When window is clicked with a mouse, it is raised and activated.</P> <DT><B>clickToFocus</B><DD><P>Window is raised and focused when titlebar or frame border is clicked. Window is focused but not raised when window interior is clicked.</P> <DT><B>pointerFocus</B><DD><P>When the mouse is moved, focus is set to window under a mouse. It should be possible to change focus with the keyboard when mouse is not moved.</P> <DT><B>explicitFocus</B><DD><P>When a window is clicked, it is activated, but not raised. New windows do not automatically get the focus unless they are transient windows for the active window.</P> <P><EM>I am experimenting with this, to develop something more flexible then clickFocus.</EM></P> </DL> </P> <P>Detailed configuration is possible using the configuration file options.</P> <HR> <A HREF="icewm-5.html">Next</A> <A HREF="icewm-3.html">Previous</A> <A HREF="icewm.html#toc4">Contents</A> </BODY> </HTML>
