X B a n n e r - v 1 . 1
An XDM login screen beautifier program
by Amit Margalit
Hello all!
First off, XBanner has a home-site now. This means a real home for XBanner
and the XBanner home-page. On this occasion I'd like to send many thanks to
Rich McClellan <richmc@seneca.fullerton.edu> for helping me set this up!
Home page is: http://chaos.fullerton.edu/XBanner/
So you can now download XBanner 1.1 from:
ftp://chaos.fullerton.edu/pub/Linux/XBanner/XBanner1.1.tar.gz
or the old place:
ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/X11/xutils/XBanner1.1.tar.gz
(unless it is still in /Incoming)
New and hot in XBanner 1.1!
===========================
XBanner v1.1 can now fill your background with a color gradient, just to
make it look even more pleasing and "professional".
Also, the documentation was reworked, and the homepage has been updated a
bit.
What Is XBanner?
- ----------------
Do you run XDM? Does your system load the X-Window system and then asks for
your username/password? If this is the case XBanner can make that login
screen look much much nicer.
XBanner simply takes the text you tell it to, and draws it onto the screen
in a font of your choice. It renders an effect that you can choose and some
of these effects can look awsome.
Here's the LSM:
Title: XBanner
Version: 1.1
Entered-date: 1-June-1996
Description: This program draws a text line on the X root window with
some nice effects. It is meant to be run by XDM's Xsetup_0
script, to give a nice XDM's login box a nice touch.
Keywords: X, X-Windows, XDM, X11, banner
