Recently, I've had the pleasure of trying out mwm running on a SparcStation (SunOS 4.1). What I want to know is how do I make the windows that *do not* contain the focus appear with the nice bevelled edges etc? The window that *does* contain the focus appears this way but when the focus shifts to another window the nice effects disappear. I've got a feeling it's something in the .Xdefaults setup but perusing the man page I can't see what. Any ideas? Thanks if you can help, Stuart. +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Internet : stuarth@csis.dit.csiro.au | | | Voice : +61-6-2750941 | _--_|\ | | Fax : +61-6-2571052 | / \ | | Physical : CSIRO Division of Information Technology, | \_.--._/ | | GPO Box 664, Canberra ACT 2601 | v | | AUSTRALIA | | +-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+

The window with the focus gets the darker pixmap (i.e. better 3D) visual, and the window with out focus gets a lighter pixmap. You can change the apperance via the following resources: Mwm*backgroundPixmap: 50_foreground Mwm*activeBackgroundPixmap: 25_foreground Mwm*topShadowPixmap: Mwm*activeTopShadowPixmap: Mwm*activeBottomShadowPixmap: (there are more...) Essentially there are resources for active (window with focus) and other windows (inactive). Pixmaps can have the value background, foreground, or %%_foreground (where %% are in increments of 25%).
