After upgrading Motif to the new DESKTOP functionality, I
can't find anyway to restore the ICON-style that I had
been using before. (I had chosen ICON placement from top-to
bottom along the right side of the screen and had specified
text-only icons.)
The setup for that functionality was available via the right mouse
button. Has it been moved elsewhere (or was it removed)?
Thanks...
Dave

| 5776.1 | use dtwm.dat resource file | DECWIN::STEFANELLI | Great googaly moogaly | Fri Feb 14 1997 09:06 | 15 |
There is no graphical way to do this. You have to edit a
resource file. Create the file dtwm.dat in your home directory
(if its not already there). Add the lines:
Dtwm*iconPlacement: Left Top
Dtwm*iconDecoration: activelabel label
The iconPlacement resource above says display icons from left
to right and from top to bottom (Bottom and Right are also valid
values). The iconDecoration resource determines how icons are
displayed. The above says display just the label ("label" value)
and allow labels to exceed the width of the icon ("activelabel"
value). The other valid value is "image".

| 5776.2 | dtwm.dat does the trick... | CPEEDY::COOK | Just say NO to that AccViO! - Java!!! | Fri Feb 14 1997 16:35 | 9 |
Great! Thanks, Doug.
Fwiw, there was one other value that makes the icons longer...
Dtwm*iconImageMaximum: 900x75
(I found my old values in DECW$MWM.DAT...and just put the relevant
ones into dtwm.dat as you explained.)
