THE LIGHT CHANGES
Argentina, hour by hour.
Use the time controls above to move between the moods. Auto follows your clock; no location permission is needed.
A SMALL, EDITED COLLECTION
Places with room to breathe.
Each clip is checked for composition, readability behind the login panel, playback and redistribution rights. The daytime videos are local; the other moods use licensed stills until suitable video clears the same bar.

BUILT FOR THE MOMENT BEFORE
Atmosphere, with the login still in focus.
- Readable first.Stable dark overlays keep the clock and login controls clear as scenes change.
- Offline at login.Video and still backgrounds are installed locally. Authentication never waits for a network stream.
- Calm transitions.Randomized clips avoid immediate repeats, preload the next scene and crossfade; a local still remains underneath.
- Useful if media fails.Missing or undecodable videos leave the static background in place. The greeter remains a login screen, not a player.
UNDER THE SURFACE
Local media. Qt6. SDDM.
The real Hornero greeter is a Qt6/QML SDDM theme. A separately installed media pack contains H.264 clips; the theme includes its fallback stills. A generated local catalog drives randomized, day-aware playback without login-time network access.
