SYNOPSIS
vuestyle
DESCRIPTION
Vuestyle is the HP VUE Style Manager application that pro-
vides an interactive method of customizing the visual ele-

tons represent customization tasks for the following:
Color
Select workspace colors and palettes.
Fonts
Select application font sizes.
Backdrop
Select workspace backdrop patterns.
Keyboard
Set key click volume or character repeat capability.
Mouse
Change mouse button order, double-click speed, pointer
acceleration or pointer movement threshold.
Audio
Change the beeper volume, tone, or duration.
Screen
Choose the number of minutes before your screen times
out or whether or not your screen is covered and locked
at time out.
Window
Specify how a window aquires focus, if the window
raises when it receives focus, or where window icons
are placed.
Startup
Specify how your session begins and ends.
STYLE MANAGER SPECIFIC RESOURCES
The following resources control the appearance and behavior
of Style Manager.

Style Manager Resources
Name Class Type Default
______________________________________________________________
componentList ComponentList string see below*
paletteDirectories PaletteDirectories string NULL
writeXrdbImmediate WriteXrdbImmeidate Boolean true
componentList
Specifies the Style Manager components with a list of
component keywords separated by spaces. Valid com-
ponent keywords include: Color, Font, Backdrop, Key-
baord, Mouse, Audio, Screen, Vuewm, and Startup. The
default componentList value is: Color Font Backdrop
Keyboard Mouse Audio Screen Vuewm Startup. The com-
ponentList resource for a Vuelite session is: Color
Backdrop Font Vuewm.
paletteDirectories
Specifies a list of the directories (separated by
spaces) where additional color palettes are located.
These palette files are used to generate the list of
color palettes that a user may select from in the Color
dialog. In addition to this list palettes are also
searched for in /usr/vue/palettes and
$HOME/.vue/palettes.
writeXrdbImmediate
Controls when new font size or new mouse double-click
time resources are used. If True, new resources are
used when new clients start. If False, new resources
are used at the next session (after logout, with
"Resume Current Session" selected in the Startup dia-
log, and login).
COLOR AND BACKDROP RESOURCES: GLOBAL TO HP VUE
The following resources are used by more than one HP VUE
component. The syntax for specifying global resources is:

VUESTYLE(1X) UNIX Programmer's Manual VUESTYLE(1X)
shadowPixmaps ShadowPixmaps int dynamic*
writeXrdbColors WriteXrdbColors Boolean true
*The display type determines default.
backdropDirectory
Specifies the directory location for the backdrops
listed in the backdrop dialog. This resource is also
used by vuewm.
colorUse
Specifies the number of colors to use for the user
interface. The default value for this resource is
determined by querying the X server for the number of
color cells on the system. Valid values are:
⊕ B_W - Specifies a black and white system. The color
palettes use only Black and Whte (color cells 0 and
1) and icons are displayed as bitonal images. In
this configuration four color palettes are avail-
able: Black, White, BlackWhite and WhiteBlack.
These palettes do not dynamically change. To change
a palette, the HP Vue session must be restarted.
This resource value forces shadowPixmaps to True,
and foregroundColor to either black or white depend-
ing on the palette chosen.
⊕ LOW_COLOR - Specifies a low color system. The color
palettes use 2 color sets and icons are displayed as
bitonal images. The number of color cells can be
further reduced by using the resources shadowPixmaps
and foregroundColor.
⊕ MEDIUM_COLOR - Specifies a medium color system. The
color palettes use 4 color sets and icons are
displayed as bitonal images. The number of color
cells can be further reduced by using the resources
shadowPixmaps and foregroundColor.
⊕ HIGH_COLOR - Specifies a high color system. The
color palettes use 8 color sets and icons are
displayed as multi-color images. The number of
color cells can be reduced by using the resources
shadowPixmaps and foregroundColor.

dynamicColor |
This resource can ha↓e values of True or False. dynam-
icColor is used to re
|duce the number of color cells
being used. Once a p
|alette has been selected and it is
not likely to be chan
|ged, dynamicColor can be set to
False. If set to Fal
|se colors cannot be dynamically
changed using the VUE
| style manager. A selected palette
will take effect the|next session. The next time the
session comes up, the
| color server uses Read Only color
cells that can be sha
|red by all clients, thus reducing
the number of color c
|ells used.
|
|
foregroundColor |
This resource can ha↓e values of White, Black or
Dynamic. foregroundC
|olor causes all text (foreground)
to use either pixel 0
| or 1 (Black or White) or to have
a color cell dedicate
|d to foreground that changes in
response to the backg
|round color (Dynamic) for each
ColorSet. If set to|White or Black, the number of
color cells used per|ColorSet is reduced by 1.
|
shadowPixmaps |
For color systems, th
|is resource can have a value of
True or False. If Tr
|ue, topShadowColor and bottomSha-
dowColor use the same
| pixel as background and topSha-
dowPixmap and bottomS
|hadowPixmap are specified instead
of solid color to cre
|ate the 3D look. This reduces the
number of color cells
| per ColorSet by 2. shadowPixmaps
defaults to True for|systems with 4 or less color
planes (16 or less co
|lor cells), and False for systems
with more than 4 colo
|r planes.
|
writeXrdbColors |
This resource should|only be used if you are running
non HP Motif 1.1 clie
|nts that have color schemes that
conflict with HP VUE|colors. This has no impact on
clients linked with t
|he Motif 1.1 library. This
resource specifies wh
|ether color resource information
should be written out
|. If set to False, background and
foreground resources|are not written out with the
values of the current
| palette. This means that non HP
Motif 1.1 clients do|not get HP VUE colors when they
are started. The def
|ault value is True.
COLOR RESOURCES: CLIENT SPECIFIC
The following resources are specified on a per client bases.

The syntax for specifying client-specific resources is
client_name_or_class*resource_id
Color Resource Set: Client Specific
Name Class Type Default
__________________________________________________________
primaryColorSetId PrimaryColorSetId int 3
secondaryColorSetId SecondaryColorSetId int 4
primaryColorSetId
This resource specifies the primary color for an
application. The primary color is used for the
main background areas of the application and all
children of the main area. The value of this
resource is a number from one to eight that
represents a specific color set in a palette.
secondaryColorSetId
This resource specifies the secondary color for an
application. The secondary color is used for the
menubar and all menus and dialogs of the applica-
tion. This allows dialogs on the screen to be
visually associated with its parent application by
matching the dialog color to the menubar. The
value of this resource is a number from one to
eight that represents a specific color set in a
palette.
COLOR RESOURCES: VUEWM SPECIFIC
The following are Vuewm-specific resources.
Color Resource Set: Vuewm specific
Name Class Type Default

activeColorSetId ActiveColorSetId int 1
inactiveColorSetId InactiveColorSetId int 2
activeColorSetId
Specifies the active frame color for vuewm. The
value of this resource is a number from one to
eight, which represents a specific color set in a
palette.
inactiveColorSetId
Specifies the inactive frame color for vuewm. The
value of this resource is a number from one to
eight, which represents a specific color set in a
palette.
