Fedora logon screen customizations

Just a few tips on how to tweak fedora's logon screen

Set time to default to 12h clock on logon screen and newly create users

Create override file.

sudo cat >> /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.desktop.interface.gschema.override << EOF
[org.gnome.desktop.interface]
clock-format='12h
EOF

Recompile schemas

sudo glib-compile-schemas /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas

Set the gnome display setting on Wayland logon screen

From the logon screen select the settings wheel -> "GNOME on Wayland" and logon with your user. Then customize the display as you see fit. Copy the monitors configuration.

cp ~/.config/monitors.xml /var/lib/gdm/.config/monitors.xml

Note: It looks like Wayland names things differently requiring you to configure it while logged in using Wayland. X11 seems to work with the Wayland format so no worries logging in normally.

Optionally configure while logged in normally, copy the monitors.xml and disable Wayland all together. Disable Wayland by un-commenting WaylandEnable=false in /etc/gdm/custom.conf.
