How to change window background color, font size, menubar style etc on all Motif apps without CDE?

These screenshots show different Motif/OpenMotif windows with and without CDE. The font size, window background colour, button color, menubar bevel edges etc. look different:

xorg 7.5 breaks openmotif's mwm

Submitted by karsten on Sat, 08/28/2010 - 21:57.

Hello,

It seems that since a recent update to xorg (7.5) mwm no longer functions correctly.

For example, if you click between two windows, the whole of xorg will seemingly freeze.
Clicking the title boarders seems fine, it is only when you click the window contents.

Any solutions, patches or information would be greatly appreciated!

Best Regards,

Default Title Font

Submitted by woomia on Thu, 08/19/2010 - 15:51.

What is the default title font for MWM? I am using it on Debian Lenny 5.0 and was curious. I looked through the OM source but couldn't find it.

OpenMotif 2.2.3 on RHEL5

Submitted by fritzfreund on Tue, 08/10/2010 - 22:57.

I'm having an issue installing OpenMotif on RHEL5 x86_64. I need to run MSC Patran and it requres 2.2.3, but RHEL5 comes with 2.3.1. I tried to build it from source, but I get the following error during the make:

makestrs.c:51:21: error: X11/Xos.h: No such file or directory

Thank you for any help you can give,

button - fixed size

Submitted by piotrek on Sat, 05/22/2010 - 07:27.

Hello.
I have been trying to write a simple programme - just a window with a button inside.
I want the button not to resize with the window - it should have fixed size and should be inextensible.
I suppose an answer for this question is very obvious, but I can't find it out.
I created the button and set XmNresizePolicy, but it still resizes while fiddling with the window size:


top_wid = XtVaAppInitialize(&app, "Push", NULL, 0,
&argc, argv, NULL, NULL);
button = XmCreatePushButton(top_wid, "Push_me", NULL, 0);
Arg args[1];

pointer frozen when creating a popup menu

Submitted by YvesLaprie on Tue, 05/11/2010 - 14:07.

I just changed to Ubuntu 10.4 and the pointer is frozzen when a popup menu should appear.

To replicate this new problem I just used the program simple_popup.c from http://www.ist.co.uk/motif/books/vol6A/ch-19.fm.html.
After clicking the button 3 (the right one) the pointer is locked in the window without any popup menu.

Is there any solution?

/* simple_popup.c -- demonstrate how to use a simple popup menu.
** Create a main window that contains a DrawingArea widget, which
** displays a popup menu when the user presses the third mouse button.
