[comp.windows.open-look] olwm question

fitz@frc2.frc.ri.cmu.edu (Kerien Fitzpatrick) (02/17/91)

My apologies if this has been asked and answered already.  I would
like to know how to bring up some windows without titlebars when using
olwm.  My specific interest are apps such as xman and xload.

Thanks,

Olwm doesn't support this.

The following resource does the trick:

OpenWindows.MinimalDecor:	xload Xman

The name of the application is any of the strings in the WM_CLASS
property.  You may need to use xprop to find out what this actually
is (I did).

Unless I have misunderstood the original question, titlebars can be
removed with the following resource:

  OpenWindows.MinimalDecor:  Faces XMeter xpostit PostItNote xpbiff

Thus, xpbiff, for example, will have no titlebar.  On the otherhand,
the windows will still have borders, but one can live with that.

Somebody asked how to bring up xclients without title bars when
using OLWM ...


The following resource should do it:

OpenWindows.MinimalDecor:	your-minimalist-xclients-here

Use

    OpenWindows*MinimalDecor:   xman xload

in your .Xdefaults.  It works for me.

I beg to differ, olwm does support this.

From the olwm man page:

RESOURCES
     OpenWindows.MinimalDecor (list of strings)
          Specifies a list of windows that are  to  be  decorated
          minimally.   Decoration on such windows includes only a
          thin border and resize corners, with no  title  bar  or
          window  button.   The  value  should  be  a whitespace-
          separated list of strings.  Each string should  specify
          an  applications  class  or instance name, as passed in
          the WM_CLASS property.  Most applications set this pro-
          perty  based  on  the  name  of  the  executable  (i.e.
          argv[0]).  Many applications will allow you to override
          the  value of this property if they are given the -name
          option on the command line.  Default value: (null).
