CDE
NAME
dtwm - the CDE Window Manager
SYNOPSIS
dtwm [options]
DESCRIPTION
The dtwm window manager is an X Window System window manager based upon the
OSF/Motif window manager, mwm (version 1.2.4). It provides mwm-compatible
window management functionality, including functions that facilitate
control (by the user and the programmer) of elements of window state such
as placement, size, icon/normal display, and input-focus ownership.
The dtwm window manager is an integral part of the CDE. It communicates
with and facilitates access to other components in the environment, such as
the dtsession(1) Session Manager and the dtstyle(1) Style Manager. Many
other components are started through interactions with the Front Panel.
In addition, dtwm provides workspace management. Workspaces provide a way
of grouping together logically related windows. Each workspace is shown
independent of the other workspaces so that only those windows related to
the immediate task are visible. Workspaces give you a tool to organize
windows by task and make efficient use of screen real estate.
Options
-display display
This option specifies the display to use; see X(1X).
-xrm resourcestring
This option specifies a resource string to use.
-multiscreen This option causes dtwm to manage all screens on the
display. Since dtwm does this by default, this option is of
limited use. See the multiScreen resource for information
on managing a single screen.
-name name This option causes dtwm to retrieve its resources using the
specified name, as in name*resource.
-screens name [name [...]]
This option specifies the resource names to use for the
screens managed by dtwm. If dtwm is managing a single
screen, only the first name in the list is used. If dtwm is
managing multiple screens, the names are assigned to the
screens in order, starting with screen 0. Screen 0 gets the
first name, screen 1 the second name, and so on.
-Overlay This option can be used on high-end graphics systems that
support a set of hardware bit planes called overlay planes.
This allows users to optimize performance for graphics-
intensive applications.
If dtwm is invoked with the -Overlay option and an
application running under CDE requests an Overlay window
from the X server, that window with its associated Overlay
decorations prevents interference with data in the image
planes. Using the -Overlay option also provides access to
dtwm's Overlay colormap.
If the user does not have an appropriate high-end graphics
system, using this option has no impact.
Startup
Usually, the session manager dtsession starts up dtwm. You can alter the
command line for the window manager via the wmStartupCommand resource for
the session manager (see dtsession(1)). Similarly, you can affect the
behavior of dtwm by saving resources for dtwm as part of your session.
Appearance
The following sections describe the basic default behaviors of windows,
icons, the icon box, input focus, and window stacking. The appearance and
behavior of the window manager can be altered by changing the configuration
of specific resources. Resources are defined under the heading X DEFAULTS.
Screens
By default, dtwm manages only the single screen specified by the -display
option or the DISPLAY environment variable (by default, screen 0). If the
-multiscreen option is specified or if the multiScreen resource is True,
dtwm tries to manage all the screens on the display.
When dtwm is managing multiple screens, the -screens option can be used to
give each screen a unique resource name. The names are separated by
blanks, for example, -screens scr0 scr1. If there are more screens than
names, resources for the remaining screens will be retrieved using the
first name. By default, the screen number is used for the screen name.
Windows
Default dtwm window frames have distinct components with associated
functions:
Title Area In addition to displaying the client's title, the title area
is used to move the window. To move the window, place the
pointer over the title area, press button 1 and drag the
window to a new location. By default, a wire frame is moved
during the drag to indicate the new location. When the
button is released, the window is moved to the new location.
Title Bar The title bar includes the title area, the minimize button,
the maximize button, and the window menu button. In shaped
windows, such as round windows, the title bar floats above
the window.
Minimize Button
To turn the window into an icon, click button 1 on the
minimize button (the frame box with a small square in it).
Maximize Button
To make the window fill the screen (or enlarge to the
largest size allowed by the configuration files), click
button 1 on the maximize button (the frame box with a large
square in it).
Window Menu Button
The window menu button is the frame box with a horizontal
bar in it. To pull down the window menu, press and hold
button 1. Drag the pointer on the menu to your selection,
then release the button when your selection is highlighted.
Pressing button 3 in the title bar or resize border handles
also posts the window menu. Alternately, you can click
button 1 to pull down the menu and keep it posted; then
position the pointer and select. You can also post the
window menu by pressing <Shift> <Esc>. Double clicking
button 1 with the pointer on the window menu button closes
the window.
The following table lists the contents of the window menu.

stack.
Occupy Workspace...
Display the Occupy Workspace
dialog to change the workspaces
in which the window appears.
Occupy All Workspaces
Put the window in all
workspaces.
Unoccupy Workspace
Remove the window from the
current workspace if the window
is in more than one workspace.
Close Alt+F4
Causes client to terminate.
Resize Border Handles
To change the size of a window, move the pointer over a
resize border handle (the cursor changes), press button 1,
and drag the window to a new size. A rubber-band outline is
displayed to indicate the new window size. When the button
is released, the window is resized.
Matte An optional matte decoration can be added between the client
area and the window frame (see the matteWidth resource). A
matte is not actually part of the window frame. There is no
functionality associated with a matte.
Icons
Icons are small graphic representations of windows. A window can be
minimized using the minimize button on the window frame. Icons provide a
way to reduce clutter on the screen.
Pressing mouse button 1 when the pointer is over an icon causes the icon's
window menu to pop up. Releasing the button (press + release without
moving mouse = click) causes the menu to stay posted. The menu contains
the following selections:
Icon Window Menu

stack.
Close Alt+F4
Removes client from dtwm
management.
Pressing button 3 over an icon also causes the icon's window menu to pop
up. To make a menu selection, drag the pointer over the menu and release
button 3 when the desired item is highlighted.
Double clicking button 1 on an icon invokes the f.restore_and_raise
function and restores the icon's associated window to its previous state.
For example, if a maximized window is minimized, double clicking button 1
restores it to its maximized state. Double clicking button 1 on the icon
box's icon opens the icon box and allows access to the contained icons.
(In general, double clicking a mouse button is a quick way to perform a
function.) Pressing <Shift> <Esc> or <Menu> (the pop-up menu key) causes
the icon window menu of the currently selected icon to pop up.
