Re: [OT]: Customizable lightweight display manager

Hi,
This may be a little bit off topic.
I'm looking for light weight display manager that have features like kdm
or gdm (you can set your own background, icon, theme, etc). At this
moment I'm using xdm which rather ugly if you compare it against kdm or
gdm (or maybe I should read more about it??).
Anybody know where I have to look at?

C
xfce, flwm, fvwm, fluxbox, xswm, blackbox, icewm. Plenty of lightweight windows managers around, but when you start wanting ic0ns, themes etc, then your lightweight wm isn't quite so light anymore.

My favorite light managers are xfce, fluxbox and fvwm-crystal.

Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him to use the Net and he won't bother you for weeks.
