Kiosk Mode tweak proposal
#11

I think rewording 'Kiosk Mode' would be the simplest approach, since this would negate the need for explanation, ie. we need a self explanatory title/wording.

Something like 'Login Tweaks' That would imply that the login screen is manageable for the user. It also enables us to add features to it in the future ie. the place where all tweaks to the login screen take place.

Well, I committed it to master under Kiosk Mode tweak for now. We can always move the code to a Login tweak in the future. Sorry, I read your second response after the commit.

Alright, I get it now. Seems that you were expecting to get these two separated while I was under the impression that we were going to keep it as I committed it until new "login" tweaks were thought out.

So, let's get on the same page... do you want to separate this tweak into Kiosk Mode and Login Tweaks at this point?

Bit of a misunderstanding here. What I mean is to replace instances of 'Kiosk Mode' with something more descriptive. The original suggestion was 'Login Tweaks' or if there is something better, I'm more than happy to hear :)

I really don't have a better idea.

The first three options are kiosk Mode specific. The Power option is just a complementary kisok mode option to prevent not logged in users from rebooting or shutting down the PC  :-\

My point is, if you ask a 50 yr old woman, what 'Kiosk Mode' is, she would most likely have no clue. But if you say 'Login Options' or 'Login Tweaks' (or something more descriptive) she is more likely to understand what her options are. Leave it with me, and I'll make some commits soon.

Thank you Jerry. You do have a point.

It is tempting, even for me, to give software a description or title that we understand and that makes perfect sense to us, but LL is a beginners OS. Everything we do must consider the most basic language, the most naive pc user :)
