Hiya, I'm in the middle of my first Open Look program (under X) and I'm wondering why when I use the OpenLook widgets they don't have the cool 3-D effect that I have with the olwm window manager, the mailtool, etc. Is there some resource or variable I need to set for this? +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+ | Ken Kirksey | "I stay driven 'cause there's nowhere to park, | | | I can't shut my eyes, I'm afraid of the dark, | | Computer Engineering | I lie awake, that stone left me chilled to | | | the bone, | | Auburn University | Sound the alarm before it's done, | | | Find Jim Morrison!" | | kkirksey@eng.auburn.edu | - Steve Taylor | +---------------------------+------------------------------------------------+

OpenWindows OLIT 2.0 is only a 2-D toolkit. However, contact your local Sun sales rep and ask about getting the OLIT 2.5 distribution, which is based on Unix System Laboratories' Open Look 4.0 toolkit and therefore has a 3-D look (and some other nifty new features). OLIT 2.5 is an add-on to OpenWindows 2.0 that replaces the OLIT 2.0 code, and also contains an updated version of libXt.a that'll elminate all that ugly "widget version mismatch" messaging.

If you are using the OLIT (Open Look Intrinsics) under Openwindows 2.0, then the 2.5-D look is all you will get. The next version of OLIT will have full 3-D effect. Andrew Lih AT&T Bell Labs lih@probe.mt.att.com

I'm guessing you are using an older version of the OLIT toolkit - the version which ships with OpenWindows V2 is based on USL's older Release2.0, which was 2d only. However, the good news is that USL released a 3D version last December, known as Release4.0. Sun will be releasing a new version of OLIT based on Release4.0 (thus 3D) soon. Contact Heather Rose, Sun's OLIT Product Manager, for details. Regards, Amy Moore aim@sun.com

Hi OLIT(OpenLook Intrinsics Toolkit) that came with OpenWindows 2.0(which I think you're using) unfortunately does'nt support 3-D. The good news is that we have an unbundled release of OLIT and the version is 2.5 which has * 3-D * mouseless * new widgets * numerous bug fixes, enhanced features, etc. I'd strongly recommend this release namely OLIT 2.5 Hope this helps.
