- 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.

Quick THEME howto for SLiM
|
|
|
|
Some basic information regarding the slim theme format.
|
|
Read this file if you plan to make some theme for
|
|
the program, and of course have a look at the included themes
|
|
|
|
GENERAL CONCEPT
|
|
A SLiM theme essentially consists of:
|
|
- a background image (background.png or background.jpg)
|
|
- a panel image (panel.png or panel.jpg)
|
|
- input box(es) and messages and their placement
|
|
and properties (slim.theme)
|
|
|
|
The panel and background images can be a PNG or JPEG file.
|
|
The panel is blended into the background image,
|
|
taking care of alpha transparency.
|
|
|
|
SUPPORTED FORMATS
|
|
- fonts: use the xft font specs, ie: Verdana:size=16:bold
|
|
- colors: use html hex format, ie #0066CC
|
|
- positions: can be either absolute in pixels, ie 350
|
|
or relative to the container, ie 50% is in the middle
|
|
of the screen.
|
|
|
|

SHADOWS
|
|
|
|
The 'msg', 'input', 'welcome', 'session' and 'username' sections
|
|
support shadows; three values can be configured:
|
|
- color: the shadow color
|
|
- x offset: the offset in x direction, relative to the normal text
|
|
- y offset: the offset in y direction, relative to the normal text
|
|
|
|
So to add a text shadow to the welcome message, add the following
|
|
to slim.conf:
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
welcome_shadow_xoffset -2
|
|
welcome_shadow_yoffset 2
|
|
welcome_shadow_color #ff0000
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The other keys are analogous:
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
# for username and password label
|
|
username_shadow_xoffset 2
|
|
username_shadow_yoffset -2
|
|
username_shadow_color #ff0000
|
|
|
|
# for the input fields
|
|
input_shadow_xoffset 1
|
|
input_shadow_yoffset 1
|
|
input_shadow_color #0000ff
|
|
|
|
# for the messages:
|
|
msg_shadow_xoffset 1
|
|
msg_shadow_yoffset 1
|
|
msg_shadow_color #ff00ff
|
|
|
|
# For the session:
|
|
session_shadow_xoffset 1
|
|
session_shadow_yoffset 1
|
|
session_shadow_color #ff00ff
|
|
