I have just compiled wterm to check what "wterm -wm" does and it's a bit different comparing to what GNUstep applications usually do. While GNUstep applications create menu (a window of course) that uses NEXT colors (mainly gray), wterm is actually creating menu that looks the same as other internal windowmaker menus. Looking into wterm window properties shows that in this case there is a property called _WINDOWMAKER_MENU which contains the definition of the wterm menu options. Hope that this helps a bit. -- Josip Deanovic -- To unsubscribe, send mail to wmaker-dev-unsubscr...@lists.windowmaker.org.
