- ==============================================================
- File: README
- Directory: /usr/lib/X11/dt/examples/Dtwm
- Version: $Revision: /main/2 $
- ==============================================================
- The files in this subdirectory are to demonstrate a
- variety of Workspace Manager and menu configurations.
- vertical.rc - contains dtwm configuration information for
- a vertical front panel.
- vertical.defs - contains resource definitions for the above.
- box.rc - contains dtwm configuration information for
- a multi-row, compact front panel.
- box.defs - contains resource definitions for the above.
- Before experimenting, you may wish to save your current
- environment so that you can restore it later.
- 1. Press the Style Manager button in the front panel
- to start the Style Manager (the button in the bottom
- row that looks like a color palette).
- 2. Press the "Startup" button in the Style Manager to
- access the "Session Startup" window.
- 3. Press the "Ask me at Logout" button so that you
- have a choice before logging out.
- 4. Press the "Set Home Session" button to save your
- current settings as your home session.
-
- 5. Press the "OK" button to continue the operation.
- 6. When the hourglass pointer disappears, the operation
- is completed. Press the "OK" button to dismiss the
- "Session Startup" window.
- After saving your home session, you can begin experimenting:
- 1. Merge the desired 'defs' file into your display environment.
- For example:
- xrdb -merge vertical.defs
- 2. Check to see if you have a file called 'dtwmrc' in your
- .dt directory. If so, save it.
- ls $HOME/.dt
- cp $HOME/.dt/dtwmrc $HOME/.dt/dtwmrc.sav
- 3. Copy the 'rc' file into your .dt directory, renaming it
- 'dtwmrc'. For example:
- cp vertical.rc $HOME/.dt/dtwmrc
- 4. Restart dtwm:
- With the pointer over the workspace background,
- press mouse button 1 to display the Workspace Menu.
- Select "Restart Dtwm..." from the Workspace Menu.
-
- 5. To restore your original environment:
- a. Remove the dtwmrc file, and copy back the original, if
- you saved one.
- rm $HOME/.dt/dtwmrc
- cp $HOME/.dt/dtwmrc.sav $HOME/.dt/dtwmrc
- b. Log out and log back in again using the Home Session
- you saved:
- - Move the pointer to the front panel and press the
- Exit button (the button that has the busy light).
- - Select "Restore Home" from the "Logout Confirmation"
- window.
- - Log back in again.
- 6. To save one of these Workspace Managers as your own, simply
- select "Restart Current" when you log out instead of
- "Restore Home".
- Note:
- ------
- You may want to change back to your original Style
- Manager startup configuration by selecting "Resume current
- session" from the Startup dialog.
