I'm trying to move the position of time/date/password field in the lock screen. (currently they are on the center).

This post explained how to do it for 18.04, but on 20.04 the mentionned method does not work anymore.

I think the relevant file is /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gnome-shell-theme.gresource and the relevantz css field is

.unlock-dialog-clock {
  color: white;
  font-weight: 300;
  text-align: center;
  spacing: 24px;
  padding-bottom: 2.5em; }

I tried messing with those value, and refreshing gnome via alt+F2, write rt, then enter, without any sucess. Any idea ?

Solved, it turns out gnome CSS are compiled and one can't just edit them inplace. One needs to decompile the /usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/Yaru/gnome-shell-theme.gresource, edit the .css (unlock-dialog-clock is indeed the correct field) with the desired change, recompile to gresource, then put it back at the correct location. then one needs to refresh gnome to see changes (reboot, or faster : alt + F2, then write rt then enter)

To easily decompile/recompile .gresource file, this repo was super usefull: https://github.com/zegheim/Pop-modified
