Resources for configuring the icon box

The following resources configure the icon box:

Icon box resources

Name Class Value type Default
fadeNormalIcon FadeNormalIcon true/false false
iconBoxGeometry IconBoxGeometry [columnsxrows][±xoff±yoff] 1x6-0-0
iconBoxName IconBoxName string iconbox
iconBoxTitle IconBoxTitle string Icons
useIconBox UseIconBox true/false false

These resources are described in more detail below:

fadeNormalIcon (Class: FadeNormalIcon)
If this resource is ``true,'' the window manager grays out an icon that has been normalized. The useIconBox resource must be set to ``true'', for this resource to function. The default setting is ``false'', in which case the appearance of an icon is normal. (This is a specific appearance and behavior resource.)

iconBoxGeometry (Class: IconBoxGeometry)
This resource is a geometry specification for the icon box. The resource takes the value [columnsxrows][±xoff±yoff], where columns and rows represent the size of the icon box, in icons, and ±xoff and ±yoff represent the x and y coordinates of the window. For example, if you specify the value of ``4x3+0-0,'' the window manager creates a box large enough to hold three rows of four icons across and positions the box at the lower left corner of the screen. The default value for this resource is ``1x6-0-0.'' (This is a specific appearance and behavior resource.)

iconBoxName (Class: IconBoxName)
This resource specifies the name that is used to set resources for the icon box. The default name is ``iconbox.'' If you specify a new value for this resource, the window manager ignores any resources that use the name ``iconbox.'' (This is a specific appearance and behavior resource.)

iconBoxTitle (Class: IconBoxTitle)
This resource specifies a string that is displayed in the title of the icon box. The default name is ``Icons.'' (This is a specific appearance and behavior resource.)

useIconBox (Class: UseIconBox)
If this resource is ``true,'' the window manager places all icons in an icon box. If this resource is ``false,'' the window manager places the icons on the Desktop, or, if the Desktop is not running or is running in a window, on the Root window. The default value is ``false.'' (This is a specific appearance and behavior resource.)
