dtstyle(user cmd) dtstyle(user cmd) NAME dtstyle -- the CDE Style Manager SYNOPSIS dtstyle DESCRIPTION Note: There are no style manager specific options that can be speci- fied in the command line. Dtstyle provides interactive customization of visual elements and sys- tem behavior for the desktop through the style manager. This component consists of the UI and supporting code that allows the end user to interactively customize most of the visual elements and system behavior for the CDE. This component also helps define some re- source utilization conventions. The style manager's main window which consists of an iconic interface is invoked from the Front Panel. The style manager window contains icons representing customization in sev- eral areas. Key Supported Tasks Colors Sets the color palette that is used for window colors in the workspace. Fonts Sets the application font sizes as applications are started. Backdrop Sets the backdrops for workspaces. Keyboard Sets the keyboard's key click volume and character repeat ca- pability. Mouse Sets the mouse button click settings, double-click speed, pointer acceleration and pointer movement threshold. Beep Sets the beeper volume, tone, and duration. Screen Sets the screen lock and time-out intervals, chooses the screen saver client(s) to be run at time out and/or screen lock and previews the selected screen saver client(s) to the user. Window Sets the window focus policy, window raise policy and iconi- fication policy (in an icon box or on the desktop). Startup Sets the session startup policy. OPTIONS There are no style manage specific options that can be set from the command line. RESOURCES New Resources Name Class/Type Access Default imServerHosts ImServerHosts/string G NULL imserverHosts A comma-separated list of IM server hosts. Style Manager specific resources The style manager used the following resources to control its appear- ance and behavior. Name Class Type Default writeXrdbImmediate WriteXrdbImmediate Boolean True writeXrdbImmediate Controls when new font size or new mouse double-click time resources are used. If True, new resources are used when new clients start. If False, new resources are used at the next session (after logout, with "Resume Current Session" selected in the Startup dialog). The following resources are specified in Dtstyle (dtstyle's app-de- faults file). Name Class Type Default mainRC.orientation XmNorientation string HORIZONTAL componentList ComponentList string (See description) secondaryColorSetId SecondaryColorSetId int 6 toneScale.maximum XmCMaximum int 9000 toneScale.minimum XmCMaximum int 82 durationScale.maximum XmCMaximum int 25 mainRC.orientation Controls the layout of the style manager main window. If this resource is set to VERTICAL then the style manager main window is displayed ver- tically. componentList Specifies the locale-specific Style Manager components with a list of component keywords separated by spaces.

The default is 7. systemFont[1-7] Specifies a SystemFont alias for a particular font size that can be se- lected in the Font dialog. The default system font aliases are: SF1 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-xxs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: SF2 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: SF3 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: SF4 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-m*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: SF5 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-l*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: SF6 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-xl*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: SF7 -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-xxl*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: userFont[1-6] Specifies a UserFont for a particular font size that can be selected in the Font dialog. The default user fonts are local specific. For English language-US the defaults are: UF1 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xxs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: UF2 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: UF3 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-s*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: UF4 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-m*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: UF5 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-l*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: UF6 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xl*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: UF7 -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xxl*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: Color and backdrop resources: Global to The following resources are used by more than one desktop component. The syntax for specifying global resources is: *resource_id. Name Class Type Default colorUse ColorUse int dynamic* dynamicColor DynamicColor Boolean true foregroundColor ForegroundColor int dynamic* shadowPixmaps ShadowPixmaps int dynamic* writeXrdbColors WriteXrdbColors Boolean true NOTE: The display type determines default. ColorUse Specifies the number of colors to use for the user interface. The de- fault value for this resource is dependent on the number of bit planes available in the display. However, to reduce the number of col- ors used by the desktop, the default color use for a high color display is MEDIUM_COLOR. Valid values are: B_W" - Specifies a black and white sys- tem. The color palettes use only Black and White (color cells 0 and 1) and icons are displayed as bitonal images. In this configuration four color palettes are available: Black, White, BlackWhite and WhiteBlack. These palettes do not dynamically change. To change a palette, the ses- sion must be restarted. This resource value forces shadowPixmaps to True, and foregroundColor to either black or white depending on the palette chosen. LOW_COLOR" - Specifies