Changing Icon Placement
By default, minimized icons are placed in the top left corner of the MaXX Interactive Desktop. These can be changed by editing your X defaults file located in your $HOME directory : ~/.Xdefaults.
You can also edit the system-wide 5DWm resource file, but we don't recommend it unless you know what you are doing. The file is located in:
/opt/MaXX/share/X11/app-defaults/
Warning: If you are going to edit the system-wide 5DWm file , you must be root (super user). Be careful!
Here are the steps:
1. Edit your X defaults resource file from a terminal window
On Ubuntu
$ nedit ~/.Xdefaults
2. There are many defaults you can change here, but for icons placement, you can add and change these lines:
*iconPlacement: top left tight *iconPlacementMargin: 10 *iconPlacemenrtLeftMargin: 25 *iconPlacementLeft:10
3. Season to taste.
4. Save.
5. Logout/login or reload your settings with xrdb and restart 5Dwm
$ xrdb -load -quiet ~/.Xdefaults $ xrdb -merge -quiet ~/Sgiresources $ tellwm restart
