| MDM - the '''M'''int '''D'''isplay '''M'''anager - is designed for use with any desktop environment. It supports theming, automatic login, and the automatic detection and use of multiple desktop environments. Ported over from Mint and it comes with a very easy user-friendly app to configure and change its appearance... and lots of themes to go with it.
| |
|
| |
| MDM can be installed by entering the following command:
| |
|
| |
| yay -S mdm-display-manager
| |
|
| |

| '''[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SLiM SLiM]''' - the '''S'''imple '''L'''og'''i'''n '''M'''anager - is designed for use with any desktop environment. Used by Manjaro Openbox and popular with Arch users, it supports theming, automatic login, and use of multiple desktop environments. '''Since version 1.6.2, SLiM now supports the automatic detection of desktop environments'''. It may be necessary for users who have installed Manjaro 0.8.7.1 and earlier to manually edit some configuration files to get it to work.
| |
|
| |
| To install SLiM, enter the command:
| |
|
| |
| sudo pacman -S slim
| |
|
| |
| Additional themes for SLiM can also be obtained by entering the command:
| |
|
| |
| sudo pacman -S slim-themes
| |
| <br clear="all" />

| {{warning|'''Unless you have installed Manjaro release 0.8.8 or later, DO NOT''' just reboot your system after installing and enabling SLiM! If you do, you will get no further than the login screen. You <u>must</u> first edit the /etc/slim.conf file and the ~/.xinitrc file to get it working before rebooting. Guidance on how to '''[[SLiM Configuration|Configure SliM]]''' has been provided.}}
