Directory window resources

Name Class Value type Default

directory.menubar Directory.MenuBar menu rule DirMenuBar

directory.enableStatusBar Directory.EnableStatusBar true/false true

directory.statusBarTellFile Directory.StatusBarTellFile true/false true

directory.statusBarTellHidden Directory.StatusBarTellHidden true/false false

directory.enableStatusBar	Directory.EnableStatusBar	true/false	true
directory.statusBarTellFile	Directory.StatusBarTellFile	true/false	true
directory.statusBarTellHidden	Directory.StatusBarTellHidden	true/false	false

NOTE: Directories are constructed from a Dir widget, all with the name directory. directory has the following descendents:

The background is an XmPrimitive widget called back.
The scroll bars are XmScrollBar widgets called hscroll and vscroll.
The status bar is an XmLabel widget called back.

These elements may be included in resource specifications to change the bitmap patterns and colors of individual portions of directory windows. For example, to specify the color of the background of directory windows, use the following resource specification:

   XDesktop3*directory*back*background:	resource_value
