Golinux told me that to change the window manager, when on the login
screen, you repeatedly press F1 to cycle through the installed window
managers. I confirm this, and will document it.

However, I think somebody from Devuan should add to the login window's
graphic (the stylized lightgreen and darkergreen Login graphic) the
string "Press F1 to switch window managers." Today's computers should
be discoverable, and this is just too easy not to do. I'd do it myself
but I don't know which graphic, and probably my modification would be
an aesthetic step backward.

Thanks,

The "stylized lightgreen and darkergreen Login graphic" went bye-bye a long time ago. It should be a nice purpy just like the desktop. Do you have the latest desktop-base installed?
