[SOLVED] Slim theming help.

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this, but bare with me.
Wishing to create a simple slim theme with black bacground and green text, i installed this theme: https://github.com/naglis/slim-minimal and replaced the bacground with a black one. However, I use xmonad and while logging in, slim displays "Session: Xmonad" in big white text that dominates the other texts. How do i remove this or hide this?
Thank you.

Either comment out the "sessiondir" configuration option (which may limit the ability to switch sessions) or change the values of the "session*" options in your /etc/slim.conf file.

You should be able to configure the layout of this text with the session_* options in your theme.
Edit: The THEMES file in the git repository lists all possible options: http://git.berlios.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cg … b;f=THEMES

Re: [SOLVED] Slim theming help.

Hi guys, thank you for the pointers
I had tried this before but the color, for whatever reason, refused to change. But, all other session_* properties are being respected.
So, i'm now using an ugly workaround.
Change session_x and session_y to 200% or something like that so that it just displays beyond the screen.

P.S : I tested the same with the default theme and the problem seems to affect only the slim-minimal theme.
I'll test some more and file a bug report to the theme makers.
