2722.0. "Customize IconBox location in DECw v2?" by PINALL::BRENNAN_J (J.D. Brennan, Boeing Business Group) Mon May 07 1990 18:11

    How do I customize the location of the Icon Box in my
    sys$login:decw$xdefaults.dat under VMS 5.3 (DECw 2.0)?

    Under 5.1/1.0 this worked:

wm*Geometry: 215x145+813+721

    Under 5.3/2.0 I've tried:

DECW$WINMGR*Geometry: 215x145+813+721

DECW$WINMGR.x:  813
DECW$WINMGR.y:  721
DECW$WINMGR.width: 215
DECW$WINMGR.height: 145

wm.x:  813
wm.y:  721
wm.width: 215
wm.height: 145

But none of them work.  Funny thing is, I have

wm*Foreground: black
wm*Background: LightGrey

and they still work.  Any help appreciated.
Tx, JD

2722.1Save Settings works..TOWNS::RUFFIEUXMon May 07 1990 18:445
    Try placing the mouse cursor in the icon box and pressing MB2.  A popup
    menu should appear (VMS V5.3 DECw V2.0) Select "Save Settings"  This
    should save the location of the icon box for next start up.

    I found the MB2 Popup, but didn't try the Save Settings. I
    thought it was only going to save the two things in the
    Customize... menu.

    Anyway, this is great.  Tx!
