NAME

       props - Change OpenWindows settings

SYNOPSIS

       props [ generic-tool-arguments ]

DESCRIPTION

       props  can  be  used  to  change certain settings for OpenWindows/XView
       programs using  a  GUI.  As  most  of  these  settings  are  stored  in
       OpenWindows-specific  X resources, they won’t have an influence on non-
       OpenWindows programs.

       These are the settings that can be modified using props (their  meaning
       is explained in xview (7)):

       OpenWindows.Beep

       OpenWindows.DragRightDistance

       OpenWindows.IconLocation

       OpenWindows.MultiClickTimeout

       OpenWindows.PopupJumpCursor

       OpenWindows.ScrollbarPlacement

       OpenWindows.SelectDisplaysMenu

       OpenWindows.SetInput

       OpenWindows.WindowColor

       OpenWindows.WorkspaceColor

       Scrollbar.JumpCursor

OPTIONS

       generic-tool-arguments
              props  accepts  the  XView  generic  tool arguments described in
              xview (7).

FILES

       ~/.Xdefaults
              Stores user’s  resource  values.  Modified  by  props  when  new
              settings are applied.

BUGS

       props saves  all  resources  currently  defined  in  the  X  server  to
       ~/.Xdefaults,  overwriting  its  current  contents.  This  will  remove
       comments and conditionals, reorder resources and  also  save  resources
       which were originally loaded into the server by other means.

       The  color  selector  is  available  only on display classes GrayScale,
       PseudoColor and DirectColor.
