Yet another open source toolchest app - Raion - 10-21-2021
There's xmtoolbox, which targets and has extra bells and whistles to hook into a DE.
Open Toolchest is my fork of the "Program Launcher" by Keidel, which was released into the public domain. Much of the work here is not mine.
You can see it on the right.
The roadmap is to turn it to look more like the toolchest you see on screen near the top center, add additional effects, and make it potentially even more configurable (read: potential new color schemes, font changes etc.)

To make it look more like the IRIX toolchest, which is to say, get rid of the button look, you just set the shadowThickness resource on the cascade buttons to zero.

Also, if the button appearance is going to be off we should probably turn on the mouseover highlight resources so folks know it's clickable. I can do it if you want, just lemme know...
RE: Yet another open source toolchest app - Raion - 10-25-2021
Gotcha, I can set those resources on likely. A more important question is how to enable title bars?
RE: Yet another open source toolchest app - vishnu - 10-25-2021
Do you mean title bars like in the MWM root menu, such as:
RE: Yet another open source toolchest app - Raion - 10-25-2021
No, I mean how most apps under MWM have a title bar that displays a name, like "Mozilla firefox" or how the original SGI toolchest says "toolchest" in the top bar.
RE: Yet another open source toolchest app - vishnu - 10-25-2021
Ah! So add an XmLabel at the top of the window that says "toolchest," with similar color resources to the IRIX toolchest titlebar?
RE: Yet another open source toolchest app - Raion - 10-26-2021
Yeah but pretty much every program has that under mwm. There's two purposes of this, looks, and drag and drop. As soon as I enable the title bar I can customize the look and get rid of the buttons easily.

I compiled in editres support and turned the button shadows off with the built-in resource editor. Somebody, I can't remember who, posted years ago that editres 2.0 was in the works, including switching to motif widgets (it's currently athena) and writing a host of new resource converters. I guess that project got dropped. Which pretty much sums up x.org in a nutshell...
RE: Yet another open source toolchest app - Raion - 10-27-2021
Ok, so I tried setting:
"Toolchest*cascadeButtonp.shadowThickness: 0",
That didn't work.
I also checked for every instance of shadowThickness and set it to 0 as well. No dice.
Did you figure that out regarding the title bars?
"Toolchest.clientDecoration: title border",
"Toolchest.clientFunctions: -resize -minimize -maximize",
I tried adding this. No effect on enabling a title bar.
