dual screen

[Member Flamefre]

Hello fellow antiX users,

I have a question regarding the SLiM login screen. I have the problem that on startup my SLiM login manager is on both screens. It is quite annoying that the configuration is off and I cannot find how to change the settings, that for instance the login panel is on one screen.

Thanks for the help in advance,
Flamefre

a websearch “SLiM login dual displays|monitors” instantly finds:

SLiM#Dual_screen_setup

[SOLVED] Slim login screen spans across 2 monitors as if one monitor

The solution involves editing
/usr/share/slim/themes/default/slim.theme
and adjusting the values of
input_panel_x and background_style

TIP:
From within a running destop session (already logged in) you can use a terminal emulator to launch
slim -p /usr/share/slim/themes/default/slim.theme
to immediately preview the result after editing/tweaking the themefile

Thank you.

I was thinking in that direction but I couldn’t find the answer you googled. Must have been so close all day.
I will try tomorrow on my PC at work, but thanks, for it is almost 9 pm here
