Hi,

That's sound go to me ear entrance is alive. If you need my help don't
think about it twice !
Entrance is in this shape today because I'm working on a new version of
entrance where I go far beyond the goal of this actual version. I need to
rework about everything and today I don't have what I expected to share,
So... Good to know you try to provide this one whithout bug.
To clear things about where I go, my main goal is to provide a bootsplash
and a login manager where we secure the userland. It's just about replace
all piece of software your distrib and systemd provide with user
interaction at boot time.
My main goal is security, X11 is a joke about it. Wayland is a cleaner way
for multi-user desktop use.
About the current code, the gui is almost good but done in a new way where
all object is defined by theme not by the app (as enlightenment,
terminology does...). This enhance theming possibilities. I think I will
keep it in this way, just to let you know.


Regards
