Just a quick stupid question. I've been trying to figure out which resource or which flag controls which type of 3D look I get. There's the default (with no lines in .Xdefaults, etc) which basically indents the entire title bar of the window with the input focus. Then there's the one I have now, which is two microscopic lines, one at the top and one at the bottom of the title bar which appear on the window with the input focus. I've tried changing just about every resource which seems remotely logical to control this sort of thing, and I have had no luck getting anywhere. Yet, whenever someone uses Open Windows for the first time without creating a .Xdefaults or .Xresources file or manipulating anything, they get the infinitely more visible version of this. I really don't have time to start from empty and add a billion resources one at a time until it breaks. Any suggestions as to the one thing I didn't try? Thanks, Michael lamour@mitre.org

the SetInput resource changes the graphics as well as the input focus
mode.
Probably the people who wrote the manual didn't know that either...

The type of highlighting on the title bar reflects whether you have click-to-focus set (highlighted/indented block) or are in follow-mouse mode (twin rules). Chris Flatters

I think that they did know: see page 64 of the OPEN LOOK User Interface Functional Specification. Chris Flatters

The choice is controlled by input focus mode. The indented header indicates click-to-type, the two lines indicate focus-follows-mouse.

You start with the indented headers because you start in click-to-type mode. Personally, I would favor changing the default input mode, and swapping the indicators; but it is -much- too late to change the spec... -Pat
