NSCM dtlogin customization

Yes, there is a method to change the logo....

NOTE: This cusomization could be overwritten with a Sun Ray patch or upgrade

NOTE: This logo is a 237x237 xpm format file

cd /opt/SUNWut/lib/pixmaps

mkdir orig

mv *.xpm orig

cp /path/to/newlogo.xpm ./

ln -s ./newlogo.xpm GUdefault.xpm

ln -s ./newlogo.xpm GUsunray.xpm

ln -s ./newlogo.xpm NSCdefault.xpm

ln -s ./newlogo.xpm NSCsunray.xpm

ln -s ./newlogo.xpm SCdefault.xpm

ln -s ./newlogo.xpm SCsunray.xpm

That's correct.

The NSCM greeters weren't designed to be configurable to the same extent that dtlogin's greeter is. There's no way to reconfigure NSCM to take on the appearance(s) of the S10 dtlogin greeter.

Even if that were possible I'd think twice before doing it. Making the NSCM greeters look like the dtlogin greeter has caused a lot of confusion. With hindsight it would have been better to give the NSCM greeter its own distinctive appearance so that it was very clear to users that they were interacting with NSCM, not with dtlogin.
