## Users

From here you can change the way users are represented in the login window.

### Images

### Select users

### Images

Every user on the system is represented by a image. The image for the user is kept in a file called `$(KDEDIR)/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/$(USER).xpm.`
If the user doesn't have such a file the file `$(KDEDIR)/share/apps/kdm/pics/users/default.xpm` will be used instead.
To assign a new image to a user just selct the user in one of the listboxes and:

- Drop an imagefile on the image button to the right.

or

- Click on the image button and select a new image from the image selector.

If no user is currently selected you will be asked if you want to change the default image.
The replacement is performed by a KFM process so if the imagefile allready exists you will be prompted by KFM if you wan't to replace it. If you confirm the image will be replaced - you will NOT have to press the "Apply" button.

### Select users

If you choose not to show users, the users will have to write their user name at the login window. If you choose to show users they can simply click on an icon representing themself, enter their password an click "Go".

The pages contains three listboxes. The large listbox on the left shows all the users on the system which we may presume could be a genuine user.
The top rightmost listbox shows the slected users and the bottom rightmost listbox shows the users we don't want displayed in the login window. To move a user from one listbox to another you click on the username in the listbox and selects ">>" to move the user from the leftmost box the the rightmost box - or "<<" to move the user from the rightmost box to the leftmost box.

The users to show can be selected in two ways:

- Selected users only: Show only users in the top rightmost listbox. Select the users from the leftmost listbox and click on the top ">>" button to move them to the selected users listbox. Then select the radio-button "Show only selected users".
- All but no-show users: Show all users but the ones from the bottom left listbox. Select the users you dont want to show from the leftmost listbox and move them to the "No-show" listbox by clicking on the bottom ">>" button.