Icon Box
When icons begin to clutter the screen, they can be packed into an icon
box. (To use an icon box, dtwm must be started with the icon box
configuration already set.) The icon box is a dtwm window that holds client
icons. It includes one or more scroll bars when there are more window
icons than the icon box can show at the same time.
Icons in the icon box can be manipulated with the mouse. The following
table summarizes the behavior of this interface. Button actions apply
whenever the pointer is on any part of the icon. Double clicking an icon
in the icon box invokes the f.restore_and_raise function.

To pull down the window menu for the icon box itself, press button 1 with
the pointer over the menu button for the icon box. The window menu of the
icon box differs from the window menu of a client window: The Close
selection is replaced with the "PackIcons Shift+Alt+F7" selection. When
selected, PackIcons packs the icons in the box to achieve neat rows with no
empty slots.
You can also post the window menu by pressing <Shift>, <Esc>. Pressing
<Menu> (the pop-up menu key) causes the icon window menu of the currently
selected icon to pop up.
Input Focus
The dtwm window manager supports (by default) a keyboard input focus policy
of explicit selection. This means when a window is selected to get
keyboard input, it continues to get keyboard input until the window is
withdrawn from window management, another window is explicitly selected to
get keyboard input, or the window is minimized. Several resources control
the input focus. The client window with the keyboard input focus has the
active window appearance with a visually distinct window frame.
The following tables summarize the keyboard input focus selection behavior:

[Alt][Tab]
Move input focus to next window
in window stack (available only
in explicit focus mode).
[Alt][Shift][Tab]
Move input focus to previous
window in window stack
(available only in explicit
focus mode).
Window Stacking
There are two types of window stacks: global window stacks and an
application's local family window stack.
The global stacking order of windows may be changed as a result of setting
the keyboard input focus, iconifying a window, or performing a window
manager window stacking function. When keyboard focus policy is explicit
the default value of the focusAutoRaise resource is True. This causes a
window to be raised to the top of the stack when it receives input focus,
for example, by pressing button 1 on the title bar. The key actions
defined in the previous table will thus raise the window receiving focus to
the top of the stack.
In pointer mode, the default value of focusAutoRaise is False; the window
stacking order is not changed when a window receives keyboard input focus.
The following key actions can be used to cycle through the global window
stack.
____________________________________________________
Key Action Function Description
____________________________________________________
[Alt][ESC]
Place top window on bottom of
stack.
[Alt][Shift][ESC]
Place bottom window on top of
stack.
By default, a window's icon is placed on the bottom of the stack when the
window is minimized; however, the default can be changed by the
lowerOnIconify resource.
Transient windows (secondary windows such a dialog boxes) stay above their
parent windows by default; however, an application's local family stacking
order may be changed to allow a transient window to be placed below its
parent top-level window. The following arguments show the modification of
the stacking order for the f.lower function.
f.lower Lowers the transient window within the family (staying above
the parent) and lowers the family in the global window
stack.
f.lower [within]
Lowers the transient window within the family (staying above
the parent) but does not lower the family in the global
window stack.
f.lower [freeFamily]
Lowers the window free from its family stack (below the
parent), but does not lower the family in the global window
stack.
The arguments within and freeFamily can also be used with f.raise and
f.raise_lower.
X Resources
The dtwm command is configured from its resource database. This database
is built from the following sources. They are listed in order of
precedence, low to high:
/usr/dt/app-defaults/$LANG/Dtwm
$HOME/Dtwm
RESOURCE_MANAGER root window property or $HOME/.Xdefaults
XENVIRONMENT variable or $HOME/.Xdefaults-host
dtwm command line options
The file names /usr/dt/app-defaults/$LANG/Dtwm and $HOME/Dtwm represent
customary locations for these files. The actual location of the system-
wide class resource file may depend on the XFILESEARCHPATH environment
variable and the current language environment. The actual location of the
user-specific class resource file may depend on the XUSERFILESEARCHPATH and
XAPPLRESDIR environment variables and the current language environment.
Entries in the resource database may refer to other resource files for
specific types of resources. These include files that contain bitmaps,
fonts, and dtwm specific resources such as menus and behavior
specifications (for example, button and key bindings).
Dtwm is the resource class name of dtwm and dtwm is the default resource
name used by dtwm to look up resources. the -screens command line option
specifies resource names, such as dtwm_b+w and dtwm_color.) In the
following discussion of resource specification, Dtwm and dtwm (and the
aliased dtwm resource names) can be used interchangeably, but dtwm takes
precedence over Dtwm.
The dtwm command uses the following types of resources:
Component Appearance Resources:
These resources specify appearance attributes of window
manager user interface components. They can be applied to
the appearance of window manager menus, feedback windows
(for example, the window reconfiguration feedback window),
client window frames, and icons.
General Appearance and Behavior Resources:
These resources specify dtwm appearance and behavior (for
example, window management policies). They are not set
separately for different dtwm user interface components.
They apply to all screens and workspaces.
Screen-Specific Appearance and Behavior Resources:
These resources specify the appearance and behavior of dtwm
elements that are settable on a per-screen basis.
Client-Specific Resources:
These dtwm resources can be set for a particular client
window or class of client windows. They specify client-
specific icon and client window frame appearance and
behavior.
Workspace-Specific Resources:
These resources specify the appearance of dtwm elements that
are settable on a per-workspace basis.
Resource identifiers can be either a resource name (for example,
foreground) or a resource class (for example, Foreground). If the value of
a resource is a filename and if the filename is prefixed by "~/", then it
is relative to the path contained in the HOME environment variable
(generally the user's home directory).
Component Appearance Resources
The syntax for specifying component appearance resources that apply to
window manager icons, menus, and client window frames is
Dtwm*resource_id.
For example, Dtwm*foreground is used to specify the foreground color for
dtwm menus, icons, client window frames, and feedback dialogs.
The syntax for specifying component appearance resources that apply to a
particular dtwm component is
Dtwm*[menu|icon|client|feedback]*resource_id
If menu is specified, the resource is applied only to dtwm menus; if icon
is specified, the resource is applied to icons; and if client is specified,
the resource is applied to client window frames. For example,
Dtwm*icon*foreground is used to specify the foreground color for dtwm
icons, Dtwm*menu*foreground specifies the foreground color for dtwm menus,
and Dtwm*client*foreground is used to specify the foreground color for dtwm
client window frames.
