Welcome to Qylock! Pretty much a bunch of lockscreen themes I've put together for SDDM and Quickshell. I've always loved the "cozy" and minimalist vibe, so I've tried to keep everything looking clean~

Hope ya find something that fits your setup! Thanks for stopping by!!

Tip

Can't find your issue here? Feel free to open a discussion or an issue, but please double-check the sections below first!

⌨️ Virtual Keyboard popping up?

If the virtual keyboard keeps opening on its own at startup, you can disable it in your SDDM config:

1. Open /etc/sddm.conf as root.
2. Under the [General] section, set InputMethod to empty:

[General]
InputMethod=

📺 Low quality background video?

To keep the download size small, some videos are compressed. For the full 4K/HD version:

1. Get the original video from the links in the Acknowledgements section.
2. Rename it to bg.mp4.
3. Replace the bg.mp4 inside your current theme's folder.

🛠️ Themes not loading (library import version error fix)?

Note

This error happens because many stable distributions still use the Qt5-based version of SDDM for system stability. Since these themes are native Qt6, they require a quick conversion to work on those legacy systems. These themes are built for Qt6. If your distribution uses a Qt5-based version of SDDM, you can run the included qt5.sh script to create a legacy-compatible themes-qt5/ folder:

	Packages (Qt5 Legacy)
Core	sddm qt5-declarative qt5-graphicaleffects qt5-quickcontrols2
Video	qt5-multimedia gst-plugins-base gst-plugins-good gst-plugins-bad gst-plugins-ugly
Script	perl

chmod +x qt5.sh && ./qt5.sh

❄️ Quickshell not working on KDE Plasma?

Note

This is a known limitation of KWin. You can still use the SDDM portion of the themes for your login screen, but the Quickshell lockscreen itself is a no-go on Plasma because it lacks support for the ext-session-lock-v1 protocol.
