- From /usr/lib/X11/vue/Vuewm/sys.vuewmrc, the minimum entry in vuewmrc
- would look something like:
-
- <name> [I] @<bitmap1_filename> @<bitmap2_filename>
-
- This will not associate an action with the button, but will provide
- you with an indicator.
-
- Then, from /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Vuewm, the associated X resource
- would look like:
-
- Vuewm*<name>*fileName: <full_path_to_file>
-
- Give it a try. If you want more information, check "HP VUE System
- Administration Manual" for details. It has all of the details in one
- location, instead of spread across man pages and configuration files.
