NAME
vuestyle - The HP VUE Style Manager.
SYNOPSIS
vuestyle
DESCRIPTION
Vuestyle is the HP VUE Style Manager application that pro-
vides an interactive method of customizing sessions and
workspaces. Vuestyle starts the Style Manager window from
which push buttons open dialog boxes for the following:
Audio Change the beeper's volume, tone, and duration. Set-
ting the volume to zero turns the beeper off. The
beeper sounds when the mouse button is released after
moving any of the sliders.
Backdrop
Choose from a list of backdrop bitmaps to change
workspace background patterns. Distinguish workspaces
by using a unique backdrop for each.
Color Choose from a list of color palettes to change
workspace colors. Colors dynamically update on the
display when a different palette is chosen. The
display type (monochrome, low-, medium-, or high-
color) determines the number of colors available.
Fonts Change font size to small, medium, or large. The
display type, in part, determines the exact font
sizes. For example, a large font size on a high-
resolution display may look different from a large
font size on a medium-resolution display. Font size
changes are not dynamic. New font sizes are used the
next time an HP VUE session starts (logout, then
login) with "Resume current session" set in the Ses-
sion Startup dialog box. New font sizes can also be
used by clients started after a new font size selec-
tion if the resource Vuestyle*writeXrdbImmediate is
set to True.
Hosts Add or remove hosts (other computers on your network)
to or from a list that allows them to show information
on your display. Enable or disable security with the
toggle button.
Mouse Reverse mouse button order, change mouse pointer
speed, or change double-click speed. A mouse picture
shows a two- or a three-button mouse with the buttons
HP VUE 2.01 (2/91) 1
VUESTYLE(1X) UNIX Programmer's Manual VUESTYLE(1X)
numbered. The mouse pictured depends on the type of
mouse attached to the computer. A toggle button rev-
erses button order.
"Acceleration" and "Threshold" sliders define how fast
the pointer moves when the mouse is moved. Changes
are dynamic (except for double click) and take place
after the slider is released. The "Double-Click"
slider defines the time between the first and second
click in a double-click action. The range is .1 to
1.0 seconds. The mouse picture is a button to test
double-click response. New double-click speed is used
the next time your HP VUE session starts (logout, then
login) with "Resume current session" set in the Ses-
sion Startup dialog box. New double-click speed can
also be used by clients started after a new double-
click selection if the resource
Vuestyle*writeXrdbImmediate is set to True.
Keyboard
Set key click volume or character auto repeat. The
"Click Volume" slider ranges from zero (off) to 100
percent. There is also an auto-repeat toggle button.
The selected actions take place immediately to allow
testing while the dialog box is still open.
Screen
Prevent bright colors from burning into your display
by using screen-saver. Turn screen saver on or off
and specify time out intervals. A "Time Out" slider
ranges from zero (off) to 120 minutes. Toggle the
"Logo" button to either display an X logo or a blank
screen during a time out.
Startup
Specify how your next HP VUE session starts. Radio
buttons offer choices to resume the current session,
to restore the home session, or to query on exit.
Select "Display logout confirmation dialog box" to
confirm at logout that you really want to log out. If
unselected, immediate logout occurs without the dialog
box query. The "Set Home Session" push button opens
an information dialog box to confirm the home session
change.

paletteDirectories PaletteDirectories string NULL
shadowPixmaps ShadowPixmaps int dynamic*
writeXrdbColors WriteXrdbColors Boolean true
*The display type determines default.
colorUse
Specifies the number of colors to use for the user
interface. Valid types are:
+ B_W - Specifies a black and white system. The color
palettes will use two color cells for the user
interface. In this configuration only two color
palettes are available: BlackWhite and WhiteBlack.
These palettes cannot dynamically change. To change
a palette, all applications using that color palette
must be restarted. This resource value forces Sha-
dowPixmaps to True, and ForegroundColor to either
black or white depending on the palette chosen.
+ LOW_COLOR - Specifies a low color system. The color
palettes will have two color sets and use a maximum
of 12 color cells for the user interface, including
black and white (color cells 0 and 1). The number
of color cells can be reduced by using the resources
ShadowPixmaps and ForegroundColor.
+ MEDIUM_COLOR - Specifies a medium color system. The
color palettes will have 4 color sets and use a max-
imum of 22 color cells for the user interface,
including black and white (color cells 0 and 1).
The number of color cells can be reduced by using
the resources ShadowPixmaps and ForegroundColor.
+ HIGH_COLOR - Specifies a high color system. The
color palettes will have 8 color sets and use a max-
imum of 42 color cells for the user interface,
HP VUE 2.01 (2/91) 3

including black and white (color cells 0 and 1).
The number of color cells can be reduced by using
the resources ShadowPixmaps and ForegroundColor.
The default value for this resource will be deter-
mined by querying the X server for the number of
color cells on the system.

dynamicColor
This resource can have values of True or False. Dynam-
icColor is used to reduce the number of color cells
being used. Once a palette has been selected and the
user will not be changing palettes often, DynamicColor
can be set to False. When the session comes up next
time, the color server will use Read Only color cells
that can be shared by non-Motif1.1 clients, thus reduc-
ing total number of color cells used.
foregroundColor
This resource can have values of White, Black or
Dynamic. ForegroundColor causes all text (foreground)
to use either pixel 0 or 1 (Black or White) or to have
a color cell dedicated to foreground and changes in
response to the background color (Dynamic) for each
ColorSet. If set to White or Black, the number of
color cells used per ColorSet is reduced by 1.
paletteDirectories
This resource specifies the directories where color
palettes may be located. These palette files are used
to generate the list of color palettes that a user may
select from for color generation.
shadowPixmaps
For color systems, this resource can have a value of
True or False. If True, topShadowColor and bottomSha-
dowColor use the same pixel as background and topSha-
dowPixmap and bottomShadowPixmap are specified instead
of solid color to create 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 color cells), and False for systems
with more than 4 color planes.
writeXrdbColors
This resource should only be used if you are running
HP VUE 2.01 (2/91) 4
VUESTYLE(1X) UNIX Programmer's Manual VUESTYLE(1X)
non HP Motif 1.1 clients that have color schemes that
conflict with HP VUE colors. This has no impact on
clients linked with the Motif 1.1 library. This
resource specifies whether color resource information
should be written out. If set to False, background and
foreground resources will not be written out with the
values of the current palette. This means that non HP
Motif 1.1 clients will not get HP VUE colors when they
are started. The default value is True.
Color Resource Set: Client Specific (specified on a per client basis)
Name Class Type Default
______________________________________________________________________
primaryColorSetId PrimaryColorSetId int 3
secondaryColorSetId SecondaryColorSetId int 4
primaryColorSetId
This resource specifies the primary color for an appli-
cation. The primary color is used for the main back-
ground 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 menu-
bar and all menus and dialogs of the application. 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 Resource Set: Workspace Manager
________________________________________________________
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, that
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
that represents a specific color set in a palette.
