In OSF/Motif Release 1.2, setting XmNfillOnSelect to be true when XmNindicatorOn is false now causes the background of a set XmToggleButton to be filled with XmNselectColor.

The default value for XmNfillOnSelect is dynamic so that it matches the state of XmNindicatorOn.

A.5 Motif Window Manager Enhancements

This section highlights the enhancements to the Motif Window Manager (MWM).

A.5.1 Changes to MWM

OSF/Motif Release 1.2 incorporates the following enhancements to MWM:

• An internationalized .mwmrc file
• Internationalized dialog messages
• A built-in default root menu
• Support for the <Return> continuation character (\) in the .mwmrc file
• Search capability with XBMLANGPATH for bitmap files
• Support for pop-down and replay event behavior in mwm menus
• Documentation of the widget names used by mwm
• Support for scrolled window traversal to scrolled-off children in the icon box
• Support for treating the <Alt> and <Meta> key modifiers as two distinct modifiers
• Support for the SHAPE nonrectangular window extension

The OSF/Motif Release 1.2 window manager includes the following new or enhanced resources:

• feedbackGeometry
  Sets the position of the move/resize feedback window. The default position is the center of the screen.
• frameBorderWidth
  Now bases its default value on the size and resolution of the screen.
• iconPlacement
  Now takes the addition value, tight, which specifies automatic icon placement with no gaps between icons.
• maximumClientSize
  Can now take the values vertical and horizontal.
• moveOpaque
  Controls whether an image of the window or just an outline of the window is moved.
• resizeBorderWidth
  Now bases its default value on the size and resolution of the screen.
• usePPosition
  Uses the values of on, off, or nonzero to control whether program-specified positions are used.

OSF/Motif Release 1.2 has the following new and enhanced MWM functions:

• f.lower
  Includes a within argument to move the window within the application stacking order, but retains the parent window below the children rule. The function also includes a freeFamily argument to move the window absolutely without regard to its local family stack. Both modifiers move the window within the local family stack, but do not move the family stack.
• f.minimize
  Can now be used from an icon in an icon box.
• f.raise
  Includes a within argument to move the window within the application stacking order, but retains the parent window below the children rule. The function also includes a freeFamily argument to move the window absolutely without regard to its local family stack. Both modifiers move the window within the local family stack, but do not move the family stack.
• f.raise_lower
  Includes a within argument to move the window within the application stacking order, but retains the parent window below the children rule. The function also includes a freeFamily argument to move the window absolutely without regard to its local family stack. Both modifiers move the window within the local family stack, but do not move the family stack.
• f.restore
  Restores a window to its previous state. Double clicking on a root icon is bound to this function rather than to f.normalize.
• f.restore_and_raise
  Restores a window to its previous state and raises it to the top of the window stack. Double clicking on an icon in an icon box is bound to this function rather than to f.normalize.
• f.screen
  Traverses to the screen specified by arg. Legal values for arg are: next, prev, last, or a specific screen number.

OSF/Motif Release 1.2 has one new MWM action:

• <Alt> <Esc>
  This key combination behaves similarly to f.next_key, except that the window is always raised, regardless of the value of focusAutoRaise.

OSF/Motif Release 1.2 has the following changes in the User Interface Language (UIL):

• There is a new command flag, -s, that enables the use of setlocale and the creation of localized Compound Strings.

  Note There is a serious problem in parsing double quoted strings with the -s flag. If you need to use this flag for parsing double quoted strings, you must obtain a patch from the OSF.

• New UIL syntax now supports font sets and font tables.
• New UIL syntax now supports wide character strings.
• Support has been added for using widget references as callback tags.
• New UIL syntax specifies the resources of automatically created children.
• Syntax changes to the Widget Meta-Language (WML) allow for the definition of automatically created children of composite widgets.
• UIL can now use the -wmd file flag to read binary databases (WML files) that contain WML information.
• Mrm includes two new functions:
  • MrmOpenHierarchyPerDisplay
    This function is the same as the old MrmOpenHierarchy function, except that in the new function, the display is passed as an explicit argument. This function replaces MrmOpenHierarchy.
  • MrmFetchBitmapLiteral
    This function fetches a bitmap literal with a depth of 1.
