apt-get destruction

[VastOne]

Tweeking it now...
Liking it so far.. just have to improve the look and layout

Right now it looks like this


 

[VastOne]

Got this far now and like it.. For some reason this setup is not seeing the .face icon but that is actually more secure

What do you think of it?


 

[PackRat]

Looks good.

Probably just gimp yourself a wallpaper with the logo etc .. on it for the background. I think the default is to use a *.svg file - that allows it to scale to screen resolution doesn't it.

[VastOne]

Like this?


 


Tell me true.. with or without the vsido.org?

[VastOne]

Here is one without it


 


Here is one with smaller font


 


I'm kind of liking the last one with the smaller font

That's the best one.

Made the final tweaks... added the Session box and a way to shutdown and reboot from the login screen


 

[VastOne]

Completed the testing and to my surprise I had to change nothing at all on the build process.. For the Live-CD and install session, the autologin worked as it should and upon reboot to the new installation LXDM was there waiting perfectly

Impressive login manager and so simple I cannot see what could go wrong...

Thanks for the suggestion, input and help RatMan...

I worked more on alignments and symmetry... I like it

That's the key right there. It just logs into X with some basics - like auto mounting removable drives - that users expect..

How did you move the clock to the upper right? That in the lxdm.conf? I know it can be themed a bit, but I never really looked into it other than changing the basic look from Raleigh.

[VastOne]

It's all editable in the greeter.ui file within /usr/share/lxdm//themes/THEME

I took examples from other themes and figured it out.. trial and error

There are not a whole lot of themes available... I got all of them from the Arch site

[VastOne]

I have made this change... think this is the best look


 

[PackRat]

Looks good, less crowded.

Since you're migrating from lightdm the advanced session configuration section may be useful to you.

On the lite version of VSIDO, lxdm installed with no dependencies except a pixbuf app

I wanted to test it on the Stock VSIDO but this is what it wants to do

Downloaded the deb and installed it.. something is still very weird with apt and the repositories

Building the Stock ISO now to test if it will work with lxdm and get to a login

[VastOne]

Nope, not a lightdm issue...

Looks like Stock is dead
