NAME
toybox - icon manager using colour pixmaps
SYNOPSIS
toybox <-toolkit options>
DESCRIPTION
Toybox is an icon manager with colour pixmaps using the Xpm library.
You can specify the icon to use for each window in your .Xdefaults
file in the form:
toybox*TITLE OF WINDOW: filename
For example,
toybox*xclock: /usr/remote/lib/X11/toybox/clock
Some pixmaps are available in /usr/remote/lib/X11/toybox to use as
icons. If you would like to make your own pixmaps, use the program
toyboxgrab(1) to capture portions of the screen as pixmaps or draw
them with xscribble(1).
If you do not want to show the icon for a particular window then use
the form:
toybox*TITLE OF WINDOW: DONT_SHOW
Note: you cannot specify too many pixmaps as they each allocate their
own colourmap and you are therefore restricted by the number of
colours your screen allows.
