-{{note|It will likely be necessary to manually edit the SLiM configuration file and the X-Windows initialisation file whenever a new desktop is added or an old one is removed. However, as illustrated below, it is possible to pre-configure SLiM to automatically work with multiple desktop environments.}}
+SLiM - the '''S'''imple '''L'''og'''i'''n '''M'''anager - is currently the default Display Manager for the Manjaro Openbox (ManjaroBox) flavour.
+SLiM is highly configurable with an abundance of extra themes available, and is now suitable for newer users as it can now automatically detect any installed desktop environments and window managers. However, users installing SLiM manually will still need to make an amendment to the '''.xinitrc'' configuration file for it to work properly.
-SLiM - the '''S'''imple '''L'''og'''i'''n '''M'''anager - is not currently pre-installed with any Manjaro flavour. However, due to popular demand, it has still been made available for download and installation from the official Manjaro repositories. SLiM is responsible for providing the login screen, where your preferred desktop environment may be selected for your personal user account(s). It also functions as a protective security barrier to prevent unauthorised access to your system.
-Although SLiM is highly configurable with an abundance of extra themes available, it is also perhaps suited to more experienced users. This is primarily due to the fact that whereas other display managers such as ''LXDM'' will automatically detect installed desktop environments, SLiM does not and so must be manually configure to work with them.