The appearance of the title area of a client window frame (including window
management buttons) can be separately configured. The syntax for
configuring the title area of a client window frame is
Dtwm*client*title*resource_id.
For example, Dtwm*client*title*foreground specifies the foreground color
for the title area. Defaults for title area resources are based on the
values of the corresponding client window frame resources.
The appearance of menus can be configured based on the name of the menu.
The syntax for specifying menu appearance by name is
Dtwm*menu*menu_name*resource_id
For example, Dtwm*menu*my_menu*foreground specifies the foreground color
for the menu named my_menu. The user can also specify resources for window
manager menu components; the gadgets that comprise the menu. These may
include, for example, a menu title, title separator, one or more buttons,
and separators. If a menu contains more than one instance of a class, such
as multiple PushButtonGadgets, the name of the first instance is
"PushButtonGadget1", the second is "PushButtonGadget2", and so on. The
following list identifies the naming convention used for window manager
menu components:
· Menu Title LabelGadget - TitleName
· Menu Title SeparatorGadget - TitleSeparator
· CascadeButtonGadget - CascadeButtonGadget<n>
· PushButtonGadget - PushButtonGadget<n>
· SeparatorGadget - SeparatorGadget<n>
Refer to the reference page for each class for a list of resources that can
be specified.
The following component appearance resources that apply to all window
manager parts can be specified:

background (class Background)
This resource specifies the background color. Any legal X
color may be specified. The default value is chosen based
on the visual type of the screen.
backgroundPixmap (class BackgroundPixmap)
This resource specifies the background Pixmap of the dtwm
decoration when the window is inactive (does not have the
keyboard focus). The default value is chosen based on the
visual type of the screen.
bottomShadowColor (class Foreground)
This resource specifies the bottom shadow color. This color
is used for the lower and right bevels of the window manager
decoration. Any legal X color may be specified. The
default value is chosen based on the visual type of the
screen.
bottomShadowPixmap (class BottomShadowPixmap)
This resource specifies the bottom shadow Pixmap. This
Pixmap is used for the lower and right bevels of the window
manager decoration. The default is chosen based on the
visual type of the screen.
fontList (class FontList)
This resource specifies the font used in the window manager
decoration. The character encoding of the font should match
the character encoding of the strings that are used. The
default is fixed.
foreground (class Foreground)
This resource specifies the foreground color. The default
is chosen based on the visual type of the screen.
saveUnder (class SaveUnder)
This is used to indicate whether save unders are used for
dtwm components. For this to have any effect, save unders
must be implemented by the X server. If save unders are
implemented, the X server saves the contents of windows
obscured by windows that have the save under attribute set.
If the saveUnder resource is True, dtwm will set the save
under attribute on the window manager frame of any client
that has it set. If saveUnder is False, save unders will
not be used on any window manager frames. The default value
is False.
topShadowColor (class Background)
This resource specifies the top shadow color. This color is
used for the upper and left bevels of the window manager
decoration. The default is chosen based on the visual type
of the screen.
topShadowPixmap ( class TopShadowPixmap)
This resource specifies the top shadow Pixmap. This Pixmap
is used for the upper and left bevels of the window manager
decoration. The default is chosen based on the visual type
of the screen.

autoKeyFocus (class AutoKeyFocus)
This resource is available only when the keyboard input
focus policy is explicit. If autoKeyFocus is given a value
of True, then when a window with the keyboard input focus is
withdrawn from window management or is minimized, the focus
is set to the previous window that had the focus. If the
value given is False, there is no automatic setting of the
keyboard input focus. It is recommended that both
autoKeyFocus and startupKeyFocus be True to work with tear
off menus. The default value is True.
autoRaiseDelay (class AutoRaiseDelay)
This resource is available only when the focusAutoRaise
resource is True and the keyboard focus policy is pointer.
The autoRaiseDelay resource specifies the amount of time (in
milliseconds) that dtwm will wait before raising a window
after it gets the keyboard focus. The default value of this
resource is 500 (ms).
bitmapDirectory (class BitmapDirectory)
This resource identifies a directory to be searched for
bitmaps referenced by dtwm resources. This directory is
searched if a bitmap is specified without an absolute
pathname. The default value for this resource is BR
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps . The directory
/usr/include/X11/bitmaps represents the customary locations
for this directory. The actual location of this directory
may vary on some systems. If the bitmap is not found in the
specified directory, XBMLANGPATH is searched.
clientAutoPlace (class ClientAutoPlace)
This resource determines the position of a window when the
window has not been given a program- or user-specified
position. With a value of True, windows are positioned with
the top left corners of the frames offset horizontally and
vertically. A value of False causes the currently
configured position of the window to be used. In either
case, dtwm will attempt to place the windows totally on-
screen. The default value is True.
colormapFocusPolicy (class ColormapFocusPolicy)
This resource indicates the colormap focus policy that is to
be used. If the resource value is explicit, a colormap
selection action is done on a client window to set the
colormap focus to that window. If the value is pointer, the
client window containing the pointer has the colormap focus.
If the value is keyboard, the client window that has the
keyboard input focus has the colormap focus. The default
value for this resource is keyboard.
configFile (class ConfigFile)
The resource value is the pathname for a dtwm resource
description file.
If the pathname begins with "~/", dtwm considers it to be
relative to the user's home directory (as specified by the
HOME environment variable). If the LANG environment
variable is set, dtwm looks for $HOME/$LANG/configFile. If
that file does not exist or if LANG is not set, dtwm looks
for $HOME/configFile.
If the configFile pathname does not begin with "~/" or "/",
dtwm considers it to be relative to the current working
directory.
