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.

- Lightdm is rendering rectangles instead of fonts

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
- How do I change the splash screen?

ThemeChanger, a theme changing utility for Linux
This situation isn't so much about the fact that Flatpak and Flathub are GNOME-backed. All of the KDE core apps are in there too, and so are all of the Pantheon core apps. But none of the other GTK environments have bought into Flatpak and/or Flathub. I asked the xapps (MATE core apps) people about it and their response was kinda wishy-washy. They might be more receptive if Flathub submissions for Pluma, Atril, etc, get made for them. I don't know if XFCE people would want to get Mousepad, Ristretto, etc onto Flathub.

How can we make the Magic Corner in XApp Status Applet usable for volume control?

Unity is still miles better then Gnome
The Linux Mint project is sponsoring a series of "traditional" Gtk desktop accessory apps: text editor, image viewer etc. It calls them the XApps. The idea is that instead of MATE, Cinnamon and Xfce all maintaining their own forks of the GNOME 2 accessories, there is one shared set. I tried the Ubuntu Cinnamon Remix and to my very great surprise, it doesn't use them; it just uses the GNOME versions, with CSD, no menu bars, etc.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing slick-greeter and xapp you can also consider the following projects:
lightdm - Display Manager
polkit-dumb-agent - a polkit agent in 145 lines of code, because polkit is dumb and none of the other agents worked
void-packages - The Void source packages collection
ThemeChanger - Theme changing utility for Linux, etc.
python3-xapp - Python3 Xapp Library
