DTTERM options

[David Bell_1]

All,

I'm currently seeting up some dtterm things and have begun editing the .Xdefaults file. I have placed the normal things in there but wanted to make some "fun" changes such as:

Dtterm*pointerShape: gumby

or

Dtterm*pointerShape: shuttle

Where can I find the "names" of the available pointerShapes? Where can I find the list of available colors?

Obviously this is merely for fun and not a functional requirement.

Thanks,

Dave

According to 'man 1 dtterm' you can find these in the file cursorfont.h in the /usr/include/X11 directory.

To get the appropriate name just remove the XC_ from the name that is there.


# man 1 dtterm

and scroll until you get to the pointerShape section.

Patrick,

Thank you for pointing that the man page entry, in all honesty, I had missed it. However, the file /usr/include/X11/cursorfont.h does not exist. The only thing in that directory is a subdirectory called "bitmaps".

I just checked my 11.11 and 11.0 machines and the file is there in the /usr/include/X11 directory on both.

Perhaps you didn't install the X11 packages when you installed HP-UX?

Those files are in the X11MotifDevKit fileset.

Do an 'swlist -l fileset | grep X11' and see if anything shows up. If not, that is your problem.

Patrick,

Again, thank you for the follow up. I am currently using the "gumby" pointer and have set many options in my .Xdefaults file. All is working well so I know the files exist somewhere. The output from swlist is attached as well as a list of the directory.

Thank you,

Dave

As mentioned, this was not particularly important, more of an interest in modifications. Unfortunately, I was unable to locate the file(s). Thanks to Patrick for the help!
