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.
