[comp.windows.x] Openlook V2 toolkit - 2D or 3D?

langager@trwacs.UUCP (Mike Langager) (02/22/91)

Greetings--

   I'm trying to determine why I'm only getting 2-dimensional looking 
widgets when using the OLIT toolkit supplied with OPENWINDOWS Version 2.
Did our sysadmin people miss something in the installation?  Is there some
X resource that I'm not setting properly?  Is there a separate 3D OLIT
toolkit?  I'm sure there is a simple answer to my problem and I would 
appreciate any help that anyone on the net can provide.

Mike,

The OLIT with OpenWindow 2.0 is of version 2, which isn't implemented
with 3D and mouseless features.  You can check with Sun to see when
the OLIT 4.0 will be available.

As I understood, Sun received the source code of OLIT 4.0 last October
from AT&T/USL.  I believe they are working on it.

Regards,

A couple of things worth investigating are the options that you've set
for OLWM. From the command line, 
	"olwm -3d" uses the 3D look on colour systems.

Also, you may want to check the settings for 2 boolean resources viz.
	OpenWindows.Use3D:
        OpenWindows.Use3DFrames:

Ketan.

Version 2.0 OLIT does not support 3D.  Version 2.5 does, but I'm not
sure if it is generally available yet.  If you have 2.5, set the *threeD
resource to TRUE, and use a background color that is close to neither
black nor white.  Try Gray initially.
