Hi All,

First time caller here, recent convert and tinkerer with Sun Ray stuff.

I have an eval system I have set up in my office here with a Sun Ray 170, 
talking
to SRSS v.4 on Solaris 10 x86. I've registered the DTU and have a nice Firefox
session running in Kiosk mode on my DTU. Impressively easy to configure and
setup.


I have a couple of n00b questions though:

1) I'm not a fan of the default JDS theme (blueprint) - I've installed and
customised a nice theme made up of downloaded bits and pieces
from Art.Gnome.org. How do I pipe this to the Kiosk session?

eg. at the moment logged on locally to the server hosting SRSS, theme
is fine, but on my DTU running the kiosk session, I still get the old
purple JDS blueprint theme.


I have populated /etc/opt/SUNWkio/prototypes/jds3 with the additional "things" that I want the kiosk to show. Any thing you put in here is copied to the kiosk users temporary homedirectory every time a Kiosk is regenerated.

2) Similarly, in Firefox I have enabled a kiosk plugin following most of
the steps at http://blogs.sun.com/ThinkThin/entry/kiosk_mode_browser
(very useful blog!)

I want to be able to install some Firefox themes which alter the look and
feel of the navigation buttons etc, how do I apply this to the kiosk browser
session?

Eg. I have installed Firefox 2 at /opt/firefox and want to make this a 
completely
separate instance to the existing Firefox install I run locally on the machine.
I thought I could launch /opt/firefox/firefox logged on locally on the server,
install the themes and what-not and hey presto, but these don't show up
in the kiosk session.

I figured running SRSS in a zone would be a easy solution, until I found out
this was not supported
Similar to above you need to put a prepared .mozilla/firefox directory ( template ) in /etc/opt/SUNWkio/prototypes/jds3 complete with all the extensions and Plugins you want the kiosk user to have.

The reason your additional stuff dont show up is because the kiosk user has a virgin .mozilla/firefox
directory everytime the kiosk is regenerated.
