| 218.2 | How to specify window geometry for arbitrary applications | PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ | Jeff Lomicka | Thu Feb 16 1989 10:06 | 8 |
| CHILD only positions and sizes DECTerm emulators. I think he want's to
know how to specify the geometry resource for the real applications.
Now, since I don't really know how to do this, I'll have to leave it for
somebody else to explain the geometry resource syntax.

| 218.3 | Clock geometry | REFLEX::MARCA | | Fri Feb 17 1989 10:36 | 7 |
| Positioning the clock is done with the geometry resource...
SYNTAX: "Clock.geometry: WxH+X+Y", where W=width, H=height, X=X-pixel,
Y=Y-pixel.
EXAMPLE: Clock.geometry: 175x253+365+0
NOTE: Please note that the resource name must be spelled exactly as above.
Ditto for the "x" and "+" symbols.

| 218.4 | A few more hints | IAGO::SCHOELLER | Who's on first? | Fri Feb 17 1989 12:32 | 14 |
| A few hints on resources:
1) Resources must be indentically capitalized as well as spelled.
2) If -x or -y is used (instead of +x or +y) in a geometry specification
then the window is placed in relation to the bottom or right of the
screen instead of top and left.
3) Not all applications are very good at obeying the geometry resource
but most are.
For starting stuff from DECW$LOGIN.COM, there are other notes on the topic.
You can either spawn, run/det or submit/remote the startup applications from
the DECW$LOGIN.COM.

| 218.5 | Thanks for your answers! | SKYWAY::HONEGGER | | Wed Feb 22 1989 09:59 | 9 |
| Hi,
Many thanks for your answers! I can now position my clock wherever
I want to.
Regards!

| 218.6 | SYS$SPECIFIC instead of SYS$COMMON:? | 25611::VANSICLEN | Garrett * ML5-2/P60 * 223-6310 | Mon Feb 27 1989 11:26 | 8 |
|
After changing the values in SYS$COMMON:[SYSLIB]DECW$CLOCK.DAT I moved
the file to SYS$SPECIFIC:[SYSLIB] for my satellite. But it seems the
default is SYS$COMMON: not SYS$LIBRARY:. Is this right and is there a
way to change this?

| 218.7 | modifying system defaults is not a good idea... | IAGO::SCHOELLER | Who's on first? | Fri Mar 10 1989 11:25 | 11 |
| Garrett,
SYS$LIBRARY is one of entries in the path for DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS.
However, you shouldn't modify the contents of DECW$SYSTEM_DEFAULTS:*.DAT.
That logical points to system wide defaults. You want to create/modify
DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:*.DAT. These control your account defaults. What you
have done is sort of like modifying sys$manager:sylogin.com to do things
that are specific to your account.
