Settings in the .Xdefaults file

You can specify the initial location for the Library Manager by specifying the following resource in your .Xdefaults file:

cdsLibManager.geometry: widthxheight+xOffset+yOffset

For example:

cdsLibManager.geometry: 590x580+0+25

where width is the desired width of the window in pixels, height is the desired height of the window in pixels, and xOffset and yOffset specify the distance of the window from the edges of the screen. You can specify xOffset and yOffset as follows:

+xOffset	The left edge of the window is to be placed xOffset pixels from the left edge of the screen.
-xOffset	The right edge of the window is to be placed xOffset pixels from the right edge of the screen.
+yOffset	The top edge of the window is to be placed yOffset pixels below the top edge of the screen.
-yOffset	The bottom edge of the window is to be placed yOffset pixels above the bottom edge of the screen.

Offsets must be provided as pairs, that is, if you want to specify either xOffset or yOffset, you must specify both.

To place the window in the corners of the screen, specify the offsets as follows:

+0+0	Places it in the upper left corner
-0+0	Places it in the upper right corner
-0-0	Places it in the lower right corner
+0-0	Places it in the lower left corner

To get the position and size information, you can do the following:

1. Place the Library Manager window in the location that you want to set as the default.
2. In a terminal window, type xwininfo.
3. Click the Library Manager window.
