LM Cinnamon, Change lock screen profile picture frame to circular

Post by shadow29warrior »

I am using Linux mint cinnamon 20.2. I want to change my lock screen profile picture frame to circular from the square. I uploaded the circular image assuming it would adjust but the frame clearly is square. How do I change the frame to circular instead of square to fit my profile picture?

I have attached a picture below. As you can see the there is a purple frame on my circular image which does not look good at all.

if i'm not mistaken you can change the dialog, you can install Glade(sudo apt install glade) and if you are using Cinnamon(seems like it is deducing from your screenshot)
make a backup-copy (sudo cp /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-screensaver-lock-dialog/cinnamon-screensaver-lock-dialog.ui /usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-screensaver-lock-dialog/cinnamon-screensaver-lock-dialog.ui.bak)
you can open the file on glade(or your favorite text editor)

Code: Select all

/usr/share/cinnamon/cinnamon-screensaver-lock-dialog/cinnamon-screensaver-lock-dialog.ui
and remove the frame.
I'm not sure but i think it might be able to do it with some theming.
