Hi there,
Does anyone know if there's a trick to getting the Decstation and
Vaxstation 3100's (X11 under Ultrix) to use a different icon in the window?
The window manager doesn't seem to care for the idea, but the big guys like
GKS and postscript previewer do it. Also, none of the net programs (xrn, etc.)
that include new icons will change it.
Any help would be appreciated.
E-mail me at csbrad@knuth.mtsu.edu
Thanks,
Brad Maxwell

There is a slight trick to using different icons, if you are using small icons that is. Before we start, you should note that the big icons are 32x32 pixels and the small icons are 16x16 pixels for the DECwindows window manager. If you are using a toolkit, it's actually pretty easy once you know how. You need to set the XtNiconifyPixmap resource on the toplevel shell widget to your pixmap (`XtNiconifyPixmap' is defined in /usr/include/X11/Vendor.h): XtSetArg( arglist[i], XtNiconifyPixmap, <pixmap> ); i++; XtSetValues( <toplevel-shell>, arglist, i ); This sets both the icon pixmap and the iconify button in the window banner. Actually, you can probably set XtNiconifyPixmap on any shell widget that the window manager sees (eg. doesn't have override redirect set). By the way, the XtNiconPixmap resource can be used to set big icons (`XtNiconPixmap is defined in /usr/include/X11/Shell.h). If you are using straight Xlib, the example below (sorry, I'm not sure where I got it from anymore) shows how to set both big and small icons.
