How to change the Novell login Bitmap and replace it with a customer's company logo?
cause
-
There are two places where a Novell logo appears in Client32. The first is when the user logs in. To change this logo, go to the Novell Client Properties, and on the "Advanced Login" tab you'll see a bitmap filename under the "Welcome Screen" section. That's the filename you can change to apply a different picture. The caption is under it.
The screen saver login banner AND Red N login AND Log Off user login as another user seems to be hardcoded and is not replaceable like the login logo. Here is information from the BANNER.TXT file that provides instructions on how to replace the screen saver banner.
fix
To replace the banner, use the following registry settings in key path HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE\Software\Novell\Login\Banner:
- String value: Image. This is the path to a .BMP file. This file will be used for the banner. The true width of the banner is determined by the font being used. Larger fonts will allow wider bitmaps. It is suggested that the width of the image not exceed 400 pixels. The height of banner is dynamically determined at run time so any reasonable size may be used. If Image is not set, no banner will be shown.
- String value: Brush. This is the path to a .BMP file containing an 8x8 pixel bitmap. This pattern will be used to paint the background of the banner. If the Brush value string is not set, the background will be drawn the same color as the buttons.
- String value: Color Scheme. This is the path to a .BMP file containing a 3x1 pixel bitmap. The pixel at 1,1 will be used for the "transparent" color. That is, any pixel in the image file that is this color will be painted as transparent. The pixel at 2,1 will be used as the highlight color and the pixel at 3,1 will be used as the shadow color when drawing the 3D bevel effect on the banner. If the Color Scheme value string is not set, there will be no transparency and the 3D effect will be drawn using the system defined colors for 3D highlight and shadow.
- DWORD value: Stretch. A setting of 0 leaves the bitmap "as is" when painting it; 1 causes the bitmap to be stretch horizontally to fit across the window. If the Stretch value is not set, there will be no stretching.
