Custom Login Screen

The default login screen for the FirstClass client does not identify users with their own FirstClass system. System administrators can use the FirstClass Designer application to modify the default login form to add their own background graphic and colours.

All FirstClass forms must have a unique ID. You can create your own forms, but you can also replace or modify reserved FirstClass forms and push them out to your users, thus overriding the built in forms that FirstClass uses in the FirstClass Client.

The main reason for creating a custom login form is to create a custom background so that your users can identify with your organization. The first step is to create an image that will act as the background for your login form

Now that you have your background image in place, you can modify the text colours to better display over your background.
The sample login form has all text fields set to black.

Your new Login form can be pushed out to all users via the "All Desktops" group or one of your user groups so long as the group has been set to Desktop View.
It is important to realize that once the new login form has been pushed out to users, the form will be merged with the user's logged in settings file. If the user moves to another computer that has not yet had the new login form merged, the default login screen will be displayed.
