# KDM configuration example. # Note, that all comments will be lost if you change this file with # the kcontrol frontend. # # Definition: the greeter is the login dialog, i.e., the part of KDM # which the user sees. # # You can configure every X-display individually. # Every display has a display name, which consists of a host name # (which is empty for local displays), a colon and a display number. # Additionally, a display belongs to a display class (which can be # ignored in most cases; the kcontrol config frontend does not support # this feature at all). # Sections with display-specific settings have the formal syntax # "[X-" host [":" number [ "_" class ]] "-" sub-section "]" # You can use the "*" wildcard for host, number and class. You may omit # trailing components; they are assumed to be "*" then. # The host part may be a domain specification like ".inf.tu-dresden.de". # From which section a setting is actually taken is determined by these # rules: # - an exact match takes precedence over a partial match (for the host part), # which in turn takes precedence over a wildcard # - precedence decreases from left to right for equally exact matches # Example: display name "myhost:0", class "dpy". # [X-myhost:0_dpy] precedes # [X-myhost:0_*] (same as [X-myhost:0]) precedes # [X-myhost:*_dpy] precedes # [X-myhost:*_*] (same as [X-myhost]) precedes # [X-*:0_dpy] precedes # [X-*:0_*] (same as [X-*:0]) precedes # [X-*:*_*] (same as [X-*]) # These sections do NOT match this display: # [X-hishost], [X-myhost:0_dec], [X-*:1], [X-:*] # If a setting is not found in any matching section, the default is used. # # Every comment applies to the following section or key. # # Greeter background # XXX do this on a per-display basis: should be [X-*-Desktop] # HELPME: I need help with kbackgroundrenderer! -- ossi@kde.org [Desktop0] BackgroundMode=VerticalGradient BlendBalance=100 BlendMode=NoBlending ChangeInterval=60 Color1=138,148,198 Color2=104,112,150 CurrentWallpaper=0 LastChange=0 MinOptimizationDepth=1 MultiWallpaperMode=NoMulti Pattern= Program= UseSHM=false ReverseBlending=false Wallpaper=/usr/share/backgrounds/images/default.png WallpaperList= WallpaperMode=Centred [General] # If "false", KDM won't daemonize after startup.
