SDDM CLI Theme

A terminal-inspired login theme for Simple Desktop Display Manager (SDDM), built entirely with QML. This theme brings a classic command-line experience to your display manager, providing a minimal and efficient way to log in.

Features

• Command-line UI: Interact with SDDM using familiar CLI commands.
• Customizable: Change resolution, colors, fonts, and more via QML.
• Session Management: List and switch sessions with commands.
• System Controls: Poweroff, reboot, sleep, and more from the login prompt.
• Accessible: Keyboard navigation and clear feedback messages.
• Lightweight: No heavy dependencies, just pure QML.

Commands

Command	Description
login <username>	Login with your username (prompts for password)
session list	List available sessions
session <id>	Select session by ID
poweroff	Shut down the system
reboot	Restart the system
sleep	Suspend the system
clear	Clear the terminal output
help	Show available commands

Tip: login without username uses the last logged in user.
