No way.
You have more than enough on your plate these days.
I can wait.
That said, I have been able to solve part of the problem I have with
v1.4.0. ie: how it behaves in a setup with more than one monitor.
I use a two Nvidia card/ three three monitor setup and managed to get
the login prompt to appear at the centre of the left monitor by
editing my original
/usr/share/slim/themes/slim-minimal-master/slim-theme file.
Changing the value of msg_x to 50% did the trick:
~~~
msg_x 50%
msg_y 40%
~~~
Now, the rest of the problem:
Even though the settings `username_msg` and `password_msg` are remmed
out ...
~~~
# username_msg username:
# password_msg password:
~~~
... I am *still* getting the 'Please enter your user name' and
'Please enter your password', something that did *not* happen with
the pre 1.4.0 version of SLiM.
What I am looking to get is something really *slim*:
ie: a black screen with (at most) just the cursor, nothing else.
Because I (box/system owner) *don't* need to be informed that I have
to enter my userID and then my PW to access the system.
And if someone manages to get physical access to my box ...
Do I *really* need to have the the login manager to tell anyone else
exactly what they have to do to gain access? 8^|°
So ...
Would you know what setting I have to add/modify to the `slim-theme`
file to achieve that?
If I can get *that* done, I'll be set.
Thanks in advance.
Best,
CIV