If the configFile resource is not specified or if that file
does not exist, dtwm uses several default paths to find a
configuration file. The order of the search is shown below:
$HOME/.dt/$LANG/dtwmrc
$HOME/.dt/dtwmrc
/etc/dt/config/$LANG/sys.dtwmrc|-
/etc/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc|-
/usr/dt/config/$LANG/sys.dtwmrc|-
/usr/dt/config/sys.dtwmrc|-
Paths marked with '|-' are implementation dependent.
deiconifyKeyFocus (class DeiconifyKeyFocus)
This resource applies only when the keyboard input focus
policy is explicit. If a value of True is used, a window
receives the keyboard input focus when it is normalized
(regularized). True is the default value.
doubleClickTime (class DoubleClickTime)
This resource is used to set the maximum time (in ms)
between the clicks (button presses) that make up a double
click. The use of this resource is deprecated. Use the Xt
resource multiClickTime instead. The value of
doubleClickTime dynamically defaults to the value of
multiClickTime.
enableWarp (class EnableWarp)
The default value of this resource, True, causes dtwm to
warp the pointer to the center of the selected window during
keyboard-controlled resize and move operations. Setting the
value to False causes dtwm to leave the pointer at its
original place on the screen, unless the user explicitly
moves it with the cursor keys or pointing device.
enforceKeyFocus (class EnforceKeyFocus)
If this resource is given a value of True, the keyboard
input focus is always explicitly set to selected windows
even if there is an indication that they are "globally
active" input windows. (An example of a globally active
window is a scroll bar that can be operated without setting
the focus to that client.) If the resource is False, the
keyboard input focus is not explicitly set to globally
active windows. The default value is True.
frameStyle (class frameStyle)
If this resource is given a value of slab, the window
manager frame is drawn such that the client area appears to
be at the same height as the top of the window frame. If
the resource is set to "recessed", the window frame is drawn
such that the client area appears lower than the top of the
window frame. The default value is recessed.
iconAutoPlace (class IconAutoPlace)
This resource indicates whether the window manager arranges
icons in a particular area of the screen or places each icon
where the window was when it was minimized. The value True
indicates that icons are arranged in a particular area of
the screen, determined by the iconPlacement resource. The
value False indicates that an icon is placed at the location
of the window when it is minimized. The default is True.
iconClick (class IconClick)
When this resource is given the value of True, the system
menu is posted and left posted when an icon is clicked. The
default value is True.
interactivePlacement (class InteractivePlacement)
This resource controls the initial placement of new windows
on the screen. If the value is True, the pointer shape
changes before a new window is placed on the screen to
indicate to the user that a position should be selected for
the upper-left hand corner of the window. If the value is
False, windows are placed according to the initial window
configuration attributes. The default value of this
resource is False.
keyboardFocusPolicy (class KeyboardFocusPolicy)
If set to pointer, the keyboard focus policy is to have the
keyboard focus set to the client window that contains the
pointer (the pointer could also be in the client window
decoration that dtwm adds). If set to explicit, the policy
is to have the keyboard focus set to a client window when
the user presses button 1 with the pointer on the client
window or any part of the associated dtwm decoration. The
default value for this resource is explicit.
lowerOnIconify (class LowerOnIconify)
If this resource is given the default value of True, a
window's icon appears on the bottom of the window stack when
the window is minimized. A value of False places the icon
in the stacking order at the same place as its associated
window. The default value of this resource is True.
marqueeSelectGranularity (class MarqueeSelectGranularity)
This resource determines how often changes in the marquee
selection are reported to the file manager (dtfile(1)). The
marquee selection is used to select file manager items that
have been placed onto the desktop. The value of this
resource is the number of pixels the pointer must move
either horizontally or vertically before another report is
made to the file manager. A value of 0 (zero) means report
every motion of the pointer. The default value of this
resource is 0.
moveThreshold (class MoveThreshold)
This resource is used to control the sensitivity of dragging
operations that move windows and icons. The value of this
resource is the number of pixels that the locator is moved
with a button down before the move operation is initiated.
This is used to prevent window or icon movement when you
click or double click and there is unintentional pointer
movement with the button down. The default value of this
resource is 4 (pixels).
multiScreen (class MultiScreen)
This resource, if True, causes dtwm to manage all the
screens on the display. If False, dtwm manages only a
single screen. The default value is True.
passButtons (class PassButtons)
This resource indicates whether or not button press events
are passed to clients after they are used to do a window
manager function in the client context. If the resource
value is False, the button press is not passed to the
client. If the value is True, the button press is passed to
the client window. The window manager function is done in
either case. The default value for this resource is False.
passSelectButton (class PassSelectButton)
This resource indicates whether or not to pass the select
button press events to clients after they are used to do a
window manager function in the client context. If the
resource value is False, then the button press will not be
passed to the client. If the value is True, the button
press is passed to the client window. The window manager
function is done in either case. The default value for this
resource is True.
positionIsFrame (class PositionIsFrame)
This resource indicates how client window position
information (from the WM_NORMAL_HINTS property and from
configuration requests) is to be interpreted. If the
resource value is True, the information is interpreted as
the position of the dtwm client window frame. If the value
is False, it is interpreted as being the position of the
client area of the window. The default value of this
resource is True.
positionOnScreen (class PositionOnScreen)
This resource is used to indicate that windows should
initially be placed (if possible) so that they are not
clipped by the edge of the screen (if the resource value is
True). If a window is larger than the size of the screen,
at least the upper-left corner of the window is on-screen.
If the resource value is False, windows are placed in the
requested position even if totally off-screen. The default
value of this resource is True.
quitTimeout (class QuitTimeout)
This resource specifies the amount of time (in milliseconds)
that dtwm will wait for a client to update the WM_COMMAND
property after dtwm has sent the WM_SAVE_YOURSELF message.
The default value of this resource is 1000 (ms). (Refer to
the f.kill function description for additional information.)
raiseKeyFocus (class RaiseKeyFocus)
This resource is available only when the keyboard input
focus policy is explicit. When set to True, this resource
specifies that a window raised by means of the
f.normalize_and_raise function also receives the input
focus. The default value of this resource is False.
refreshByClearing (class RefreshByClearing)
This resource determines the mechanism used to refresh a
window (or the screen) when the f.refresh_win (f.refresh)
function is executed. When set to True, an XClearArea is
performed over the window for f.refresh_win. When set to
False, a covering window is created and destroyed over the
top of the window to be refreshed. If the function is
f.refresh and this resource is set to True, then an
XClearArea is performed over every window on the screen. If
the resource is set to False, then one large window covering
the entire screen is created and destroyed. The default
value of this resource is True.
rootButtonClick (class RootButtonClick)
The rootButtonClick resource controls whether the a click on
the root window will post the root menu in a sticky mode.
