Convert the pic to XPM format with fewer than 80 colors. Drop it into /usr/dt/backdrops/ with an extension of .pm.

cheers

I've never done this, but I remember seeing a chapter in a old Sun training manual I have laying around. So I'll copy what they said for you but I'm not sure it will work. Looks to me like you need to put that Xconfig file in a different place but other than that your example was right. Hopefully these instructions will help.

----------------------

1. Change to the /etc/dt/config/C directory. Create it if it does not exist.

cd /etc/dt/config/C
cp /usr/dt/config/C/Xresources .

2. Edit the /etc/dt/config/C/Xresources file and change the following line:

!! Dtlogin*logo*bitmapFile:

to include the path to your bitmap or pixmap file

3. Save the file

4. Log out. A different image appears on the Dtlogin screen.
