NAME props - graphical interface to set OpenWindows properties SYNOPSIS props [ -toolkitoption ... ] [ -init ] DESCRIPTION The props program provides a graphical interface to many properties of OpenWindows which are controlled via X resources. The resources props manipulates are stored in the file called .OWdefaults in the user's home directory. This enables props to ensure properties persist across window sessions. Upon window system startup, the .OWdefaults file is merged into the X resource manager as specified in the openwin-sys file. This occurs after xinit(1) loads $OPENWINHOME/lib/Xdefaults or .Xdefaults in the user's home directory if it exists. Thus, the settings in .OWdefaults take precidence over the settings in a user's .Xdefaults file which in turn take precidence over the system defaults set in $OPENWINHOME/lib/Xdefaults. When properties are changed via props, props updates .OWdefaults and the X resource manager. The resources handled by props consist of two resource com- ponents. The first component is OpenWindows. The second resource component is the name of the particular property being set. For example, the mouse acceleration is con- trolled by the resource OpenWindows.MouseAcceleration. The OpenWindows toolkits and window manager are designed to respond to the resources manipulated by props. Systems without the OpenWindows toolkits and window manager are not likely to be aware of the OpenWindows resources. Thus, if props is used in a non-OpenWindows environment, the system will probably ignore the settings made via props. Below is an explaination of the resources handled by props. The second component of each resource name is listed. For example, the name "WorkspaceColor" refers to the complete resource name OpenWindows.WorkspaceColor. BasicLocale (locale name) Specifies the basic locale in which the system is run- ning. Permissible locale names are "C" (USA), "ja" (Japan), "ko" (Korea), "zh" (PRC), "zh_TW" (ROC), "de" (Germany), "it" (Italy), "fr" (France), and "sv" (Sweden).

Default value: paintcolor Properties category: Color Category control: Pattern The default specifies to use the color selected by WorkspaceColor. OPTIONS The props program accepts all standard command line options accepted by the OLIT toolkit. In addition, it accepts the following. -init This is the way props is started by xinit upon window system initialization. This is done to ensure the state of the following window server attributes are set in accordance with the resources in the .OWdefaults file in the user's home directory: key click, key repeat, beep duration, screen saver activation and timeout. When props is started with this option, it checks and resets the server state for these settings if necessary and exits. This option is only meant to be used upon system startup. FILES $HOME/.OWdefaults Contains the resource name-value pairs written by the props program. $HOME/.openwin-menu-programs Contains the user's custom programs menu. $HOME/.openwin-menu-programs.BAK Contains a backup version of $HOME/.openwin-menu-programs. $HOME/.Xdefaults Contains the user's resource name-value pairs as set outside of props. /usr /openwin/lib/Xdefaults Contains the system's default resource name-value pairs. /usr/openwin/lib/app-defaults/Props Contains strings and layout information for props. /usr openwin/lib/help/props.info Contains help text for props. /usr openwin/lib/openwin-sys Starts props in initialization mode upon window system startup. /usr openwin/bin/props The executable props program. /usr openwin/etc/workspace/patterns/*.xbm Workspace bitmap files. /usr openwin/etc/workspace/patterns/attributes Workspace bitmap colors. /tmp/OWtemp Temporary resource storage file.
