Adding banner to RHEL.xml

mijohnst · 04-05-2008, 10:25 PM

I'm trying to add a pop up banner to my RHEL login screen and I found some good documentation on it, but I can't get it to work.

I added the following into the RHEL.xml file:

<item type="rect"/>
<pos anchor="n" x="50%" y="10" width="box" height="box"/>
<box>
<item type="label"/>
<normal font="Sans 14" color="#ffffff"/>
<text>
Warning!
This is my banner!
Warning!
</text>
</item>
</box>
</item>

When I added that line just below (or anywhere actually) the logo.png at the top of the script it fails with a "XML parsing error reading "/usr/share/gdm/themes/RHEL/RHEL.xml"

When I removed what I added above it goes back to working normal. I don't see anything wrong here, so I'm hoping that someone here does. What am I missing?

Thanks for the help!

I just wanted to give an update to this problem... The solution was fingered out by a Dell guy, so good job for him! Anyway, it appears I had too many slashes. Once removed it works great!

Code:

<item type="rect">
 <pos anchor="n" x="50%" y="10" width="box" height="box"/>
    <box>
      <item type="label">
       <normal font="Sans 14" color="#ffffff"/>
        <text>
        Insert the text of your warning banner here.
        </text>
     </item>
    </box>
</item>
