| I find that I can still control the colors using the V1 color resource
names. To control the geometry however, you must resize the window,
and then save the customization by pressing MB2 while the pointer is
in the ICON box window. I don't know about the other resources that
you mentioned.

| 2155.3 | Not all of it is documented | AGBEAR::HORNER | A.G.Bear, Old fashion teddy bear | Mon Jan 29 1990 17:28 | 19 |
| The color stuff isn't documented, since I do it through an XDEFAULTS
file. Here is what I've found, substitute your own colors.
wm*borderColor: #000000000000
wm*titleBar.foreground: #000000000000
wm*titleBar.background: #FFFFCCCCAAAA
wm*titleBar.highlight: #000077779999
wm*iconBox*foreground: #FFFFFFFFFFFF
wm*iconBox*background: #FFFF55558888
wm*iconBox.foreground: #000000000000
wm*iconBox.background: #6666BBBBCCCC
The resizing and saving the ICON box window geometry is documented in
the V5.3 DECwindows release notes. I can't find my copy at the moment
to give you a page number. A message saying something about pressing
MB2 to customize the ICON box window is also displayed sometime after
it is created.

| You can turn flash on and off through the customize menu
in the icon box.
What I'd like to know is how to get my sticky icon box back.
Is there a way?

| I cannot remember if I edited DECW$WINMGR.DAT or just applied the
sticky window and Saved Settings (I think the latter), but my line
reads:
*sticky.state: 1

| No need for that. Just make it sticky (Shift-click on the push-to-back
button) and then use MB2 to save your configuration. Stickiness is saved
along with the size and position of the box.

| re: .4
You can also save "flash", its just not called flash.
Its "animated windows" in the customize window, then
save.

| 2155.9 | Can Icon box quantize Icon positions? | RHETT::GILBERT | Jeff Gilbert, VMS workstations support, CSC/AT | Mon Feb 05 1990 17:11 | 8 |

Is there any way to get the Icon box to quantize the positions of
the icons so they kind of click into slots the way they used to
under version 1? For me, it was much easier to keep the Icon Box
tidy that way.
Thanks,
jeff

The slots are not changeable in dimension. The window manager
checks for the presence of a pixmap and doesn't cover it up with
another pixmap. There were many complaints about the jumpiness
when an icon is moved - so the dimension of the grid was reduced.
Additionally, the jumpiness changed magnitude when the resolution
of the terminal changed.
There have been many requests for different ways to tidy
the icon box.... this has been noted.
