suckless-utils/slim/INSTALL
Alexis Jhon Gaspar e1207e1d0d Added slim-fork to the repo
- This introduces a minimalist display manager for the suckless-utils suite
- Added crudely written scripts for reloaading slim's theme via pywal,
  meaning no on-the-fly reloading using keybinds as nost people wouldn't
have their sudo passwordless
- This is based on slim-fork 1.4.0 version.
