Simple Console Display Manager

Question

I created a forked project from "The Console Display Manager" CDM,
thanks Ghost1227 for your work
I simplified its interface and added new options.
It has all its initial features (less theming):
   - Multiple X sessions (user logins are all handled through tty1)
   - Any DE/WM
   - Configurable console logins
   - Users restricted to a single environment bypass the menu on login
   - Root is automatically dropped to console
   - All settings are configurable on a per-user basis
And I added:
   - Uses a common .xinitrc script to start the X programs.
        You can specify a common init script for all your X and I will create a new .xinitrc adding it the command line to execute your X.
   - Supports a default selection and with timeout.
        You can choose a default selection when enter or space is pressed, and you can add a timeout to auto-select the default selection.
        You can press Esc to cancel too.
   - Doesn't clear the screen.
        I like to see the boot messages
   - Doesn't depend on dialog/ncurses.
        Now you have a simpler menu that doesn't clear your screen.
   - Removed themes.
        More gigabytes free on your hdd
CDM-Simple is in AUR
No Wiki yet, the help is on the installed configuration file /etc/cdmrc
Enjoy!

Answer 1

nice work. gonna test it right now..
im reading the wiki, and found out the config file is in /etc/cdmrc, since everything is being migrated to /etc/name.d/something shouldnt cdm use the same hierarchy just for consistency? or am i missing something else here?
anyway, just cosmetics
EDIT: and....im back..... bravo. gotta love the simplicity!
im not sure if this was thought of yet, but maybe it source a per user config that should override the global one, instead of having the special settings in /etc/cdmrc, there should be a ~/.cdm/ dir with user settings.
