Hello everyone.
Please tell me where can I get PKGBUILD for LXDM? Below is a screenshot of the theme I want to receive.
I would appreciate a link to Gitlab
I don’t know why I can’t upload photos from PC

Moderator edit: Edit title for clarification
Most of the packages in Manjaro repo are copied from Arch repo.
The following is not limited to lxdm - but work with all packages in the archlinux repo.
The ability to post links and upload images requires Trust Level 1. The Trust Level evolves depending on one’s activity on the forum.
People who stick around, read more threads and post more often will quickly level up to TL1, then TL2, and ultimately, TL3, although TL3s can be dropped back to TL2 again if they stop being active, or if they misbehave too many times. This evolution is fully automatic.
Due to your lack of activity and your long absence from the forum, you are currently still at Trust Level 0. 
Post the files to some external picture sharing service - and post the link they give you here …

Thank you very much for your answer.
I would agree with you if I did not see information about lxdm on the official manjaro website LXDM Configuration - Manjaro a completely different topic, moreover, I see that the panel on which the language change is posted is at the top.
And the login panel is on the left. That’s why I was interested in this lxdm design.
Or do you have a mistake on the official website?
How it looks - what it looks like - is pretty much configurable.
As it is with any Desktop Environment.
It can be easily changed.
Adapted.
Can it not? For you?
I understood you, thank you for explaining.
Thank you for your desire to help.
If you look at the photo at the very top of this link LXDM Configuration - Manjaro you will see a blue screen and a large inscription LOGIN)) At the very bottom there is a photo with a green LXDM background, where there is a panel at the top and a login window on the left side. I don’t see in the config file where this can be configured.
This is what the user will see after installing from the lxdm repository.
I don’t know how to set this up, but I would like to have this deep manager design.
Moderator edit: Replaced attached images with image links from wiki page
I could massively be wrong — disclaimer dutifully added here — but to the best of my knowledge, that second screenshot is not lxdm, but instead, it would be lightdm.
Well, the quoted wiki page was last edited 4 years ago… probably written 5 or 6 years ago…
I can imagine the default config of lxdm look changed a lot in those 5 years.
Currently, none of the official editions of manjaro comes with lxdm installed by default. Even the xfce edition comes with lightdm greeter. As a novice user i would not recommend you playing with such critical piece of the system as the login manager. If you decide to do - make a backup in case you mess everything up and cannot login anymore.
So you want to configure the appearance of the lightdm display manager.
That has got zero to do with lxdm or lxde - but is quite easily done.
Where did that design that you want came from?
Where did you find it?
If we knew that, we would be able to tell you …
It came from a wiki page. One can see the date on the screenshot: 2019. God knows if the current lxde login manager even looks like that - i will surely not install just to test.
Honestly, my 2 cents: why would anyone care so much about a screen with the only visible function to type the password. I have even removed the background of it and left it black with a password box in the middle…ok, and a clock.
… its easy to configure the background image, the position of the login box …
It would be even easier if the guy knew where he saw it, where it came from.
Then it would just be copy/paste pretty much. 
I agree with you on that 100%
Who are you thanking for their answer?
Please use the Reply button directly under the post you are actually replying to. This helps to avoid confusion.
Try it, by replying to me now.
Regards.
As you see there is a lot you can do yourself beforehand
This is described in detail in the wiki page - why do you ask?
The lxdm package comes with a GUI configuration tool lxdm-config mentioned at the very top of the page
You can also read LXDM - ArchWiki where configuration this is also explained.
If you are looking for a specific background image I don’t know where it originates - suppose you can look in Artwork · GitLab - no guarantee though.
Another option is to look at the sources for lxdm theme packages on AUR - AUR (en) - Packages - same procedure - enter lxdm in the search box - dissect the sources..
Or you could use an image search using your favorite search engine - some of them has an option of uploading an image to seearch for similar images…
There is also an extensive archive of previous manjaro packages at https://manjaro.tuxboy.eu
You can also search using pamac using the keyword lxdm