If this resource is set to True, a button click on the root
window will post the menu bound to the button down event for
that button in a sticky fashion. If this resource is set to
False, then the same button click would only cause the menu
to flash as it would be unposted once the button up event is
seen. The criterion used to determine if it is a button
click is if the pointer does not move between the button
down and button up events. The default value for this
resource is True.
screens (class Screens)
This resource specifies the resource names to use for the
screens managed by dtwm. If dtwm is managing a single
screen, only the first name in the list is used. If dtwm is
managing multiple screens, the names are assigned to the
screens in order, starting with screen 0. Screen 0 gets the
first name, screen 1 the second name, and so on. The
default screen names are 0, 1, and so on.
showFeedback (class ShowFeedback)
This resource controls whether or not feedback windows or
confirmation dialogs are displayed. A feedback window shows
a client window's initial placement and shows position and
size during move and resize operations. Confirmation
dialogs can be displayed for certain operations.
The value for this resource is a list of names of the
feedback options to be enabled or disabled; the names must
be separated by a space. If an option is preceded by a
minus sign, that option is excluded from the list. The sign
of the first item in the list determines the initial set of
options. If the sign of the first option is minus, dtwm
assumes all options are present and starts subtracting from
that set. If the sign of the first decoration is plus (or
not specified), dtwm starts with no options and builds up a
list from the resource.
The names of the feedback options are shown below:
____________________________________________
Name Description
____________________________________________
all
Show all feedback (Default
value).
behavior
Confirm behavior switch.
kill
Confirm on receipt of KILL
signal.
move
Show position during move.
none
Show no feedback.
placement
Show position and size during
initial placement.
quit
Confirm quitting dtwm.
resize
Show size during resize.
restart
Confirm dtwm restart.
The following command line illustrates the syntax for showFeedback:
Dtwm*showFeedback: placement resize behavior restart
This resource specification provides feedback for initial client placement
and resize, and enables the dialog boxes to confirm the restart and set
behavior functions. It disables feedback for the move function. The
default value for this resource is all.
useFrontPanel (class UseFrontPanel)
This resource enables the display of the front panel if
True. If set to False, the Front Panel will not be
displayed. The default value is True.
startupKeyFocus (class StartupKeyFocus)
This resource is available only when the keyboard input
focus policy is explicit. When given the default value of
True, a window gets the keyboard input focus when the window
is mapped (initially managed by the window manager). It is
recommended that both autoKeyFocus and startupKeyFocus be
True to work with tear off menus. The default value is
True.
wMenuButtonClick (class WMenuButtonClick)
This resource indicates whether a click of the mouse when
the pointer is over the window menu button posts and leaves
posted the window menu. If the value given this resource is
True, the menu remains posted. True is the default value
for this resource.
wMenuButtonClick2 (class WMenuButtonClick2)
When this resource is given the default value of True, a
double click action on the window menu button does an f.kill
function.
Screen-Specific Appearance and Behavior Resources
The syntax for specifying screen-specific resources is
Dtwm*screen_name*resource_id
For example, Dtwm*1*keyBindings specifies the key bindings to use for
screen 1.

buttonBindings (class ButtonBindings)
This resource identifies the set of button bindings for
window management functions. The named set of button
bindings is specified in the dtwm resource description file.
These button bindings are merged with the built-in default
bindings. The default value for this resource is
DefaultButtonBindings.
cleanText (class CleanText)
This resource controls the display of window manager text in
the client title and feedback windows. If the default value
of True is used, the text is drawn with a clear (no stipple)
background. This makes text easier to read on monochrome
systems where a backgroundPixmap is specified. Only the
stippling in the area immediately around the text is
cleared. If False, the text is drawn directly on top of the
existing background.
fadeNormalIcon (class FadeNormalIcon)
If this resource is given a value of True, an icon is grayed
out whenever it has been normalized (its window has been
opened). The default value is False.
feedbackGeometry (class FeedbackGeometry)
This resource sets the position of the move and resize
feedback window. If this resource is not specified, the
default is to place the feedback window at the center of the
screen. The value of the resource is a standard window
geometry string with the following syntax:
[=]{+-}xoffset{+-}yoffset]
frameBorderWidth (class FrameBorderWidth)
This resource specifies the width (in pixels) of a client
window frame border without resize handles. The border
width includes the 3-D shadows. The default value is based
on the size and resolution of the screen.
iconBoxGeometry (class IconBoxGeometry)
This resource indicates the initial position and size of the
icon box. The value of the resource is a standard window
geometry string with the following syntax:
[=][widthxheight][{+-}xoffset{+-}yoffset]
If the offsets are not provided, the iconPlacement policy is
used to determine the initial placement. The units for
width and height are columns and rows.
The actual screen size of the icon box window depends on the
iconImageMaximum (size) and iconDecoration resources. The
default value for size is (6 * iconWidth + padding) wide by
(1 * iconHeight + padding) high. The default value of the
location is +0 -0.
iconBoxName (class IconBoxName)
This resource specifies the name that is used to look up
icon box resources. The default name is iconbox.
iconBoxSBDisplayPolicy (class IconBoxSBDisplayPolicy)
This resource specifies the scroll bar display policy of the
window manager in the icon box. The resource has three
possible values: all, vertical, and horizontal. The
default value, all, causes both vertical and horizontal
scroll bars always to appear. The value vertical causes a
single vertical scroll bar to appear in the icon box and
sets the orientation of the icon box to horizontal
(regardless of the iconBoxGeometry specification). The
value horizontal causes a single horizontal scroll bar to
appear in the icon box and sets the orientation of the icon
box to vertical (regardless of the iconBoxGeometry
specification).
iconBoxTitle (class IconBoxTitle)
This resource specifies the name that is used in the title
area of the icon box frame. The default value is Icons.
iconDecoration (class IconDecoration)
This resource specifies the general icon decoration. The
resource value is label (only the label part is displayed)
or image (only the image part is displayed) or label image
(both the label and image parts are displayed). A value of
activelabel can also be specified to get a label (not
truncated to the width of the icon) when the icon is
selected. The default icon decoration for icon box icons is
that each icon has a label part and an image part (label
image). The default icon decoration for stand alone icons
is that each icon has an active label part, a label part,
and an image part (activelabel label image).
iconImageMaximum (class IconImageMaximum)
This resource specifies the maximum size of the icon image.
