Greeter

GR-01 // GREETER

omfreebdy uses ly as its login manager — a lightweight TUI display manager that runs in the console and can launch Hyprland directly.

Configuration

ly’s config lives at /usr/local/etc/ly/config.ini.

Key Settings

Setting	Value
Animation	Configurable (none, doom, matrix, colormix, gameoflife)
Default input	login
Vi mode	Available (off by default)
Save last session	Yes

Built-in Animations

ly has several built-in idle animations for the login screen:

Animation	Description
none	No animation (default)
doom	PSX DOOM fire effect
matrix	CMatrix-style falling characters
colormix	Color mixing shader
gameoflife	Conway’s Game of Life

Set the animation in /usr/local/etc/ly/config.ini:

animation = matrix

Key Bindings

Key	Action
F1	Shutdown
F2	Restart
Tab	Switch between login/password/session fields

Installation

ly is available as a FreeBSD package:

sudo pkg install ly
sudo sysrc ly_enable="YES"

Customization

To enable autologin (skip the login screen):

auto_login_user = yourusername
auto_login_session = Hyprland

To change colors, edit the hex values in config.ini (format: 0xSSRRGGBB where SS is styling flags).
