System Administator's Guide. This is provided in .html format on the

You can customize the front panel for an individual user by creating a
file in their [.dt.types] subdirectory with a file type of .fp. If one of
your .fp files defines a control with the same name, container name and
container type as a system-defined control, your control will supersede
the system control. The default system controls are in the file
cde$system_defaults:[appconfig.types.c]dtwm.fp (assuming you're using
English; for Japanese it they are in
cde$system_defaults:[appconfig.types.ja_jp]).
For example, to remove the Clock icon from the front panel, create the
following file as [.dt.types]noclock.fp (or any other name ending in .fp):
CONTROL Clock
{
TYPE blank
CONTAINER_NAME Top
CONTAINER_TYPE BOX
}
Then end your session, log back in, and the Clock icon will be gone.
You can apply this customization to every user on the cluster by copying
noclock.fp to cde$user_common:[appconfig.types.c], or apply it to every
user on a specific node of the cluster by copying it to
cde$user_specific:[appconfig.types.c]. These directories don't exist by
default so you'll need to create them with word read access.
