CDE login window resize?
I was asked to display a banner on the CDE login window and I have successfully accomplished that task. This is what I did:

1) made the directory /etc/dt/config/C
2) cp /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources /etc/dt/config/C
3) I edited /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources and ensured the following lines were present in MISC block of the file:

Dtlogin*logo*bitmapFile: /usr/snadm/etc/admintool.xpm
Dtlogin*greeting.labelString: Access and use of this machine \nis
restricted to authorized users

4) saved the file and quit

However, the xpm file that is using is warning text and it is to large to display under the normal viewing of, I believe is, 237 by 237 pixels. Is there a way to resize the CDE login screen to accommodate the xpm file? I believe there should be a way because when I enter my user name and then when it asked me to enter my password, and I enter the wrong password and after I click “ok” to the error message then the CDE login window resizes perfectly and the xpm file is seeing in its entirety.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...

dtwsmchangebackdrop

DtWsmChangeBackdrop(API)												  DtWsmChangeBackdrop(API)

NAME

       DtWsmChangeBackdrop -- set current workspace's backdrop

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Dt/Wsm.h>
       int DtWsmChangeBackdrop(
       Display *display,
       Window root,
       char *path,
       Pixmap pixmap);

DESCRIPTION

       The  DtWsmChangeBackdrop function works with the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), and changes the current workspace's backdrop. Applications
       can use this function to implement an interface to the workspace manager.

       If the DtWsmChangeBackdrop function is not successful, the most likely reason for failure is that the CDE workspace  manager,  dtwm(1),	is
       not running.

       DtWsmChangeBackdrop sends a message to the CDE workspace manager, dtwm(1), to change the backdrop.

       The path argument points to a backdrop file name.  The file must be in either X Bitmap file format (with extension .bm) or Pixmap file for-
       mat (with extension .pm).  The workspace management services look for the file along the same path used for searching icons.  The directory
       /usr/dt/backdrops is the default directory if the file cannot be found along the icon search path.

ARGUMENTS

       display	 display

       root	 root window of the screen

       path	 file path to bitmap file

       pixmap	 pixmap ID of backdrop pixmap
