3631.0. "iconImage problems with NOTES, HyperSession, Session Manager" by PSW::WINALSKI (Careful with that VAX, Eugene) Sat Nov 10 1990 22:45

I've been playing with the DW V3 Mwm*foo*iconImageForeground and
Mwm*foo*iconImageBackground resources to cheer up my dialog box with a bit of
color.  Everything works fine except for four clients:  NOTES, HyperSession,
the Session Manager, and the Message Box.

For the last three (HyperSession, Session Manager, Message Box), I can't
figure out what the application name ("foo" in the Mwm*foo*iconImageBackground
name) should be.  The Session Manager and Message Box resource files use
sm and ctrl, respectively, but Mwm*sm*iconImageBackground or
Mwm*ctrl*iconImageBackground don't work.  Near as I can tell HyperSession
doesn't use a resource file so there's no way to tell what its application
name is.

For NOTES, the application name is clearly "Notes", but
Mwm*Notes*iconImageBackground doesn't work.

Anybody know what's going wrong?

    NOTES is still using XUI, which may be part of the reason.

3631.3Use Xlswins.c from the R4 tape with -l option.DECWIN::FERGUSONJim Ferguson - VMS DevelopmentMon Nov 12 1990 10:2321
You can find the application name/class pair for use in 
resource files of any X application by running Xlswins which 
is on the R4 tape.  Use the application name to customize
a particular window.  If you want the customization to
affect the entire application use the class name.
