I'd like to use Openwindows. Some of its features are quite nice. However
a. I made the change I saw somewhere to have focus follow the pointer
(instead of click for focus). But it didn't seem to work.
b. I have resources for xmh which give me extra buttons (makes it more
like the old one). The buttons appear and change when you move into
them but when you click they don't do anything.
c. Xmh fonts and buttons look different from X11R4.
Any help would be appreciated.
Why don't we create comp.windows.open?

But it didn't seem to work. I have the following line in my .Xdefaults file in my home directory: OpenWindows.SetInput: followmouse Try a "man olwm" to see the values you can set for the SetInput resource. The on-line man pages for the window manager, olwm, should aid you to solving your problem. Note that in OpenWindows 2.0, the release notes (I think it was the release notes) state that the applications shipped with OpenWindows may still require a mouse click, even in the focus-follows-mouse style for keyboard input. If so, you may be SOL. >Why don't we create comp.windows.open? Try looking in comp.windows.open-look, as a lot of Sun users seem to post there. >Bob Smart Have fun, -Eric -- Eric F.

Xmh fonts and buttons look different from X11R4. I too have noticed b and c (I haven't tried a). I can cope with c, but b is very annoying. The worst of it is when you try to reply or compose and the save buttons etc don't do anything. This means that xmh can be nothing but a reader. >Any help would be appreciated. >Why don't we create comp.windows.open?
