- I'm using OLIT v3 as shipped with Sun's OpenWindows v3 software on a SPARC.
-
- I haven't been able to locate much documentation on OLIT v3. I just recompiled
- and loaded a client program against OLIT v3. It had been using OLIT v2 in the
- past. There are a couple of annoyances in running the new program.
-
- The resource 'inputFocusColor' default of 'red' is being used on objects like
- OblongButton and ScrollingList types. Have the red highlight is rather
- distracting and not particularly useful (it seems to me). How do I disable it?
- Can I set some resource or callback on a widget to say that I don't want the
- 'inputFocus'? Do I have to resort to inquiring the background color and
- setting inputFocusColor to that?
-
- I get warnings when I run the program without an OPENWINHOME set that points
- to an OpenWindows v3 directory. It complains about not being able to find the
- lib/Xol/scale.map file. I need to be able to run this program on X11R4, X11R5
- and OpenWindows v2 servers. Can I disable that? What effect would it have on
- the program? I've noticed a 'scaleMap' resource...can I set that to /dev/null?
- Would it be legal to package the scaleMap file along with whatever other files
- it needs into a program to send to others?
-
- I've noticed the difference in the WinAttr structure. That problem has a
- backwards-compatibility hack to allow it to run on both OW2 and OW3 (i.e.
- setting the resource '*UseShortOLWinAttr: true'). Will setting that resource
- have any ill effects when being run against an OW2 version of olwm?
-
- Thanx for any help!
