# Module: hostlogo

hostlogo, by default, displays a spinning fish emblem (the xiph.org logo) over the machine's hostname. It can, in fact, display any text label and/or XPM (including, obviously, animated XPMs).

## Current platforms

All

## Instances

multiple allowed

## additional resources

ipad, label, logopixmap

ipad specifies an internal padding to add to the inside of all four module borders. The padding is added inside any relief.

label is a standard resource, which hostlogo uses to set the default label (the hostname).

'logopixmap' may be set to the filename of any XPM file; this XPM will then be displayed instead of the spinning fish.

note that the refresh rate is set inside the XPM at the 'Animated' comment. See lib/fishframe.xpm for an example. This value may be overridden using scalerefresh.

## Resource defaults

Resource defaults explicitly altered from the global defaults by this module:

- borderwidth: 1
- label: (hostname)
- order: 0
- scalejustify: 0
- scalelenadj: 60
- scalewidadj: 100

MGM will not get your whites whiter or your colors brighter. It will, however, sit there and look spiffy while sucking down a major honking wad of RAM.
