NAME

       wdmlogin.conf - configuration options for wdmLogin

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/X11/wdm/wdmlogin.conf  specifies geometry and font attributes for wdmLogin, the login widget that is
       a component of the wdm  package.   An  alternate  location  for  this  file  can  be  specified  via  the
       wdmLoginConfig resource in /etc/X11/wdm/wdm.config.

       wdmlogin.conf uses the somewhat ill-documented libproplist file format.  The file must begin and end with
       an open- and close-brace, respectively.  Between the braces, three options are available:

       geometry = (w, h, x, y);
              If  set,  this option allows the wdmLogin window to be resized and repositioned within the screen.
              The x and y coordinates specify the location of  the  top  left  corner  of  the  window  and  are
              optional.

       aa = <yes|no>;
              If  set  to  yes,  then support for antialiased fonts is enabled.  Note that this is not currently
              supported by libWINGs in Debian, and thus has no effect.

       multibyte = <yes|no>;
              If set to yes, then support for multibyte character sets  is  enabled.   Note  that  this  is  not
              currently supported by libWINGs in Debian, and thus has no effect.

EXAMPLE

        {
               geometry = (530, 240);
               aa = no;
               multibyte = no;
        }
