Hi,
On the Autoraise issue I has 'suggested' to apple that they add a user
preference to allow the autoraise function to be disabled. They
obviously are not interested as indicated by the response below.
My question is, I need both good pseudo-color support for legacy apps
and the behavior that making autoraise is not active so a selection can
be made in a window without that window coming to the front. Does
anyone know what wm will do that on 10.3.2?
The Apple tech either was not aware it is there or s/he is not allowed
to make it public, Apple figuring geeks need no tech help anyway ;-)
quartz-wm itself allows to do that indeed. The window focus that
follows the mouse between terminal windows is added (in a hidden
manner) to the 10.3 Terminal application. From the Terminal, type:
defaults write com.apple.Terminal FocusFollowsMouse -string YES
Quit and restart the Terminal. After this focus follows mouse: no need
to click.
On a similar way you get the same behavior with X11 windows:
defaults write com.apple.x11 wm_ffm true
after than X11 get focus with mouse hovering without the need to click
anywhere on the window.
Someone once suggested to use the keyboard to select the Terminal
window (Cmnd-#). Sorry to say pal, you did not get it: window is still
raised that way!
