TOOLBAR(1) TOOLBAR(1)
NAME
toolbar - window manager toolbar
SYNOPSIS
wm/toolbar [ -s ] [ -p ] [ -f font ] [ -i icon.bit ]
DESCRIPTION
Toolbar is designed to be run as the controlling application
under an instance of wm(1). It runs an initialisation shell
script, provides a menu allowing the user to start new pro-
grams. and shows icons representing windows that have been
hidden.
When toolbar is started, it configures itself by means of
the /lib/wmsetup shell script. Toolbar loads the shell
sh(1), and defines the following shell built-in commands
before executing the script:
menu title1 [title2] command
Insert an item at the top of the start menu. Title1 is
the text of the item on the main menu. If title2 is
given then title1 is a sub-menu with title2 as the menu
item. Command is executed by the shell whenever the
item is selected. An item with an empty command is
displayed as a separator.
delmenu
Forget all menu items.
The standard /lib/wmsetup script executes the script
/usr/username/lib/wmsetup, enabling each user to have their
own window manager configuration.
Normally toolbar packs a menu button referring to the start
menu at the left hand side of the tool bar. The -s option
suppresses that.
The -f option sets the font to use, with $font being checked
if -f is omitted.
The -i option sets the image(6) bitmap to use as the start
menu icon.
Toolbar serves the shared snarf buffer used by cut and paste
in wm(1) applications, except in hosted Inferno where the
host's standard clipboard system is used instead, via
snarf(3). If toolbar cannot find /chan/snarf or the -p

option is given, toolbar will create its own snarf buffer,
private to the set of applications running under the current
instance of wm(1).
