SYNOPSIS

vuestyle

DESCRIPTION

Vuestyle is the HP VUE Style Manager application that provides an interactive method of customizing the visual elements and system behavior of HP VUE.  The Style Manager buttons represent customization tasks for the following:

ColorSelect workspace colors and palettes. 

FontsSelect 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. 

componentList
Specifies the Style Manager components with a list of component keywords separated by spaces.  Valid component keywords include: Color, Font, Backdrop, Keybaord, Mouse, Audio, Screen, Vuewm, and Startup. The default componentList value is: Color Font Backdrop Keyboard Mouse Audio Screen Vuewm Startup. The componentList 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 dialog, 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:
    *resource_id

*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 available: 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 depending 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 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 it is not likely to be changed,  dynamicColor can be set to False.  If set to False 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 shared by all clients, thus reducing the 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 that 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. 

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 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 default 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

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.

COLOR RESOURCES: VUEWM SPECIFIC

The following are Vuewm-specific resources. 

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. 

numFonts
Specifies the number of System/User Font pairs presented in the Font dialog.

systemFont[1-7]
Specifies a SystemFont for a particular font size that can be selected in the Font dialog.

userFont[1-7]
Specifies a UserFont for a particular font size that can be selected in the Font dialog.
