I will give it a try in the future, but so far i will stick to the flaming computer logo. I neglected those, resulting in a complete crash of my system. See this thread for more infoĪlso, there are various important restrictions regarding the xpm file. However, there is a remark on changing the logo. The logo is located in usr/share/pixmaps and is called xscreensaver.svg and xscreensaver.xpm. If you are familiar with svg image programmes (like Inkscape), you also could modify the logo to suit your own wishes. The run through the following steps to enable your changes: xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources Xscreensaver.dateFormat: %I:%M%P %a %b %d, %YĬopy and paste the following for the second picture: xscreensaver.splash: false !datestamp format-see the strftime(3) manual page for details !timeout bar (background is actually determined by ) !username/password input box and date text colour !general dialog box (affects main hostname, username, password text)
Xresources located in the home folder.Ĭopy and paste the following for the first picture above: xscreensaver.splash: false Using leafpad ( leafpad ~/.Xresources) create/amend the file. Anything more will probably need to recompile xscreensaver and change the source. The closest you can come to theming is to change the colours/fonts & date-time format.
