* Starting lidm with SystemD is not fully supported, however it will start on launch.
In the lidm directory run these commands:
```sh
sudo cp li.service /etc/systemd/system
sudo systemdtl enable li
```
You may also want to disable your current Display Manager for instance:
```sh
sudo systemctl disable sddm # Disables SDDM (KDE's dm)
sudo systemctl disable lightdm # Disables lightDM (popular lightweight DM)
sudo systemctl disable gdm # Disables GDM (Gnomes DM)
```
# Configuring
Copy any `.ini` file from [`themes/`](./themes/) (`default.ini` will always be updated) to `/etc/lidm.ini` and/or configure it to your liking. Also, don't place empty lines (for now).
