdir -p $GREETER_HOME_PATH 
    $ sudo mkdir -p $GREETER_HOME_PATH/.cache 
    $ sudo mkdir -p $GREETER_HOME_PATH/.config 
    $ sudo mkdir -p $GREETER_HOME_PATH/.icons
    $ sudo mkdir -p $GREETER_HOME_PATH/.local
    $ sudo mkdir -p $GREETER_HOME_PATH/.local/share
    ## you can now configure this user with custom icons, configs, etc...

    $ sudo chown -R greeter:greeter $GREETER_HOME_PATH
    $ sudo chmod -R 770 $GREETER_HOME_PATH
    $ sudo usermod -d $GREETER_HOME_PATH greeter

• GTK and C++ parts are inspired by wf-shell
