# XMB PS3 theme for KDE Plasma 6 A PlayStation 3 XMB-style **login screen**, **lock screen** and **Shut Down screen** for KDE Plasma 6, built to feel like one continuous console UI: - The animated XMB wave, changing colour through the day and in sync with your desktop wallpaper - A PS3-style user column, clock, `[Tab] Options` panel and "Restart the system?" Yes/No prompts - Smooth fades between the lock screen, login screen and desktop, across multiple monitors - Soft PS3-style menu sounds (original, made for this theme) > **Just want the wallpaper?** Get the live XMB wave on KDE with `./install.sh --wallpaper-only` (how), or grab the 4K stills and videos for any OS from the latest release. ## Screenshots Login screen Login screen: Options Lock screen Lock screen: Options Restart confirmation Turn off confirmation Shut Down screen (Ctrl+Alt+Del) The XMB wave on the desktop The wave changes colour through the day, like the PS3: each shot shows a different hour. ## Menu sounds Every screen has soft PS3-style menu sounds, original ones made for this theme from plain sine tones (no Sony audio): | Sound | Plays when | |---|---| | **open** | The login or lock screen appears | | **move** | Moving between users or options | | **select** | Signing in, unlocking, choosing an option | | **back** | Closing a panel, choosing No | | **error** | A wrong or empty password | **Use your own sounds:** put files named `move`, `select`, `back`, `error` and `open` (WAV, or MP3/FLAC/OGG with `ffmpeg` installed) in the `custom-sounds/` folder and run `./install.sh`. Any you leave out keep the built-in sound. More on sounds Don't want any? Install with `--no-sounds`. ## Install You need **KDE Plasma 6** on Wayland and **SDDM** for the login screen. On **Fedora 44+**, which uses Plasma Login Manager, add `--use-sddm` and the installer switches to SDDM for you. [code] Run it as your normal user; it asks for your password when it needs it. No git? Click **Code → Download ZIP**, extract it, and run `./install.sh` from that folder. For the wave on your **desktop** too, install the free Shader Wallpaper plugin first: see Wallpaper. **Try before you install:** `scripts/preview.sh login` (close with Ctrl+Q) or `scripts/preview.sh lock`. ### Controls | Key | Login screen | Lock screen | |---|---|---| | Up / Down | Choose a user | Move between you and **Other User…** | | Enter | Sign in | Unlock | | Tab | Options (session, Sleep, Restart, Turn Off) | Options (Sleep, Hibernate, Restart, Turn Off) | ## Uninstall [code] This puts back everything the installer changed: your previous login theme and login manager, the original lock screen, your Global Theme and splash, and the original Shader Wallpaper file. ## More | Page | What's in it | |---|---| | Options | Every install option, more than one user on the PC, your own sounds, previews | | Wallpaper | The wave on your desktop, power use, video and still alternatives | | How it works | What gets installed where, t
