.TH wmlogin.conf 5 "27 May 2004" "Debian GNU/Linux"

.SH NAME
wdmlogin.conf \- configuration options for wdmLogin

.SH DESCRIPTION
.I /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.

.I 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:

.IP "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.

.IP "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.

.IP "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.

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