------------ Toolbar v1.3 ------------ by Gerald Washington The "toolbar" application creates a window containing user-specified buttons which are use to launch applications. The buttons may contain a text name or a color pixmap image. The content of the toolbar is defined by the file ".toolbarrc" in the user's home directory. Minimum Requirements: --------------------- Motif 1.2 X11 Release 4 Xpm 3.2 ANSI C compiler Compilation: ------------ 1> Edit the makefile to specify your compiler, location of X11, Motif, and Xpm include files and libraries, and any preferred compiler options. 2> Type "make". Installation: ------------- Type "make install", or follow these steps for manual installation. NOTE: you always have to modify the ".toolbarrc" file for proper execution (step 3). 1> Place the "toolbar" application in your search path. 2> You may place the "XToolbar" resource file in your resource file path and customize the file as you please, or you may use the built-in resources. 3> Place the ".toolbarrc" file in your home directory. Customize this file to specify your toolbar layout. The syntax is as follows, with one command per line. The commands must be in all caps. TITLE "toolbar title" - specifies the title of the toolbar; this must be the first command BUTTON "button name" "command" - creates a text button; the "button name" is displayed, and the "command" is executed IMAGE "image file" "command" - creates an image button; the image is read from the XPM file "image file", and the "command" is executed SEPARATOR - creates a separator line IPATH "directory" - specifies the "directory" to use for finding image files; this may be changed again in the file POPUP "window name" - creates a popup window with a button named "window name" POPUP_IMAGE "image file" - creates a popup window with a button showing "image file" END_POPUP - must match a POPUP or POPUP_IMAGE command; nested popup windows are not allowed 4> Make sure the images specified by IMAGE commands are installed in the IPATH or current directories. Some sample images are included in the sample_images directory. Execution: ---------- Just type "toolbar". ----------------------------------------------------------------- # Gerald G.
