@VuiMuich Just figured out how to use LeftWM seems fully functional, but it refuses to start from TTY nor SLiM

Thats good, I would assume the screen isnt clearing/updating properly after launch (this could be an issue with SLiM as it is quite out of date). If it updates once a window moves over it have you tried a theme and seen whether the background loading also hides the ghost text.
