# slim-tweak
## A method of establishing and displaying a system-wide default session for the SLiM Display Manager, and other enhancements.
Slim-tweak works for SLiM versions 1.36 and slim-fork/1.4. It is best-suited for systems that have multiple desktop environments or window managers to choose from, or that have multiple user logins. Although certainly a hack, it uses a unique and simple approach to set a global default session for SLiM, altering only /etc/slim.conf and a custom Xsession, not the underlying SLiM code. It works for both Void Linux and Arch Linux, which means it may be used with either elogind or systemd, or without either one. The bash script assumes desktop sessions are listed in **/usr/share/xsessions**, and that SLiM is configured in **/etc/slim.conf**. New xsession files are created in **/usr/share/slim/xsessions-sorted/** and a custom Xsession file in **/usr/share/slim/Xsession**.

## Other features
- Enables SLiM 1.3.6 users to choose executable files, in addition to .desktop entries, similar to SLiM-fork.
