D Customizing the Smart Zero login screen
Customizing the screen background
This section describes the common attributes and elements used in customizing the client login
screen background.
There is one directory per connection type—plus a default style—that specifies the style elements of
the connection’s background image and login window style.
In a style directory, the file bgConfig.rtf specifies the elements in the desktop's background window.
The syntax of the bgConfig.rtf file is in a stylesheet-like format with some or all of the elements
described below. Each element begins with an element type and then a set of attributes surrounded
by braces, such as in the following example:
global {
color: 666666; # Dark gray
padding: 20; # 20 pixels }
Any number of image or text elements can be specified. If any gradients are specified, only the last of
them is used to color the desktop's background; otherwise, the color specified in the global section is
used. Any line that begins with a number sign “#” is considered a comment and is ignored, as are
blank lines. Text following a semicolon that begins with a “#” is also treated as a comment, such as
the previous example.
Each element is assigned a set of attributes such as size, color, and position. Each attribute is
specified by the attribute name, followed by a colon, followed by its values, followed by a semicolon,
all on a single line. Some of these attributes are common to many element types.
The elements include:
●
