Theme doesn't load properly

[pandaxtc]

After installing the theme, upon reaching the greeter, a dialog appears indicating that an error was detected in the theme. If the dialog is ignored, the theme does load, but many UI elements are broken. The OS logo doesn't appear, the wallpapers don't load, and the drop-down menus and buttons in the settings menu are broken.

I have the same issue :-(

This may or may not be solved with the completion of the 2.0 milestone: https://github.com/NoiSek/Aether/milestone/1

I'll start investigating this more once there's a new release in the pipeline, as almost all of the affected code will have changed.

Thanks 👍
Nice work by the way

The theme doesn't load at all for me. If I run lightdm-webkit2-greeter then there's a black screen telling me an error was detected in the theme (ignoring it gives the same black screen again). If I try to boot using it, the system hangs on the boot log and I have to switch to another TTY.

@djsavvy I ran into the same problem, i modified the theme name in /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-gretter.conf from webkit_theme = lightdm-webkit-aether to webkit_theme = lightdm-webkit-theme-aether and now everything works fine.

An update has been pushed that may fix the original issue, but @djsavvy your issue sounds more like what I discovered here: #22 (comment)

I've encountered the issue where you get a black screen and an error message comes up saying errors were found in the theme. same as @djsavvy issue

Actually I've found a solution. seems like the name of the theme is different to whats in the config. In my case the theme was named Aether but the conf had it as lightdm-webkit-theme-aether.