The resource value is widthxheight (for example, 64x64).
The maximum supported size is 128x128. The default value of
this resource is 48x48. If you want to change this value
from the dtwm default to the mwm default of 50x50, set
Dtwm*iconImageMaximum to 50x50.
·
For individual user default, modify the $HOME/.Xdefaults
file.
·
For system-wide default, modify the /usr/dt/app-
defaults/C/Dtwm file. You must have root privileges to
modify the system default.
iconImageMinimum (class IconImageMinimum)
This resource specifies the minimum size of the icon image.
The resource value is widthxheight (for example, 32x50).
The minimum supported size is 16x16. The default value of
this resource is 16x16.
iconPlacement (class IconPlacement)
This resource specifies the icon placement scheme to be
used. The resource value has the following syntax:
primary_layout secondary_layout [tight]
The layout values are one of the following:
_________________________________________
Value Description
_________________________________________
top
Lay the icons out top to bottom.
bottom
Lay the icons out bottom to top.
left
Lay the icons out left to right.
right
Lay the icons out right to left.
A horizontal (vertical) layout value should not be used for
both the primary_layout and the secondary_layout (for
example, do not use top for the primary_layout and bottom
for the secondary_layout).
The primary_layout indicates whether, when an icon placement is done, the
icon is placed in a row or a column and the direction of placement. The
secondary_layout indicates where to place new rows or columns. For
example, top right indicates that icons should be placed top to bottom on
the screen and that columns should be added from right to left on the
screen.
The default placement is left bottom (icons are placed left to right on the
screen, with the first row on the bottom of the screen, and new rows added
from the bottom of the screen to the top of the screen). A tight value
places icons with zero spacing in between icons. This value is useful for
aesthetic reasons, as well as X-terminals with small screens.
iconPlacementMargin (class IconPlacementMargin)
This resource sets the distance between the edge of the
screen and the icons that are placed along the edge of the
screen. The value should be greater than or equal to 0. A
default value (see below) is used if the value specified is
invalid. The default value for this resource is equal to
the space between icons as they are placed on the screen
(this space is based on maximizing the number of icons in
each row and column).
keyBindings (class KeyBindings)
This resource identifies the set of key bindings for window
management functions. If specified, these key bindings
replace the built-in default bindings. The named set of key
bindings is specified in dtwm resource description file.
The default value for this resource is DefaultKeyBindings.
limitResize (class LimitResize)
If this resource is True, the user is not allowed to resize
a window to greater than the maximum size. The default
value for this resource is True.
maximumMaximumSize (class MaximumMaximumSize)
This resource is used to limit the maximum size of a client
window as set by the user or client. The resource value is
widthxheight (for example, 1024x1024) where the width and
height are in pixels. The default value of this resource is
twice the screen width and height.
moveOpaque (class MoveOpaque)
This resource controls whether the actual window is moved or
a rectangular outline of the window is moved. A default
value of False displays a rectangular outline on moves.
resizeBorderWidth (class ResizeBorderWidth)
This resource specifies the width (in pixels) of a client
window frame border with resize handles. The specified
border width includes the 3-D shadows. The default value is
based on the size and resolution of the screen.
resizeCursors (class ResizeCursors)
This is used to indicate whether the resize cursors are
always displayed when the pointer is in the window size
border. If True, the cursors are shown, otherwise the
window manager cursor is shown. The default value is True.
transientDecoration (class TransientDecoration)
This controls the amount of decoration that dtwm puts on
transient windows. The decoration specification is exactly
the same as for the clientDecoration (client-specific)
resource. Transient windows are identified by the
WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property, which is added by the client to
indicate a relatively temporary window. The default value
for this resource is menu title (transient windows have
frame borders and a titlebar with a window menu button).
An application can also specify which decorations dtwm
should apply to its windows. If it does so, dtwm applies
only those decorations indicated by both the application and
the transientDecoration resource. Otherwise, dtwm applies
the decorations indicated by the transientDecoration
resource. For more information see the description of
XmNmwmDecorations on the VendorShell(3X) reference page.
transientFunctions (class TransientFunctions)
This resource is used to indicate which window management
functions are applicable (or not applicable) to transient
windows. The function specification is exactly the same as
for the clientFunctions (client-specific) resource. The
default value for this resource is -minimize -maximize.
An application can also specify which functions dtwm should
apply to its windows. If it does so, dtwm applies only
those functions indicated by both the application and the
transientFunctions resource. Otherwise, dtwm applies the
functions indicated by the transientFunctions resource. For
more information see the description of XmNmwmFunctions on
the VendorShell(3X) reference page.
useIconBox (class UseIconBox)
If this resource is given a value of True, icons are placed
in an icon box. When an icon box is not used, the icons are
placed on the root window (default value).
workspaceCount (class WorkspaceCount)
This is the initial number of workspaces that dtwm creates
when starting up. In the CDE, this resource should only
appear in an applications defaults files. This resource is
saved as part of a user's session when dtwm shuts down. The
user may add or delete workspaces dynamically from the front
panel during the session and this resource records the
number of workspaces for the session.
The default value of this resource is 1.
Client-Specific Resources
The syntax for specifying client-specific resources is
Dtwm*client_name_or_class*resource_id.
For example, Dtwm*mterm*windowMenu is used to specify the window menu to be
used with mterm clients. The syntax for specifying client-specific
resources for all classes of clients is
Dtwm*resource_id
Specific client specifications take precedence over the specifications for
all clients. For example, Dtwm*windowMenu is used to specify the window
menu to be used for all classes of clients that do not have a window menu
specified.
The syntax for specifying resource values for windows that have an unknown
name and class (windows that do not have a WM_CLASS property associated
with them) is
Dtwm*defaults*resource_id
For example, Dtwm*defaults*iconImage is used to specify the icon image to
be used for windows that have an unknown name and class.
