How to build and install LightDM Slick Greeter ?
For example, do I start off with a 'git clone https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter.git' ?

Urgent help - Possible spyware
No, that looks like a bug. There are some outstanding issues for individual options (e.g. https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter/issues/173), but nothing like this. Hard to say here what might cause that (maybe you're using TouchPad tap-to-click and it doesn't work there?) but you'd be welcome to make a new issue on the slick-greeter repo about this.

Awfully Specific...
While I can't speak for how this information could be abused on platforms like mobile, the APIs used for battery reporting (amongst other things) is done via UPower. What you are seeing here is some weird reporting by slick-greeter (not developed by Solus) on the battery percentage level.

How can I turn On this feature??
Seems more like a bug than anything. Should be reported at https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter/

No emoji's and lock screen background change
The login screen however uses slick-greeter and lightdm. It has its own configuration system and can be set by installing lightdm-settings and running sudo lightdm-settings, alternatively manually making a file and setting up a conf, which can be seen at the bottom of https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter

Can you center the login dialog box
Solus uses slick-greeter for Budgie, I am not aware of any option like that. Check the project page here, maybe someone discussed it: https://github.com/linuxmint/slick-greeter

Where is lightdm.conf ?
Turns out that i have to edit the slick-greeter config file but as shown here on GitHub i don't have the option to a start-up script. I will have to change to the normal lightdm greeter in order to work
