The main goal of switching LightDM to slick-greeter is to ease
enabling/disabling autologin. With "lightdm-settings" installed, there
is an administration/settings GUI "Login Window" available that allows
among others to configure autologin. Contrary to its general purpose
name, it works on LightDM greeter "slick-greeter" only.

Maintenance:
- Renamed gschema override files for "system background" and "screensaver"
to prefix number "10", that's more common for distribution-delivered
gschema override files. Basically the prefix number just separates the
override files from the xml files.
- For gschema override files "caja single click" and "mate terminal colors"
replaced underline by dash character for better alphabetic sorting.
- In the APKBUILD, adapted the install of file "gtk.css" to the "-t" option,
as no file name change is needed.
- Sorted the installs alphabetically per path, except the for the file
"61-lightdm-autologin.conf", this one is at the end because it doesn't use
the "-t" option due to file renaming.
Touch-friendliness:
- Increased size of the upper and lower panel from 24 to 36 px. This also
increases the size of the icons in the panel. Unfortunately, at installation
the panel layout config file is stronger than the gsettings override of the
panel size, therefore a new panel layout config file is needed. It corresponds
to the upstream default layout, just the panel size values were changed.
- Increased the size of the window buttons by changing the window border theme
to "HighContrast". That's not the nicest looking theme but the one with the
largest window buttons – convenient for touch devices.
- Increased general font sizes from 10 to 12 px. This goes along with increased
panel size and window button size, avoiding looking it too unproportional.
- Changed the layout of the panel clock to just show the time (no date or week
day). This saves space on devices with small screen. As the panel size was
increased, display size gets tight on devices with small screen.
- Changed the layout of the panel workspace switcher to show names in the format
of "- x -". This is a workaround to artificially increase the size of the
workspace switcher buttons on portrait displays. Because otherwise these
buttons are very squeezed on portrait displays due to the display ratio.
- Add an application shortcut for a maximized terminal to the users Desktop
upon installation.

MR 5540 breaks the Enter key label in onboard OSK with LXQt and Mate. In
theory Droid can be used instead, but it actually does not work.
We can't use _pmb_recommends here since v24.06 -> v24.12 upgrade will
break onboard unless any package depends on font-dejavu.

This allows the audio switching backend stuff to work on all UIs (see
!5072 / 87d355e08). For example, users of any UI can switch audio
backends by installing one of the pmos-base-ui-audio-* metapackages.

Actually package pulseaudio is needed instead of pulseaudio-utils.
Package pulseaudio-utils then gets drawn in by postmarketos-base-ui
sub-package pulseaudio.
For Xfce4 this is a cosmetic change because pulseaudio gets installed
as a dependency of pavucontol already. Keeping pulseaudio in the
_pmb_reccomends list makes sense to be clear which pieces are needed.
For MATE an explicit installation of pulseaudio is needed because it
doesn't use pavucontrol.

After PulseAudio support for MATE sound was enabled in Alpine Linux,
its interfaces are now available in the native MATE sound settings.
The additional PulseAudio volume control application therefore became
redundant.

postmarketos-ui-i3wm|mate.post-deinstall:
Contains removal of file "61-autologin.conf"|"65-autologin.conf".
However, this file is removed by apk automatically unpon
deinstallation.
postmarketos-ui-i3wm|mate|xfce4.pre-deinstall:
Contains disabling service "lightdm". Removing display manager service
upon deinstallation isn't done by other UIs either. It can lead to
unexpected behaviour when installing another UI using lightdm and then
uninstall MATE UI.
Additionally
postmarketos-ui-i3wm.post-upgrade:
Removed postmarketos-ui-i3wm.post-upgrade and replaced it with a link to
postmarketos-ui-i3wm.post-install, like it's done in MATE and Xfce4.
Enable screen locking and embed virtual keyboard. For devices with a
hardware keyboard, this is unfavorable. For touch devices, however,
that's needed for unlocking the screen.
Additionally enable single-click behavior in file manager. This applies
also to the desktop icons. Again this is unfavorable for conventional
devices but advantageous for touch devices.
unclutter-xfixes version 1.6 introduced new options --hide-on-touch
and --start-hidden. That seems appropriate enough to cover the use
cases touchscreen usage (hide cursor) and mouse/touchpad usage (show
cursor).
To make sound work out of the box. And being able to choose audio
output when connected via bluetooth.

Let every postmarketos-ui-* package have a link on top that points to
the new UI package reference. Do not put the link in <>, as it was done
with other references, since there's no benefit to it. It doesn't look
better and it doesn't make it easier to click the link or something, I
just did this initially because I saw it in GPL license headers.

UIs that depend on networkmanager also have an added dependency on

[ci:ignore-count] lots of packages, but no code compilation..
At the moment we have Contributor: lines on some packages (but not all of them),
but often they don't represent the actual contributors to the package very well.
E.g. when we added them retroactively to the device packages we only added
the initial contributor (which isn't necessarily the person
who made most of the work for a device...)
The Git history is the most representative source for figuring out
who contributed to a package, so there is no reason to duplicate that
into the APKBUILD.

The openrc service of lightdm has been moved to lightdm-openrc in
Alpine. Fix all UIs depending on lightdm, so their post-install script
does not fail with:
Executing postmarketos-ui-plasma-mobile-2-r6.post-install
* rc-update: service `lightdm' does not exist
When the UI package is reinstalled (due to the package being recompiled
or upgraded), it runs $pkgname.post-upgrade instead of
$pkgname.post-install which would run the sed replacement LightDM
autologin. This will cause LightDM to show the greeter when the UI
package is rebuilt, and the user ran pmbootstrap install without
deleting the old chroot.
