I am using the Motif Window Manager as my desktop.
Motif allows many settings to be adjusted in ~/.Xdefaults. I have a lot of settings, which are confirmed to work here, such as changing the color.
One setting which I strangely cannot get to work is changing the iconbox's window title. Adding
Mwm*useIconBox: True
to ~/.Xdefaults allows the iconbox to appear, but it displays the default title "iconbox". According to the manual, there are two settings, Mwm*iconBoxTitle
and Mwm*iconBoxName
, one of which I believe should allow the title to be changed, but I cannot get either to work.
Preferably, I'd like the iconbox to display the day's date as its title, so that real estate on screen has some use.
How can I get the Mwm*iconBoxTitle
option to work?
I've tried many different combinations of commands in the ~.Xdefaults file, such as:
Mwm*iconBoxTitle: my title
Mwm*iconBoxTitle(my title)
Mwm*iconBoxTitle: "my title"
I've found sample screenshots of different OSes running MWM confirming that the iconbox window title can be changed. I've also found a few sample ~/.Xdefaults files using these Mwm*iconBoxTitle
commands, yet copying this code to my own ~.Xdefaults did not result in any title changes.
How can I change the window title of the Motif Window Manager's iconbox?
