The following is a list of X resources supported by xosview. Each has a
default value assigned to it. These values can be found in the file Xdefaults
which can be obtained in the source distribution of xosview. They can be
overridden in the usual places (/usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/XOsview,
$HOME/.Xdefaults, etc.).
It should be noted that it is OK to have a resource defined for a
port of xosview that does not support the feature the resource configures.
Xosview will simply ignore the resources that are set for it but not
supported on a given platform.
General Resources
xosview*title: name
The string that xosview will use for the X window title.
Normally xosview will use 'xosview@machine_name' for a title. This resource
overrides the default behavior.
xosview*geometry: geometry_string
This is a standard X geometry string that defines the
size and location of the X window used by xosview.
xosview*display: name
The name of the display where xosview will contact the X
server for drawing its window.
xosview*pixmapName: name
The filename of an X pixmap (xpm) file for use as a
background image.
xosview*captions: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display meter captions.
xosview*labels: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display meter labels.
xosview*meterLabelColor: color
The color to use for the meter labels.
xosview*usedlabels: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display labels that show the
percentage of the resource (or absolute amount, depending on the meter) being
used. This option requires that the labels option also be set to True.
xosview*usedLabelColor: color
The color to use for "used" labels.
xosview*borderwidth: width
The width of the border for the xosview window.
xosview*font: font
This is the font that xosview will use.
xosview*background: color
This is the color that will be used for the
background.
xosview*foreground: color
This is the color that will be used for the
foreground.
xosview*enableStipple: (True or False)
Change to true to try stipple support. This is primarily
for users stuck with 1-bit monitors/display cards. Try setting enableStipple
true. Please give us feedback on this, if you use it. It needs some more work,
but no one has given us any feedback so far.
xosview*graphNumCols: number
This defines the number of sample bars drawn when a meter
is in scrolling graph mode. This also has the side-effect of defining the
width of the graph columns. This is only used by meters which have graph mode
enabled.
Load Meter Resources
xosview*load: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a load meter.
xosview*loadProcColor: color
This is the color that the load meter will use to display

The load meter will use this color to display the idle
field.
xosview*loadPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the
number of tenths of a second that the load meter waits between updates. A
value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the fastest). A
value of 600 would cause xosview to update the meter once a minute.
xosview*loadWarnThreshold: int
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the
value at which the loadmeter changes its status and color from
"normal" to "warning". The default value is the number of
processors.

xosview*lmstemp2: temp2_input
Note: Many sensors have the value and alarm threshold in
files named "*_input" and "*_max"/"*_min",
respectively. In such case, specifying the base name such as
"temp1" here will be enough for having both files used.
Note: If the same file name as lmstempN,

Value to use as alarm temperature, default is
coretempHighest. If a usable value, such as the temperature for which maximum
cooling is required, is supplied by the operating system, it is used
instead.
xosview*coretempActColor: color
Color of actual temperature.
xosview*coretempHighColor: color
Color above alarm temperature, also used to indicate
alarm.
xosview*coretempIdleColor: color
Color between actual and alarm temperatures.
xosview*coretempDisplayType: (separate, average or maximum)
This resource tells xosview how to display the CPU
temperature. The formats work as follows:
separate:
Display one meter for each CPU core of a multi-core CPU.
This is the default.
average:
Display the average of core temperatures of a multi-core
CPU. On multi-socket machines, one meter per physical CPU is displayed.
maximum:
Display the highest core temperature of a multi-core CPU.
On multi-socket machines, one meter per physical CPU is displayed.
xosview*coretempPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the
number of tenths of a second that the coretemp meter waits between updates. A
value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the fastest). A
value of 600 would cause xosview to update the meter once a minute.
xosview*coretempUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display
"used" labels. The formats work as follows:
float:
Display the value as a floating point number.
percent:
Display the value as a percentage of the total.
autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically print the
units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
*BSD Sensor Resources
xosview*bsdsensor: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a bsdsensor
meter.
xosview*bsdsensorHighest: number
Highest value displayed. If not given, or too small, the
meter will adjust to fit actual and alarm values. Can be overridden for any
meter with bsdsensorHighestN.
xosview*bsdsensorActColor: color
Color of actual value.
xosview*bsdsensorHighColor: color
Color above high alarm value, also used to indicate
alarm.
xosview*bsdsensorLowColor: color
Color of actual value, when it is below low alarm
value.
xosview*bsdsensorIdleColor: color
Color between actual and high alarm values.
xosview*bsdsensorN: name.type
xosview*bsdsensorHighN: name.type
xosview*bsdsensorLowN: name.type
These define where the actual value, high alarm value and
low alarm value for meter N=1,2,3,... will be read from. The name is the
sensor driver, and type is the wanted value. Both alarm values are optional,
and can also be given as static numerical values.
You can find the correct pair for OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD with
systat command, e.g.
xosview*bsdsensor1: it0.temp1
xosview*bsdsensorHigh1: 100
On NetBSD, you can find the driver name with envstat command.
Value name for the actual reading is typically 'cur-value' and for high
alarm 'critical-max' and for low alarm 'critical-min', e.g.
xosview*bsdsensor2: coretemp0.cur-value
xosview*bsdsensorHigh2: coretemp0.critical-max
For all possible NetBSD value names, refer to envstat source
code.
FreeBSD has no usable sensor drivers as of version 9.0. However,
ACPI thermal zones can be used by defining the sysctl node below
hw.acpi.thermal, e.g.
xosview*bsdsensor1: tz0.temperature
xosview*bsdsensorHigh1: tz0._CRT
ACPI thermal zones can be used like this on DragonFly BSD as
well.
xosview*bsdsensorLabelN: string
N-th label for above meters, default is
SENN.
xosview*bsdsensorHighestN: number
Override default bsdsensorHighest for meter N.
xosview*bsdsensorUsedFormatN: (float, percent or
autoscale)
Override default bsdsensorUsedFormat for meter N.
xosview*bsdsensorPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the
number of tenths of a second that the bsdsensor meter waits between updates. A
value of 1 has xosview update the meter 10 times per second (the fastest). A
value of 600 would cause xosview to update the meter once a minute.
xosview*bsdsensorUsedFormat: (float, percent or autoscale)
This resource tells xosview how to display
"used" labels. The formats work as follows:
float:
Display the value as a floating point number.
percent:

autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically print the
units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
Battery Meter Resources
xosview*battery: (True or False)
If True then xosview will display a battery meter. Linux
users will need to have APM or ACPI support in their kernels for this to work.
For both APM and ACPI, xosview shows the status/sum of all batteries.
Additionally - the legend text gets changed/adjusted to reflect the current
state (charging/low/critical/etc.) of the battery/batteries.
xosview*batteryLeftColor: color

battery power used.
xosview*batteryChargeColor: color
This is the color that will be used as 'left' - if the
batteries get charged.
xosview*batteryFullColor: color
This is the color that will be used as 'left' - if the
batteries are fully charged. APM and ACPI does provide this info, but not all
machines actually do so.
xosview*batteryLowColor: color
APM only - the 'left' color that will indicate a low
battery. Depends on the machine - e.g. below 25% remaining capacity.
xosview*batteryCritColor: color
APM case: the 'left' color if APM indicates 'critical'
state. (less than 5%) ACPI case: the 'left' color if the remaining capacity is
below the alarm value. (which can be set by the user in
/proc/acpi/battery/BAT[01]/alarm )
xosview*batteryNoneColor: color
