Centmin Mod 140.00beta01 & 141.00beta01 new compact DMOTD display on SSH login

Centmin Mod 140.00beta01 and 141.00beta01 have a new SSH login MOTD login interface design and layout toggle variables for more compact designs. The 2 new variables are self-explanatory that you can set in persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc can override the defaultsr.

As of May 20, 2026, these 2 are enabled by default so you no longer need to set in persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc

Code (Text):

DMOTD_COMPACT='y'
DMOTD_FANCY='y'

But if you want to disable compact mode, set in persistent config file /etc/centminmod/custom_config.inc

Code (Text):

DMOTD_COMPACT='n'
DMOTD_FANCY='n'

Fancy Compact

This requires terminal emulation set to xterm with color/256 color otherwise will fall back to normal compact style further below
