[comp.windows.x] Open Look for the 3B2

drubin@prism.poly.edu (Dave Rubin) (05/29/91)

We recently installed AT&T's Open Look GUI on our 3B2.  Although we have the
User Guide, Reference, and several Programmer's guides, I have been unable
to find definitions of the various resources that one can use to control
the function of the olwm window manager.  I am interested in the resources
corresponding to properties such as Mwm's "KeyboardFocusPolicy", and such
things as border colors, icon location, etc.

Does anyone know where I can find a list of olwm's resource definitions,
if not specifically for AT&T's product, then for the generic olwm program?
Thanks ... please respond via E-mail.

Here are a couple from my .Xdefaults file.

# draw(T)/don't draw(F) borders around icons
*iconBorder:	true

# where to place icons (north, south, east, west)
*iconGravity:	east

# Color of the object with the current focus
*inputFocusColor:	green

# move windows as a group(T)/individually(F)
*windowLayering:	true

# Color for border of olwm managed windows
olwm*windowFrameColor:	orange

# should error sork space manager start with the menu up and pinned
olwsm.menuPinned:	true

# color of the work space
olwsm.workspace:	black


I can't say as I've seen any sort of docs on these, though.  You might
try changing things through the menus after making a copy of
.Xdefaults, then diffing the old and new versions.
