Description-en: Slick-looking LightDM greeter
Slick-Greeter is cross-distribution and should work pretty much
anywhere.
.
All panel applets are embedded. No external indicators are launched or
loaded by the greeter.
.
No settings daemon are launched or loaded by the greeter.
.
This greeter supports HiDPI.
.
Sessions are validated. If a default/chosen session isn't present on
the system, the greeter scans for known sessions in
/usr/share/xsessions and replaces the invalid session choice with a
valid session.
.
You can take a screenshot by pressing PrintScrn. The screenshot is
saved in /var/lib/lightdm/Screenshot.png.
.
Slick Greeter started as a fork of Unity Greeter 16.04.2, a greeter
developed for Ubuntu by Canonical, which used indicators and
unity-settings-daemon.
