I don't use one that is active - I set slim to log in my user without a password and if I want authentication, I use e's "lock screen on startup" to do that. How may users actually use your computer ... for most of us that's "just me". Single user, so a login manager is a waste of both time and resources. Technically gdm uses a full gnome-session so should be capable of swizzling backlight. It may not be configured that way. > I tested a few, none of them restored the backlight after logout.

Same > with startx and exiting to a text console. Then turn the checkbox off. The point of fading to/from off is to have a glitch-free experience. All my boxes actually now do. They are black while booting, fade into an e splash screen, I jus stay in E until I'm done then power off the machine which is a fade to black and then off. No console messages scrolling by or blinking cursors ... slick and clean. If i want to have a mixed up environment and have that text console after or whatever - there is a checkbox there to swizzle. Reality is that the whole console ecosystem needs to move forward. For now gdm is doing it right. KDE, GNOME, E are doing it right by controlling backlight during a login session. The ecosystem moves forward when it's pushed. This is a push. Your text console actually should cease to exit in the long-term. There has been work to try replace the kernel text console in userspace. kmscon is one such project. Reality is that kmscon then would need to also control backlight too as it should control blanking and dimming as well. As each tty/console owner turns up they then control their console appropriately. They should reset backlight to where they think it should be when their vt activates. > > > - In the new shot module, right-clicking on text displays an illegibly > > > tiny context menu.

It'd because the whole paint area *IS* a window (in a window). zooming is done just by resizing the image object that represents the window. The menus are a default feature of the entry widget that is there and they display their menus in their window... which is this scaled down one. They don't even now they are being scaled down. Because I re-used these widgets, it's easy to go edit the text in those draw objects at any time... it's just a regular elm text entry with a custom style... :) > On Mon, Apr 13, 2020 at 02:59:37PM +0100, Carsten Haitzler wrote: > > On Sun, 12 Apr 2020 23:19:53 -0700 Ross Vandegrift <r...@kallisti.us> said: > > > - Are the fonts for the shot module redistributable?
