NAME

vuestyle - The HP VUE Style Manager.

SYNOPSIS

vuestyle

DESCRIPTION

Vuestyle is the HP VUE Style Manager application that provides an interactive method of customizing sessions and workspaces.  Vuestyle starts the Style Manager window from which push buttons open dialog boxes for the following:

AudioChange the beeper’s volume, tone, and duration.  Setting 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.

ColorChoose 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. 

FontsChange 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 Session Startup dialog box.  New font sizes can also be used by clients started after a new font size selection if the resource Vuestyle*writeXrdbImmediate is set to True. 

HostsAdd 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. 

MouseReverse 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 numbered.  The mouse pictured depends on the type of mouse attached to the computer.  A toggle button reverses 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 Session 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.

ScreenPrevent 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.

RESOURCES

The following tables and descriptions define resources used to specify data for vuestyle. 

backdropDirectory
Specifies the directory location for the bitmaps listed in the backdrop dialog box.

*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 ShadowPixmaps 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 maximum 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 maximum of 42 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.  The default value for this resource will be determined by querying the X server for the number of color cells on the system. 

dynamicColor
This resource can have values of True or False. DynamicColor 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 reducing 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 bottomShadowColor use the same pixel as background and topShadowPixmap 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 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. 

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 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.

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. 

largeUserFontHR
Specifies the large font used for editable areas such as text edit fields and lists for high-resolution displays.

largeUserFontMR
Specifies the large font used for editable areas such as text edit fields and lists for medium-resolution displays.

largeSysFontHR
Specifies the large font used for label areas such as window frames, menus, and push buttons for high-resolution displays.

largeSysFontMR
Specifies the large font used for label areas such as window frames, menus, and push buttons for medium-resolution displays.

mediumUserFontHR
Specifies the medium font used for editable areas such as text edit fields and lists for high-resolution displays.

mediumUserFontMR
Specifies the medium font used for editable areas such as text edit fields and lists for medium-resolution displays.

mediumSysFontHR
Specifies the medium font used for label areas such as window frames, menus, and push buttons for high-resolution displays.

mediumSysFontMR
Specifies the medium font used for label areas such as window frames, menus, and push buttons for medium-resolution displays.

smallUserFontHR
Specifies the small font used for editable areas such as text edit fields and lists for high-resolution displays.

smallUserFontMR
Specifies the small font used for editable areas such as text edit fields and lists for medium-resolution displays.

smallSysFontHR
Specifies the small font used for label areas such as window frames, menus, and push buttons for high-resolution displays.

smallSysFontMR
Specifies the small font used for label areas such as window frames, menus, and push buttons for medium-resolution displays.

Vuestyle*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 session startup dialog box, and login).
