It will replace the seal icon in the task bar's launch button on the lower left of the screen. See below for how to add this file to your HTTP, HTTPS, or FTP server. **Attention: Whoever manages to spoof the server name can inject rogue images into your ThinClients.** To mitigate this risk, use HTTPS, where the attacker would have to spoof both server name and matching certificate.

This file may be a single-line file, or list all parameters as ''name=value'' pairs, each pair on a separate line, for improved readability. You can either save it as includes.chroot/boot/liveboot_params, or offer it for download via this parameter. The local file will always take precedence over an URL.

If no port is given, port 9100 is assumed. You can combine this with ''tcpprint'' and point it at 127.0.0.1:9100, but this will only work if your printer is able to understand the raw data - no processing is taking place on the client.

''nomagicpixel=1'' will disable the window manager when exactly 3 windows are detected (that's the usual situation when a fullscreen session is active). It will re-enable openbox whenever more or less than 3 windows are detected. If this fails for you, you can try ''nomagicpixel=2'', which will try to trigger on the window-minimize command and restore it to fullscreen (this will cause a short screen flickering effect).

For a default 3270 connection, the port is 23 (telnet) and does not need to be specified. For an SSL-encrypted connection (recommended), the port is 992. Hosts may be IP addresses or DNS names, and need to be separated with a ''|''. (feature available via github repo, soon via x2go repo too) +  * ''windowwidth=[n-nnn]'' - this is only available in MiniDesktop mode. It allows you to set the width of the X2GoClient login window (which gets moved and resized to the right side of your screen during session startup) to any value between 0 and 100. Note that widths smaller than 30 are not recommended and may cause further resizing once the session starts.

 +For X2Go-TCE-Live-Openbox-MicroDesktop, you can also replace the start button with your company logo by pointing the "launchicon" parameter at a download URL for it. Note that unlike the previous two options, this one needs to be a PNG (**not** a SVG) that is at least 48 x 48 pixels in size.
