Introduction

The ArchLinux Workstations are themed with either the ACM Logo or LUG logo. They are set to alternate between workstations.

Setup

This is setup by three files:

  • /etc/lxdm/LoginReady
  • /etc/lxdm/PreLogin
  • /etc/lxdm/SetLogo

LoginReady - This is exicuted as root when LXDM is ready to show the screen.

PreLogin - Executed by LXDM as root.

SetLogo - Contains the sed regex for the link and IP, the 'even' and 'odd' themes settings, and detects which theme to use.
