It aims to be simple, fast and independent from the various desktop environments. mlogind is based on latest stable release of Login.app by Per Liden and SLiM 1.3.6. New features: - External themes and configuration - PNG support with alpha transparency for panel - PNG / JPEG support for backgrounds - XFT / freetype support - Double or single (GDM-style) inputbox support - CMake build procedure INSTALLATION see the INSTALL file USAGE To launch mlogind, execute run the mlogind binary, followed by the -d option if you want it to run as a daemon in the background (reccommended) enter username and password to login. The ~/.xinitrc file is executed by default, so be sure to have a working .xinitrc file in your home. Special usernames (commands configurable in the config file): - console: start console login - exit: exit mlogind - halt: halt the system - reboot: reboot the system pressing the F11 key executes a user-specified command (see the configuration file), the default is to take a screenshot if the 'import' program is available. pressing the F2 key cycles through configured themes when current_theme contains a comma-separated theme set.
