Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

To Modify General Properties of a Built-In Subpanel

  1. Create a new Front Panel configuration file:

    • System-wide: /etc/dt/appconfig/types/language/name.fp

    • Personal: HomeDirectory/.dt/types/name.fp.

  2. Copy the entire default SUBPANEL definition from /usr/dt/appconfig/types/language/dtwm.fp to the new file:

    	SUBPANEL   subpanel_name
     	{
      	 …
     	}
  3. Modify the subpanel definition.

  4. Save the new configuration file.

  5. Choose Restart Workspace Manager from the Workspace menu.

    For example, the following definition, placed in the file /users/janice/.dt/types/PerApps.fp, changes the name of the Personal Applications subpanel:

    SUBPANEL PersAppsSubpanel
     {
     	CONTAINER_NAME					TextEditor
     	TITLE								Janice's Applications
     }
