Problem: ProfileUnity adding custom logo to splash screen

Steps:

  1. If the logo being added is a Non-Persistent VDI or a Online Persistent VDI go to step 1a. If not, go to step 1b.

    1a. Go to the directory of the configuration profile to where a custom logo would be added (If unsure of the configuration directory it can be found in the client settings deployment path under the administration tab in the ProfileUnity console or see image below)

    1b. Go to the directory of the client.net if the logo being added wants to be done with a persistent offline machine

  2. Rename the client.net.zip file within the configuration directory to client.net.backup.zip so reverting can be possible if any errors occur.

  3. Afterwards extract out the renamed client.net.zip file by right clicking the file and clicking extract all.

  4. Go to the extracted directory and two options can be done to add the custom logo file. 
    4a. Add a file called client-custom-logo-300x86.bmp, .jpg, .gif, .png, or .tif to the folder
    or
    4b. Right click the file LwL.ProfileUnity.Client.Splash.exe.config and click Edit

    Go to the line showing LogoImageLocation

    then edit and put the path within the value field (Example Below)Example_LogoImageLocation.png
    Additionally, the LogoSizeMode field can be edited using the ovalid values from this link:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.windows.forms.pictureboxsizemode?view=net-5.0
    Also, the LogoForeColor, LogoBackColor, SplashForeColor, SplashBackColor fields can be edited using the values from this link:
    https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.drawing.knowncolor?view=net-5.0
    After everything is edited, save the file.
  5. Compress the client.net extracted folder by going to the parent of that extracted directory, then right click the extracted folder, highlight over Send to, then click Compressed (zipped) folder and name it client.net

  6. Make sure when zipping back up that the folder extracted structure is client.zip versus client.zip\client.zip\files
  7. Test the logo appears on the VDIs upon splash screen.
