Modifying XWindows/CDE terminals (title bar, buttons, menus)

[Mike_316]

Hey Gang,

I am trying to figure out how to modify the base configurations for ALL xterminals/xwindows opened on a system. I would like to disable, or remove completely, the control buttons from the title bar (or even remove the title bar in its entirety.)

Help!

Thanks!
Mike

Hi Mike,

then all you have to configure is your "Window Manager", perhaps "dtwm" (the one used by CDE).
So look for what is called "decoration" in the resource list of "dtwm", i.e. "man dtwm" and put the lines of interest into your "$HOME/.Xdefaults". Then load and use those by either logging off an on again, or executing:
xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults
#Right-Mouse-Click into your Root-Window and choose "restart window manager"

FWIW,
Wodisch

WHEW! That got it! I figured it was somewhere in there...but I kept missing it! Adding "Dtwm*wMenuButtonClick2: false" to the ~/.Xdefaults file got it to do what I needed!

Thanks again for all the help!
