window focus

[Cody Godines_1]

Hello,
I like to have the window made active by merely pointing at it; however, it happens a little to fast. Sometimes I accidentally point to the wrong one and that one gets the focus. Is there a way to change this?

Change it to focus on click?

There might be a focus-delay, but I don't remember one.

Hi,

you are talking about the X-Windows resources of your window manager "dtwm":

Dtwm*keyboardFoucsPolicy: pointer
Dtwm*autoRaiseDelay: 500

the timeout is 500 ms, so if that's to fast, increase it!
You would do that (usually) in your "$HOME/.Xdefaults" and it will be used automagically next time you login through CDE!
The lines would look exactly like the examples shown above...

HTH,
