CyWM Preferences

Window settings

These are the window settings for CyWM. The extended face is a notebook. Its tabs cover the frames (chrome), tiling, icons, focus, the on-screen banner, decoration, the menu, and the related knobs. A canonical face reproduces the IRIX Windows panel: focus policy, the desks overview, opaque move, automatic placement, and session save.

The panel writes ~/.cyanotype/cywm.conf and tells the running window manager to read that file again. You do not log out to change a focus policy.

Window settings, opened on the Chrome tab, which is where move style, resize style, and the technical variant live. Tiling is the next tab, and it is not this picture.