The following client-specific resources can be specified:

clientDecoration (class ClientDecoration)
This resource controls the amount of window frame
decoration. The resource is specified as a list of
decorations to specify their inclusion in the frame. If a
decoration is preceded by a minus sign, that decoration is
excluded from the frame. The sign of the first item in the
list determines the initial amount of decoration. If the
sign of the first decoration is minus, dtwm assumes all
decorations are present and starts subtracting from that
set. If the sign of the first decoration is plus (or not
specified), then dtwm starts with no decoration and builds
up a list from the resource.
An application can also specify which decorations dtwm
should apply to its windows. If it does so, dtwm applies
only those decorations indicated by both the application and
the clientDecoration resource. Otherwise, dtwm applies the
decorations indicated by the clientDecoration resource. For
more information see the description of XmNmwmDecorations on
the VendorShell(3X) reference page.
___________________________________________
Name Description
___________________________________________
all

minimize
Minimize button (includes title
bar).
none
No decorations.
resizeh
Border resize handles (includes
border).
menu
Window menu button (includes
title bar).
title
Title bar (includes border).
Examples:
Dtwm*XClock.clientDecoration: -resizeh -maximize
This removes the resize handles and maximize button from XClock windows.
Dtwm*XClock.clientDecoration: menu minimize border
This does the same thing as above. Either menu or minimize implies title.
clientFunctions (class ClientFunctions)
This resource is used to indicate which dtwm functions are
applicable (or not applicable) to the client window. The
value for the resource is a list of functions. If the first
function in the list has a minus sign in front of it, then
dtwm starts with all functions and subtracts from that set.
If the first function in the list has a plus sign in front
of it, then dtwm starts with no functions and builds up a
list. Each function in the list must be preceded by the
appropriate plus or minus sign and separated from the next
function by a space.
An application can also specify which functions dtwm should
apply to its windows. If it does so, dtwm applies only
those functions indicated by both the application and the
clientFunctions resource. Otherwise, dtwm applies the
functions indicated by the clientFunctions resource. For
more information see the description of XmNmwmFunctions on
the VendorShell(3X) reference page.

focusAutoRaise (class FocusAutoRaise)
When the value of this resource is True, clients are raised
when they get the keyboard input focus. If the value is
False, the stacking of windows on the display is not changed
when a window gets the keyboard input focus. The default
value is True when the keyboardFocusPolicy is explicit and
False when the keyboardFocusPolicy is pointer.
iconImage (class IconImage)
This resource can be used to specify an icon image for a
client (for example, Dtwm*myclock*iconImage). The resource
value is a pathname for a pixmap or bitmap file. The value
of the (client-specific) useClientIcon resource is used to
determine whether or not user supplied icon images are used
instead of client supplied icon images. The default value
is to display a built-in window manager icon image.
iconImageBackground (class Background)
This resource specifies the background color of the icon
image that is displayed in the image part of an icon. The
default value of this resource is the icon background color
(specified by Dtwm*background or twm*icon*background).
iconImageBottomShadowColor (class Foreground)
This resource specifies the bottom shadow color of the icon
image that is displayed in the image part of an icon. The
default value of this resource is the icon bottom shadow
color (specified by Dtwm*icon*bottomShadowColor).
iconImageBottomShadowPixmap (class BottomShadowPixmap)

image that is displayed in the image part of an icon. The
default value of this resource varies depending on the icon
background.
iconImageTopShadowColor (class Background)
This resource specifies the top shadow color of the icon
image that is displayed in the image part of an icon. The
default value of this resource is the icon top shadow color
(specified by Dtwm*icon*topShadowColor).
iconImageTopShadowPixmap (class TopShadowPixmap)
This resource specifies the top shadow Pixmap of the icon
image that is displayed in the image part of an icon. The
default value of this resource is the icon top shadow pixmap
(specified by Dtwm*icon*topShadowPixmap).
matteBackground (class Background)
This resource specifies the background color of the matte,
when matteWidth is positive. The default value of this
resource is the client background color (specified by
Dtwm*background or Dtwm*client*background).
matteBottomShadowColor (class Foreground)
This resource specifies the bottom shadow color of the
matte, when matteWidth is positive. The default value of
this resource is the client bottom shadow color (specified
by Dtwm*bottomShadowColor or Dtwm*client*bottomShadowColor).
matteBottomShadowPixmap (class BottomShadowPixmap)
This resource specifies the bottom shadow Pixmap of the
matte, when matteWidth is positive. The default value of
this resource is the client bottom shadow pixmap (specified
by Dtwm*bottomShadowPixmap or
Dtwm*client*bottomShadowPixmap).
matteForeground (class Foreground)
This resource specifies the foreground color of the matte,
when matteWidth is positive. The default value of this
resource is the client foreground color (specified by
Dtwm*foreground or Dtwm*client*foreground).
matteTopShadowColor (class Background)
This resource specifies the top shadow color of the matte,
when matteWidth is positive. The default value of this
resource is the client top shadow color (specified by
Dtwm*topShadowColor or Dtwm*client*topShadowColor).
matteTopShadowPixmap (class TopShadowPixmap)
This resource specifies the top shadow pixmap of the matte,
when matteWidth is positive. The default value of this
resource is the client top shadow pixmap (specified by
Dtwm*topShadowPixmap or Dtwm*client*topShadowPixmap).
matteWidth (class MatteWidth)
This resource specifies the width of the optional matte.
The default value is 0, which effectively disables the
matte.
maximumClientSize (class MaximumClientSize)
This resource is either a size specification or a direction
that indicates how a client window is to be maximized. The
resource value can be specified as a size specification
widthxheight. The width and height are interpreted in the
units that the client uses (for example, for terminal
emulators this is generally characters). Alternately,
vertical or horizontal can be specified to indicate the
direction in which the client maximizes.
