Does anybody know if it is possible to substitute a personalized icon for the login icon? I am talking about the icons that you see on the login screen, in which users are depicted as a person sitting in front of a console. I have a pretty good understanding of how to customize your environment once you are logged in, but I can't find any reference to the postscript files that set up the login screen.

Put in your user's home directory a directiry $HOME/.4sight/icons that contains a file login.icon. This is a sgi format (ipaste) picture that pandora will put up at login time. Usually, you take a photograph, scan it, and convert it to ipaste format. When you are happy with how it looks, name it and place it as I have said. Logout to see your pix in pandora. If you don't have a scanner, ask around and see who has. It would be a neat service if someone would make login icons from photographs for folk on the net. If I get a scanner, I would do it. What I now do it use some icons shipped with the system. dan >Date: 1 Nov 90 15:41:28 GMT >From: Stephen Wheatcraft <apple.com!tahoe!wrc.unr.edu!steve> >Organization: DRI-WRC Reno >Subject: login icons >Message-Id: <4868@tahoe.unr.edu> >Sender: info-iris-request@BRL.MIL >To: info-iris@BRL.MIL > >Does anybody know if it is possible to substitute >a personalized icon for the login icon?
