simple login gui

A minimal GTK graphical login manager for Devuan Excalibur using sysvinit and seatd. Replaces the text console login on tty1 with a simple username/password screen. On logout from the window manager, the login screen reappears automatically. Supports GTK2 and GTK3.

It works with or without elogind and the installer has an option to use dbus or not.

As usual for me chat bots were used.

It can be found here https://sourceforge.net/projects/simple-login-gui/ and the code is here https://github.com/rations/simple-login-gui

You would have to remove lightdm, slim or whatever you're using for this to work.

What do you mean by "minimal"? ... 1x1 pixels?

Considering that the term "minimal" is well understood in this context your comment not only seems pointless but a violation of the almost no CoC item #2 of "a foundation of mutual respect is expected from visitors to this forum."

A little positive encouragement would not have gone amiss.

Re: simple login gui

That doesn't sound very minimal to me. How does it relate to that program that the OP got made?