If this resource is not specified, the maximum size from the
WM_NORMAL_HINTS property is used if set. Otherwise the
default value is the size where the client window with
window management borders fills the screen. When the
maximum client size is not determined by the
maximumClientSize resource, the maximumMaximumSize resource
value is used as a constraint on the maximum size.
useClientIcon (class UseClientIcon)
If the value given for this resource is True, a client-
supplied icon image takes precedence over a user-supplied
icon image. The default value is True, giving the client-
supplied icon image higher precedence than the user-supplied
icon image.
usePPosition (class UsePPosition)
This resource specifies whether Dtwm honors program
specified position PPosition specified in the
WM_NORMAL_HINTS property in the absence of an user specified
position. Setting this resource to on, causes dtwm to
always honor program specified position. Setting this
resource to off, causes dtwm to always ignore program
specified position. Setting this resource to the default
value of nonzero cause dtwm to honor program specified
position other than (0,0).
windowMenu (class WindowMenu)
This resource indicates the name of the menu pane that is
posted when the window menu is popped up (usually by
pressing button 1 on the window menu button on the client
window frame). Menu panes are specified in the dtwm
resource description file. Window menus can be customized
on a client class basis by creating custom menus in your
dtwmrc file (see dtwmrc(4) and specifying resources to
activate the custom menus. The resources have the form
Dtwm*client_name_or_class*windowMenu. The default value of
this resource is DefaultWindowMenu.
Workspace-Specific Resources
The only workspace-specific resource is the title of the workspace, as seen
in the label on the workspace button in the front panel. This should only
be set in a application defaults file as the resource will be
programmatically altered when the user changes the workspace title via the
front panel.
The syntax for workspace resources is:
Dtwm[*screen_name]*workspace_name*resource_id
For example, Dtwm*0*ws1*title is used to specify the title to be used in
workspace "ws1" on screen "0".
Workspace-Specific Resources

Name Class Value Type Default

title Title string
workspace name.
title (class Title)
This resource specifies the user-visible title of the
workspace. This is different from the name of the workspace
that is generated programmatically and used to fetch X
resources. The title is separate from the name so that it
can contain localized (that is, non-ASCII) characters. The
default value for the title is the same as the workspace
name.
Backdrop Resources
The backdrop resources may be set on a per-workspace basis. These
resources set the backdrop image and colors (for a bitmap backdrop) to be
used for a workspace.
The syntax for backdrop resources is:
Dtwm[*screen_name][*workspace_name]*backdrop*resource_id
For example, Dtwm*0*ws1*backdrop*image is used to specify the backdrop for
workspace "ws1" on screen "0".
Backdrop files are found in the same places as other bitmap and pixmap
files used by dtwm (see the ENVIRONMENT heading in this reference page).
Personal backdrop files can be placed in $HOME/.dt/backdrops.
The following resources may be used to configure backdrops. Usually, users
do not set these resources directly. Most of the resources default
dynamically depending on the display type. The initial value of the
backdrop image resource is obtained from an application defaults file. The
backdrop image resource is programmatically altered through interaction
with the style manager (dtstyle) and saved as part of a user's session.
CAUTION:
Setting these resources directly interferes with the style manager's
dynamic configuration.

colorSetId (class ColorSetId)
This resource specifies a color set to use for the backdrop.
This is usually an integer from 1 to 8. The default value
of this resource is display dependent.
image (class Image)
This resource specifies an image to use as the backdrop. If
none is specified, then no backdrop image will be displayed
and the root window of the screen will show through. Either
a bitmap (extension .bm) or a pixmap (extension .pm) file
may be specified. If the image is specified without an
extension, then a match will be attempted on a .bm or .pm
file in an order that is dependent on the search path used
by XmGetPixmap(3X).
The default value for this resource is none.
imageBackground (class ImageBackground)
This resource specifies a color to use as the background
color of the backdrop. If not specified, the color will
default to a pixel value from the colorSetId for this
workspace. If this resource is specified, the pixel value
will not be dynamically customizable by the style manager
dtstyle. The default value for this resource is the bottom
shadow color of the color set for this workspace or the
background color for bitonal displays.
imageForeground (class ImageForeground)
This resource specifies a color to use as the foreground
color of the backdrop. If not specified, the color will
default to a pixel value from the colorSetId for this
workspace. If this resource is specified, the pixel value
will not be dynamically customizable by the style manager
dtstyle. The default value for this resource is the
background color of the color set for this workspace or the
foreground color for bitonal displays.
Resource Description File
The dtwm resource description file is a supplementary resource file that
contains resource descriptions that are referred to by entries in the
resource manager property (see xrdb(1X) and the defaults files (.Xdefaults,
app-defaults/Dtwm). It contains descriptions of resources that are to be
used by dtwm, and that cannot be easily encoded in the defaults files (a
bitmap file is an analogous type of resource description file). A
particular dtwm resource description file can be selected using the
configFile resource.
The following types of resources can be described in the dtwm resource
description file:
Buttons Window manager functions can be bound (associated) with
button events.
Keys Window manager functions can be bound (associated) with key
press events.
Menus Menu panes can be used for the window menu and other menus
posted with key bindings and button bindings.
The dtwm resource description file is described in
dtwmrc(4).
Environment
The dtwm window manager uses the environment variable HOME specifying the
user's home directory.
The dtwm window manager uses the environment variable LANG specifying the
user's choice of language for the dtwm message catalog and the dtwm
resource description file.
The dtwm window uses the environment variable XFILESEARCHPATH,
XUSERFILESEARCHPATH, XAPPLRESDIR, XENVIRONMENT, LANG, and HOME in
determining search paths for resource defaults files. The dtwm window
manager may also us XBMLANGPATH to search for bitmap files.
The dtwm window manager uses DTAPPSEARCHPATH to search for application
configuration information. DTDATABASESEARCHPATH is used to search for
action database definitions and front panel (*.fp) files. Help files are
located with the use of DTHELPSEARCHPATH. DTICONSEARCHPATH and
DTICONBMSEARCHPATH are used to locate bitmap and pixmap files.
The dtwm window manager reads the $HOME/.motifbind file if it exists to
install a virtual key bindings property on the root window. For more
information on the content of the .motifbind file, see VirtualBindings(3X).
The dtwm window manager uses the environment variable MWMSHELL (or SHELL,
MWMSHELL is not set), specifying the shell to use when executing commands
via the f.exec function.
