Plasma lock screen without ui

KDE Forums: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?...368588#p368588

As default the lock screen user interface is displayed but the clock/id/new session/etc. can be moved out of sight.

The lock screen qml code is part of the plasma look and feel theme. Editing Breeze Plasma 5.8.4 LockScreenUi.qml:



When the up arrow is pressed the UI is moved up - out of the sight.
When the down arrow is pressed the UI is moved down - center of the screen.
