As there are some cases in which folder name is hardcoded, and even changing it within /etc/lightdm/lightdm-webkit2-greeter.conf leaves some errors.

I think it might solve #18, but it might be other issue I'm not aware of.

It definitely solved my problem, with some parts of the UI missing and constant errors "theme might have not loaded properly".

I'll just add that installing manually as instructed in the readme will produce the Error detected in the current theme that could interfere with system login process. error (#34). This is due to the hard-coded name 'lightdm-webkit-theme-aether' which produces

CONSOLE LOG [ERROR] theme_utils.dirlist(): Error opening directory “/usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/lightdm-webkit-theme-aether/src/img/wallpapers/”: No such file or directory
CONSOLE LOG [ERROR] theme_utils.dirlist(): Error opening directory “/usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/lightdm-webkit-theme-aether/src/img/logos/”: No such file or directory

when lightdm-webkit2-greeter in run because the logos and wallpapers are located in /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes/Aether/.... As a quick hack one might just create a symlink which solved all my problems.

cd /usr/share/lightdm-webkit/themes
sudo ln -s ./Aether lightdm-webkit-theme-aether
