<div><br></div><div>We're happy to provide any visual assets required, which shouldn't be much. (We already have a few to choose from). I won't speak to architecture since that's your wheelhouse, but my assumption is that the UI layer could be handled by the same QML package with enough hooks for the various existing underlying functionality to use. I would like to have offered up a QML package with this, but it's early days yet for my QML familiarity (but getting better fast). :-)</div>

I've pushed a new Lock and Logout implementations following these mockups. They don't look like that yet but it's quite close and workable. The main issue</div>
<div class="gmail_extra">being that we cannot hardcode a plasma theme from them, or maybe it's not an issue.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">Well, either way it would be interesting if somebody could take a look and see what it feels like, then maybe we can iterate it forward.</div>
