Put this in your Xresources: *titleLeft: True

Yeah, I found it.

Final question -- how do I set a font as italic? I got a TTF-type font I wanna use for Italic, but it's only a single name "Roboto" in the font lists on my system.

putting style=Italic doesn't work. Hyphenating it as -Italic doesn't work. Google is useless as the config options don't match.

I assume it would work the same way as classic MWM. Use xfontsel to get the settings you want and paste it in.

That's a bitmap font selector, it doesn't work for TTFs

This is TTF, not bitmap.

I don't know then. Maybe try the manual pages.

RE: IRIX-like desktop for Linux/BSD - Raion - 10-17-2021

I checked. Nothing mentioned. I'll email fastestcode then

Emailed Alyx, who helped promptly!

Here's the font settings for it:

This gets me what I prefer, and it looks like the below:
   


You need the Roboto font for my settings to work. Roboto looks good to me and it's not exactly 1-to-1 for IRIX's old fonts, but that's ok!

Looking good. If you remove Toolbox menus you might want to edit the size to remove the giant empty chin. If you're using my .mwmrc I added options for xkill, merging Xresources  and starting a new Toolbox in the right click desktop menu. Technically SIGUSR1 will tell the Toolbox to reparse the configs but it doens't honor all X resources. Better to kill and restart the program.

Set something like this then merge X resources, kill the old Toolbox then start a new one.

*xmtoolbox*geometry: 122x158+10+100

Huh that's what that is?

I actually plan to copy/convert menus I use on IRIX here.
