I'm trying to change the look of the xscreensaver lock screen.
This page has a patch and instructions:

I downloaded the patch but I couldn't figure out how to apply it.
The page says to run this command:
Code:
$ cd xscreensaver-4.XY
$ patch -p1 < /path/to/xss-lock-theme-1.0.patch
I don't have that directory but tried in /etc/xscreensaver.
When I run the patch it asks what file to patch and I don't know.
The site has instructions for Gentoo but I am running Fedora. I don't know alot about Gentoo but these instructions seem a little foreign to me:
Code:
How to create a local copy of the xscreensaver ebuild with the patch;
$ mkdir /usr/local/portage
Add PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage/" to the /etc/make.conf file.
$ $EDITOR /etc/make.conf
$ mkdir /usr/local/portage/x11-misc
$ cp -r /usr/portage/x11-misc/xscreensaver /usr/local/portage/x11-misc
$ cd /usr/local/portage/x11-misc/xscreensaver
$ cp /path/to/xss-lock-theme-1.0.patch files/
Add epatch ${FILESDIR}/xss-lock-theme-1.0.patch to the xscreensaver-4.XY.ebuild file in the src_unpack function after the cd ${S} line.
$ $EDITOR xscreensaver-4.XY.ebuild
$ ebuild xscreensaver-4.XY.ebuild digest
$ emerge =xscreensaver-XY
The local ebuild will take precedence over the original ebuild.
Maybe I am totally out to lunch here? Has anyone changed the theme on xscreensaver lock screen before?