Guys, thank you very much for your answers. To be honest, I’m shocked))
I gave a link to the MANJARO WIKI, and you write in one message where I got it))
As for LXDM, I want to tell you that it is probably the best display manager in terms of minimalistic code and functionality.
The same opinion is expressed by the developer of XFCE
Yes, the design is a bit outdated, but what should a display manager have?
I’m considering using startx or the most minimalistic graphical display manager written in C or C++
Thank you for your answer.
For example, when recommending a setup, I should know that it works, and I have tested it. If I recommend and you yourself (that is, you) have not checked but recommend, this is bad practice.
Before writing my question here, I checked out PKGBUILD Arch linux and read the wiki. I’ll tell you a secret: there is no such design as on the Manjaro wiki page))
Developers need to write here like this:
Dear users, sorry that we have outdated information on our wiki, we will change it soon.
I don’t want LXDE, SDDM or Lightdm, I’m interested in LXDM!
As is often the case in English, a fact is re-stated to enforce or enhance comments that immediately follow.
You made no attempt to qualify your observation. Was there something in comments from @Teo that you failed to understand?
You’re opinion of LXDM will naturally differ from that of others – that much is granted. However, how it looks and the features it may offer largely depends upon the chosen theme and/or “greeter” that is installed along with it.
This is true of many Display Managers.
I’ll drop this link here; it was offered earlier by @linux-aarhus and you seemingly had no interest in following it:
This might be informative from the perspective of Arch Linux based distributions. Perhaps it will be helpful.
As mentioned, Manjaro no longer provides LXDM and hasn’t for a considerable time. What I might suggest is to focus on LightDM instead:
To reiterate: How a Display Manager looks and features it has are typically dictated by a combination of the chosen theme and the Greeter, and as you can see (assuming you followed the link) there are several to choose from.
Additionally, there are many community themes available. Choose carefully, as many may be for a specific environment, or may be outdated.
And there are plenty of guides only an Internet search away; this first link from Chris Titus provides carefully researched information; plus a video:
Elsewhere:
This is the default LightDM, greeter and theme for Manjaro XFCE (which I have obviously never edited):
Customising this to your liking can be as simple as substituting the background for one that appeals to you; and/or (optionally) changing the Greeter.
Important: Avoid using 4K wallpapers – in fact, a background smaller that your monitor resolution can often be beneficial.
If a Greeter must specifically have the login controls on the left-hand side, as I believe you mentioned, then the Slick Greeter comes to mind as one option among likely many more;
Personally, I agree with sentiments already expressed, that there is no pressing need to play with a Display Manager greeter or theme; however, I understand the vanity of those who think differently, so, have at it.
Regards.
That is no secret - the design is shown as an example of what you can do - the author of the page has described how you modify the look and feel of the lxdm greeter.
For that purpose the author has picked a random image, moved the parts around by means of the lxdm-conf application or by editing the relevant parts of the configuration file.
GTK2 has been deprecated for a long time - and until recently the gtk2 version of lxdm was available alongside it’s gtk3 counterpart.
The general theme is controlled by themes located in /usr/share/lxdm/themes and you are free to design your own.
I remember creating themes for lxdm way back in time - I have no idea how the behave with today’s version of lxdm - there is a reason why they are no longer in the repo - unsupported 
Thank you very much for your detailed answer.
I’ll also explain to you why I chose LXDM, since it’s the most minimalistic GUI option of all possible display managers. Correct me if I’m wrong. The safest option is startx and make login automatic via .bash-profile You (probably) don't need a display manager
I know that Manjaro uses Lightdm by default and slick-greeter is a good option,but the problem is that after installation you will have a very small login window (this can be seen in your photo example))and increasing the DPI does not solve this problem etc
The rest of the topics that you proposed are overloaded with information. I find Slick-greeter the most minimalistic when it comes to Lightdm
And it’s a pity that Manjaro abandoned LXDM (((
Well - lxdm is still in the repos - as for the dedicated ISO’s providing openbox based desktops - they require surplus to maintain - which I didn’t have - so it is better to drop them than having unmaintained packages and profiles filling storage space - it is how it is
There is community options available - just look in the Contributions > Spins section
