I connected to your BBS to take a look, and on my first call was
greeted with a wonderful sixel graphic in your login screen.
Very nice! I reconnected a few more times and saw some of your
other login screens, I like the variety.
I wasn't really aware of this being a "thing" so I logged into
Nigel's BBS to have a look:

This is very cool! I'm going to have to play with this a bit now...

You won't get a sixel image every time. There's a mix of sixel
and ansi images for supported terminals. Non sixel type terminals
will just get the ansi login.
Just an additional note - that behavior is if you have the "Random"
option set in the DDMatrix config file. It can be set to a specific
sixel login that will come up every time.

That's right.
You can also set it to just display sixel on compatible terminals
but I choose not to.

There's also a new option in the new version I released over the
weekend where, when using a random themes, you can have it choose
only a sixel theme for terminals that support sixels.
