.Where To Go for More InformationNabajyoti Barkakati gives an excellent introduction to X and to OLIT programming, as well as setting up and using X and OpenWindows, inUNIX Desktop Guide to OPEN LOOK, Sams, 1992, ISBN 0-672-30023-0The OPEN LOOK Graphical Interface is documented in two books:Sun Microsystems Inc., OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface Application Style Guidelines, Addison Wesley, 1989.Sun Microsystems Inc., OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface Functional Specification, Addison Wesley, 1989.David Miller describes programming with OLIT in his book, An OPEN LOOK At UNIX (M&T Press).You could also try The X Window System: Programming and Applications with Xt, OPEN LOOK Edition, by Doug Young and John Pew (Prentice Hall, 1992, ISBN 0-13-982992-X).Sun Microsystems supplies a large amount of documentation with OpenWindows, although you may have to order it separately.The following list shows what I have; each book is 8.5´11 and vary from about 1 to 2 inches thick.Each manual says"User's Guide" or "Programmer's Guide" on the front cover.The user manuals have a red stripe on the bottom, and the programmer versions have a green stripe:800-6006-10OpenWindows Version 3 Release Manual800-6029-10OpenWindows Version 3 Installation and Start-Up Guide800-6231-10OpenWindows Version 3 DeskSet Reference Guide800-6618-10OpenWindows Version 3 User's Guide800-6323-10Desktop Integration Guide800-6027-10Programmer's Guide800-6005-10OpenWindows Version 3 Reference Manual (the man pages)800-6319-10The NeWS Toolkit 3.0 Reference Manual800-6736-10NeWS 3.0 Programming Guide800-6055-10OLIT 3.0 Widget Set Reference Manual800-6198-10XVTiew 3.0 Reference Manual: Converting SunView Applications800-6854-10F3 Font Format SpecificationSun's AnswerBook CD-ROM contains much of this documentation and can prove to be a valuable source of information if you intend to port applications to Sun Workstations.SummaryHere is what you should remember from this chapter on OPEN LOOK:XView is the OPEN LOOK GUI interface for Linux and is also referred to as OpenWindows.All three terms (XView, OPEN LOOK, and OpenWindows) are used interchangeably, but really refer to the same windowing interface.OPEN LOOK is not Motif.Not only are the window decorations different—the terminology used to convey actions is also different.(For example, Close in Motif generally kills an application and its window, whereas Close in OPEN LOOK iconifies awindow.)You can use two types of OPEN LOOK window managers: olwm and olvwm.The olwm is the base OPEN LOOK window manager and the olvwm extends olwm by providing many virtual screens for your desktop.You can use the.Xdefaults files with the olwm keyword to set resources for your applications under olwm.See the man pages for olwm and olvwm for details on all resources for your distribution.You can get more information from Sun Microsystems about OPEN LOOK.Most OPEN LOOK menus offer a feature that enables you to pin a menu onto your desktop.You must either unpin this menu, or kill its underlying application, to get rid of it.On the Virtual Desktop Manager (VDM), you can stick windows on your screen regardless of your virtual desktop by using the Stick/Unstick selection on the Applications menu.All dialog boxes with that menu will stick with it too.XView applications enable you to have drag-and-drop capabilities.For example, with the File Manager application you can manage files and directories by dragging them around with the mouse.Standard Motif applications should run under XView.XView applications should also run under Motif if you have the shared libraries in your path.You can customize dialog box menus to include all executables files in a directory.Check the openwin-menu file for examples