a low color system. The color palettes use 2 color sets and icons are displayed as bitonal images. The number of color cells can be further reduced by using the resources shadowPixmaps and foregroundColor. MEDIUM_COLOR - Specifies a medium color system. The color palettes use 4 color sets and icons are dis- played as bitonal images. The number of color cells can be further re- duced by using the resources shadowPixmaps and foregroundColor. HIGH_COLOR - Specifies a high color system. The color palettes use 8 color sets and icons are displayed as multi-color images. The number of color cells can be reduced by using the resources shadowPixmaps and foregroundColor. o planes o 2-3 o 4 o 6 o 8 dynamicColor This resource can have values of True or False. dynamicColor is used to reduce the number of color cells being used. Once a palette has been selected and it is not likely to be changed, dynamicColor can be set to False. If set to False colors cannot be dynamically changed using the Style Manager. A selected palette will take effect the next session. The next time the session comes up, the color server uses Read Only color cells that can be shared by all clients, thus reducing the number of color cells used. foregroundColor This resource can have values of White, Black or Dynamic. foreground- Color causes all text (foreground) to use either pixel 0 or 1 (Black or White) or to have a color cell dedicated to foreground that changes in response to the background color (Dynamic) for each ColorSet. If set to White or Black, the number of color cells used per ColorSet is reduced by 1. shadowPixmaps For color systems, this resource can have a value of True or False. If True, topShadowColor and bottomShadowColor use the same pixel as back- ground and topShadowPixmap and bottomShadowPixmap are specified instead of solid color to create the 3D look. This reduces the number of color cells per ColorSet by 2. shadowPixmaps defaults to True for systems with 4 or less color planes (16 or less color cells), and False for systems with more than 4 color planes. writeXrdbColors This resource should only be used if non desktop Motif clients are to be run that have color schemes that conflict with the desktop colors. This resource has no impact on clients linked with the desktop Motif library. This resource specifies whether color resource information should be written out. If set to False, background and foreground re- sources are not written out with the values of the current palette. This means that the above-mentioned clients do not get the desktop col- ors when they are started. The default value is True. Color resources: client specific The following resources are specified on a per client basis. The syntax for specifying client-specific resources is: client_name_or_class*re- source_id. Name Class Type Default primaryColorSetId PrimaryColorSetId int 3 secondaryColorSetId SecondaryColorSetId int 4 primaryColorSetId This resource specifies the primary color for an application. The pri- mary color is used for the main background areas of the application and all children of the main area. The value of this resource is a number from one to eight that represents a specific color set in a palette. secondaryColorSetId This resource specifies the secondary color for an application. The secondary color is used for the menubar and all menus and dialogs of the application. This allows dialogs on the screen to be visually asso- ciated with their parent applications by matching the dialog color to the menubar. The value of this resource is a number from one to eight that represents a specific color set in a palette. Color resources: dtwm specific The following are dtwm-specific resources. Name Class Type Default activeColorSetId ActiveColorSetId int 1 inactiveColorSetId InactiveColorSetId int 2 activeColorSetId Specifies the active frame color for dtwm. The value of this resource is a number from one to eight, which represents a specific color set in a palette. inactiveColorSetId Specifies the inactive frame color for dtwm. The value of this resource is a number from one to eight, which represents a specific color set in a palette. Resources Saved to xrdb by the Style Manager The following resources are written out to xrdb by the style manager. *HelpColorUse color use mode for help. *ColorUse color use mode. *ColorPalette value of current color palette *MonochromePalette value of the current palette if it is monochrome *background motif resource *foreground motif resource Dtwm.keyboardFocusPolicy motif resource Dtwm*focusAutoRaise motif resource Dtwm*moveOpaque motif resource Dtwm*useIconBox motif resource *multiClickTime motif resource *enableBtn1Transfer when set to true button 2 performs adjust operation at the next session *systemFont: <systemFont[1-7]> font displayed in labels and other non-editable text areas. *userFont: <userFont[1-7]> font displayed in text widgets. *FontList: <systemFont[1-7]> motif resource. *XmText*FontList: <userFont[1-7]> motif resource. *XmTextField*FontList: <userFont[1-7]> motif resource. *Font: <systemFont[1-7]> motif resource. *FontSet: <systemFont[1-7]> font resource. *DtEditor*textFontList: <userFont[1-7]> dtpad resource. *imServerHosts: <host_list> A comma-separated list of input method server hosts *preeditType: <method> Methods are OnTheSpot, OverTheSpot, OffTheSpot, and Root. For details, refer to the description of the XmNpreeditType resource in the Vendor- Shell man page. ENVIRONMENT DTSCREENSAVERLIST This environment variable specifies the names of the available screen saver actions (separated by a blank space). Using this variable allows the style manager to query the actions data base and display a list of the available screen saver clients for the user and to invoke screen saver actions for preview of selected screen savers. BROADCAST MESSAGES None. PROPERTIES AND SELECTIONS The style manager uses X properties to communicate with the session manager and the window manager.
