OLIT is also often included in UNIX System V Release 4. Sun includes the OLIT library in OpenWindows. You could buy the source from AT&T, although you didn't get the same version that Sun would ship. OLIT used a widget set and was therefore easy to learn for people who were already X11/Xt programmers. OLIT was AT&T's OPEN LOOK Intrinsics Toolkit for the X Window system. XView (This is what you have for Linux.).Several toolkits exist for programmers to use in developing programs that conform to the OPEN LOOK specifications: Portions of olvwm not covered under the above copyrights are ©1991 Scott Oaks.

OpenWindows should not be called "Windows" or "OPEN LOOK" or "OpenLook," because these terms are either wrong or apply to something else. It comes from Sun and also with UNIX System V Release 4 from certain vendors. It's compatible with the X11 window system from MIT as well as (currently) Sun's NeWS and SunView, so you can intermix programs written for any of these systems. OpenWindows is a windowing environment that conforms to the OPEN LOOK Graphical User Interface Specifications. When I talk about OpenWindows, I will refer to XView for Linux in this chapter. The OPEN LOOK GUI is specified, developed, and maintained primarily by Sun Microsystems Inc. A GUI determines the look and feel of a systemthe shape of windows, buttons, and scrollbars how you resize things how you edit files and so on.

You will definitely need to know how to use resources in the. The information you require from the Motif chapter is the discussion on X Window, working with pointers, and the Motif environment. If you have not already done so, please read Chapter 23, "Using Motif." This chapter will build on that chapter, so there won't be duplicate information for you to weed through. Where to get more information about OPEN LOOK.How to work with a look and feel that's different from Motif.That being impossible however, we will cover some of the basics of OPEN LOOK in this chapter, including Ideally, this chapter could be expanded into a book of its own. This chapter introduces you to OPEN LOOK on Linux. Red Hat Linux Unleashed rhl24.htm Red Hat Linux Unleashed rhl24.htm
