HDSperx Client Configuration

This page discusses the clients configuration file and ways to manage the HDSperx clients.

Format of Client Configuration Files
The format of the clients.config file is based on the format used for standard X resource databases. However, they are NOT X resources in the normal sense; they are used only by the ViewStation's clients.config mechanism. These entries should not be placed in normal X resource files or set to be read by xrdb since they would have no effect. Similarly, your Xresources should not appear in the clients.config file.
Entries in the clients.config files are self-explanatory and appear in the form:
hds.client.<client_name>.<attribute_name>: <attribute_value>

Comment lines should begin with a '#' or '!' character. Note also that C-preprocessor style comments will not work in these files. Refer to the ./hds-fx/config/clients.syntax.config file for samples and more details on client attributes.

Clients Configuration File
This page lists the clients configuration file and its contents.

Client Configuration Attributes
This page discusses the ways to modify the clients configuration file and its attributes. Using these attributes, either to modify the client operation, or to set client arguments, allows you to customize your HDSperx clients.

X11 Downloadable Extensions
This page discusses downloadable extensions to the ViewStation's X server.
