Modify/Customize Login Screen

[harrisen]

Is it possible to edit the default login screen (attached image) that is presented after a connection to the remote desktop server has been established?

I would like to roll out a few units to my customer base and would like them to see my company branding when they're prompted to log in.

Thanks.

I have added "menu.png" and "wait.png" images to congifs folder on the SD card and added the "skin" parameter to the config file but no images are loading on the login screen.

Where am I going wrong?

1. Remove "skin" line.

Code: Select all

parameter = value

If you don’t specify value, you set parameter value to empty, but do not remove parameter.

I have removed the "skin" parameter.

To clarify—all that I should need to do is place the images I would like to us in the "congifs" file on the SD card and they should appear when on the "Please Wait..." and the login screen?

Strange. It should work.

I made new SD with the same config as yours.

Then, I copied files menu.png and wait.png from C:\Program Files (x86)\WTware\TFTPDROOT\Graphic\sample to configs folder on SD.

And I see "Your company logo" text on user/password input.

Try with our files menu.png and wait.png.

Okay—so both the "menu.png" and the "wait.png" images located in C:\Program Files (x86)\WTware\TFTPDROOT\Graphic\sample worked. After a bit more troubleshooting, I think it came down to the size of the images I was using. When I modified the images to be smaller than ~1024x768, they worked; larger images would not appear on the menu or boot screen.

With the smaller images, everything is now working. Thanks for the help!

Image should not be larger than screen. FullHD display is 1920x1080, but banner width is 64 pixels. So maximum image size for FullHD without license is 1856x1080 pixels. Small images are centered.

Hello,
Is it possible to set the background color of the "wait" screen (the first boot screen where it displays the "wait.png" image)?
I've set the image to a small transparent logo and it appears centered as desired. Because the image is smaller than a full screen image, I don't have to worry about the terminal's actual resolution, however, the back color is a pale blue. Is there a way to change the back color on this screen? Or are there plans to implement this for further customization?

Best regards,

The most complicated here is to choose, where this configuration should be. It is not main config file because in some cases it is loaded before main config.

What if we fill full screen with color of top left pixel on image?

[MattLebrao]

Filling the screen with the color of top-left pixel would work for me.

About placing the configuration, when is the initrd.wct loaded? Or maybe a separate file for boot screen options?

Whatever you find best, your suggestion would work well, though.

That would work beautifully, how do we do that?
