Hi all!
I have this setup on FreeBSD: - tdm is listening for XDMCP - Xvnc (as nobody) uses XDMCP and is started by inetd on port 5900. - any user can ssh to the server, port 5900 is accessible via tunnel - "vncviewer localhost 5900" briungs up tdm login screen - logging in and working with TDE works flawless - big thumbs up :)
But I would like to change the TDM appereance. Now it's black text on blue background, and the DPI settings are wrong (looks like they are 70dpi or something like that). The only thing I can change is the textcolor of the list of users, but the rest of the theme is ignored (no clock, background alwaqys dark blue, small text ...). Any idea which config file I should tweak?

I only ever use the default (none) theme. Have you tried it?
UseTheme=false
I make the fonts bigger, 24, 16, 18. Everything is concentrated nicely into a smallish target, yet everything is a nice easy to use largish size.

This is funny: "UseTheme=false" actually forced TDM to use the theme :) Anyway, this works now. Any idea how to set DPI value to 96 DPI ?

Hmmm. Sometimes I just comment it. I also comment away or make empty
Theme=

For DPI on Debian & derivatives I put xrandr --dpi <NUM> in /etc/X11/95-setup.

Thank you :) I put it in /opt/trinity/share/config/tdm/Xsetup and it looks like it's working.
