Topic 3.1.4: Window Properties

  • Click the Window Color box to select the background color for the window.

  • Window Type options include the following:
  1. Replace – Automatically closes any window(s) it intersects when it appears on the screen,including popup and replace type windows.
  2. Overlay – Appears on top of currently displayed window(s) and can be larger than the window(s) it is overlaying. Clicking on any visible portion of a window behind an overlay window makes that window active.
  3. Popup – Is similar to an overlay window, yet always stays on top of all other open windows (even if another window is clicked). Popup windows usually require a response from the user in order to be removed.
  • The Title Bar can be enabled or disabled. Use the check box to toggle between options. You can also use Size Controls to resize a window in WindowMaker.

  • Frame Style options include the following:

  1. Single – By default, displays a single line around the window. When the Title Bar is unchecked, it enables the two additional options. 
  2. Double – Displays a 3-D effect border around the window. This option is enabled when the Title Bar option is unchecked. 
  3. None - Displays a window with no border. This option is enabled when the Title Bar option is unchecked.
