General Settings (wlx.ini, $MAC.ini, and {username}.ini Files)

Table 5 contains parameters used for configuring general settings.

Table 5 General Settings: wlx.ini files, $MAC.ini files, and {username}.ini files

Parameter Description

DesktopTaskBar={bottom, top, left,

right}

DesktopTaskBar — Specifies the position of the

taskbar. For example: DesktopTaskBar=left

Include=path/filename Includes another .ini file at the position of this

command.

NOTE: Only one level of include is allowed (nesting is

not allowed).

Note also that the placement of the include=wlx.ini

parameter within the $MAC.ini file will dictate which

value will take priority for a same specific parameter

that is contained in both the wlx.ini file and the

$MAC.ini file but is defined differently (different values

for the same parameter).

For example, if the wlx.ini file has parameterA=valueB,

and the $MAC.ini file has the same

parameterA=valueC, then:

- If the include=wlx.ini parameter is included in the

$MAC.ini file before the parameterA=valueC

statement, then the wlx.ini parameterA=valueB is

discarded and parameterA=valueC (from the $MAC.ini

file) is the final value used.

- If the include=wlx.ini parameter is included in the

$MAC.ini file after the parameterA=valueC statement,

then the $MAC.ini parameterA=valueC is discarded

and parameterA=valueB (from the wlx.ini file) is the

final value used.

INIFileSource={cache, local, server} Default is cache.

Specifies the location of the ini file to use:

•local is the ini file created from settings made

on the client GUI.

•cache is the cached/saved/used-at

least-once ini file (originally from a file server

or from the local GUI—for example, a GUI

initially set up by an administrator).

IMPORTANT: If a file server is available, the cache

value will still allow the client to first look to a file

server for the latest ini available on the server to

use. However, if a file server is not found (for

example, the file server is down), the client will use

the cached/saved/used-at least-once ini file.

•server is the ini file only from the file server

(such as an FTP server). NOTE: The server

value will not allow the client to use a cached

ini file.

Panel.NetworkIcon={no, yes} Yes/no option to display the network icon on the

home panel for low and none privilege users.

Password=<password> Specifies the plain text or base64 encoded password

for the ini user.
