For the DS3100, what are the appropriate files to change to replace the large
"digital" logo on the login screen with something much nicer to stare at (like
maybe an image of myself :-) )?
Also for pausing from the session manager (dxsession), can the password
verification screen be modified?
Thanks for any help.
John.

It's like the system just sits there any says, "this is the price you pay for not giving us some extra advertising..." Or am I just imagining things? BTW, I have tried (and succeeded) to turn off the DIGITAL logo by adding a "*displayLogo: off" line to /.Xdefaults (which I believe is the "correct" way to override the master defaults that are stored in /usr/lib/X11/app- defaults/{XSessionManager,SessionManager}). --Mark Hastings (415) 642-4611 hastings@ernie.berkeley.edu ..!ucbvax!ernie!hastings

There is currently no way -- using our session manager -- to supply your own image, icon, bitmap, whatever, to display in place of the Digital logo. You can turn it on or off. I guess it never dawned on the designer that anyne would want to have something else -- like a university name, project logo, Armando Stettner's saved face from Usenix -- displayed there. I understand that it is a product requirement for a future release. Fred

It _seemed_ longer than 15 seconds, but I didn't bother timimg it. Mark, you're not imagining things, and I agree that we're being penalized for not providing free advertising. By the way: the copyright string at the bottom of the login box can be modified (check the app-defaults file) with no apparent penalty (evil chuckle).
