Since then, some interested individuals got together at a Birds-of-a-Feather meeting at Xhibition '89 and discussed the issue. We looked at both Open Look and Motif nomenclature, and we decided that we would recommend that toolkit designers use the Motif conventions. Glad to hear it. Dana Laursen came up with most of the conventions, and more importantly, went to alot of effort to see that they were followed. class_name field in the core structure : "Label" We were also consistent with the class_name and prefixed that with "Xm" as in "XmLabel". I am also going to propose to Robert Scheifler that toolkit prefixes be included in the registry that is maintained by the X Consortium. Sounds like a good idea. -- Gene Dykes, gdykes@tcgould.tn.cornell.edu ---------- Gabe Beged-Dov gabe%hp-pcd@hplabs.hp.com
