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".
