CDE mouse focus configuration

Raymond Tan — Mon, 17 Jun 2002 07:12:19 GMT

Hi all,
Need some advise on how do I setup the CDE so that I can give focus to the window which my mouse is on. I know that I can do it in the style manager but it is only for the particular display, how do I make it system wide or for all users who login as a particular login?

I'd try cp /usr/dt/app-defaults//Dtwm
to /etc/dt/app-defaults//Dtwm

add the resource

Dtwm*focusAutoraise : True

save and restart dtlogin.

more info in man dtwm(1) or you could add/edit the above resource to $HOME/.dt/sessions/home/dt.resources ...this is where the style manager settings get saved (in the case of a user who logs into a saved "CDE home session" I beleive

The vital resource is
*keyboardFocusPolicy:pointer
The focusAutoRaise resource is just an emblishment on top of that.
