Sorry. :-) http://peloton.physics.montana.edu/brett/images/south_screen.jpg You can get the theme for this at wm.themes.org. I've modified the original theme so that it would work (there are missing xpms and the background is defined wrong in the theme initially) and then had it use a bigger image than the one that it comes w/ from wm.themes.org (grabbed the larger image from the original site) and then had the background image centered instead of maximized. > All right.

If so you can do that in Window Maker. Start up Netscape, right click on the title bar and choose window attributes and then click on "Keep on top/floating" and it will always stay on top. Even if you set your other apps to autoraise, this would still keep Netscape on top (preventing the xterm from popping up over it). I imagine that After Step and such have similar things, but I can't recall how to do it in AS - I think it's something like "Always on Top" in the old 1.0 wording. No clue how to do this in the latest versions. > What is "sloppy focus"? Sloppy focus is like auto-focus only the cursor can move out of the window and that window will remain focussed until it enters another window.
