OSF/Motif window manager resources

Resources for window decorations

The following resources are used to declare applicable functions and decoration elements for a client:

Window decoration resources

Value

Name Class type Default

clientDecoration ClientDecoration string all

clientFunctions ClientFunctions string all

transientDecoration TransientDecoration string title border resizeh

transientFunctions TransientFunctions string move resize

These resources are described in more detail below:

		Value
Name	Class	type	Default
clientDecoration	ClientDecoration	string	all
clientFunctions	ClientFunctions	string	all
transientDecoration	TransientDecoration	string	title border resizeh
transientFunctions	TransientFunctions	string	move resize

clientDecoration (Class: ClientDecoration)
This resource specifies the amount of decoration (buttons and frames) that the window manager applies to a client's top-level window. The value of this resource is a combination of one or more of the following names:

``all'' includes all decorations listed below.
``border'' displays the window border.
``maximize'' adds the maximize button, including the title bar.
``menu'' displays the Window menu button, including the title bar.
``minimize'' adds the minimize button, including the title bar.
``resizeh'' shows the border with resize handles.
``none'' suppresses all decoration.
``title'' adds the title bar and a border to the window.

The default for the clientDecoration resource is ``all.'' You specify new values for this resource in two ways:

Enable selected decorations. For example, if you want the xclock client's window to have a title bar with a Window menu and a resizable border only:
```
   Pmwm*XClock*clientDecoration: menu resizeh
```
Disable selected decorations. The syntax requires a minus sign to precede the first value. For example, if you want all the decorations except the maximize and minimize buttons, you would specify:
```
   Pmwm*XClock*clientDecoration: -maximize minimize
```

(This is a client-specific resource.)

clientFunctions (Class: ClientFunctions)
This resource specifies which of the window manager functions apply to a client's top-level window. (See ``Using window manager functions'' for more information.) The value of this resource is a combination of one or more of the following names:

``all'' includes all functions listed below.
``close'' refers to the f.kill function.
``maximize'' refers to the f.maximize function.
``minimize'' refers to the f.minimize function.
``move'' refers to the f.move function.
``none'' suppresses invocation of all functions.
``resize'' refers to the f.resize function.

The default for the clientFunctions resource is ``all.'' You specify new values for this resource in two ways:

Enable selected functions. For example, if you want to invoke only the f.move and f.resize functions on the xclock window, you can set this resource as follows:
```
   pmwm*xclock*clientFunctions: move resize
```
Disable selected functions. The syntax requires a minus sign to precede the first value. For example, if you want to apply all functions except f.maximize and f.minimize, you would specify:
```
   pmwm*xclock*clientFunctions: -maximize minimize
```

Note that if you disable functions that are used by Root and Window menu options, or by window manager button and key bindings, the affected menu options are removed from menus and the affected button and key bindings no longer work.

(This is a client-specific resource.)

transientDecoration (Class: TransientDecoration)
This resource controls the amount of decoration that the window manager places around a transient (temporary) window, identified by the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property on the window. The syntax for specifying this resource is the same as that for the clientDecoration resource. The default value for this resource is ``title border resizeh,'' which means that transient windows appear with a title bar (without the Window menu button, minimize button and maximize button), a window border, and resize handles. (This is a specific appearance and behavior resource.)

transientFunctions (Class: TransientFunctions)
This resource specifies the window manager functions that the window manager allows for a transient (temporary) window, identified by the WM_TRANSIENT_FOR property on the window. The syntax for specifying this resource is the same as that for the clientFunctions resource. The default value for this resource is ``move resize,'' which means that the window manager applies the functions f.move and f.resize to transient windows. (See ``Using window manager functions'' for more information.) (This is a specific appearance and behavior resource.)
