Window Manager
With the Window Manager, you manage functions of the HEROS operating system as well as windows opened in the third desktop, such as CAD Viewer.
The control features the Xfce window manager. Xfce is a standard application for UNIX-based operating systems, and is used to manage graphical user interfaces. The following functions are possible with the window manager:
- Display a taskbar for switching between various applications (user interfaces)
- Manage an additional desktop, on which special applications from your machine manufacturer can run
- Control the focus between NC software applications and those of the machine manufacturer
- You can change the size and position of pop-up windows. It is also possible to close, minimize and restore pop-up windows
If a window is opened in the third desktop, the control displays the Window Manager icon in the information bar. You can switch between the open applications by selecting the icon.
You can minimize the control's user interface by pulling down from the information bar. The TNC bar and the OEM bar remain visible.
Notes
- If a window is opened in the third desktop, the control displays an icon in the information bar.
- The machine manufacturer determines the scope of function and behavior of the window manager.
- The control shows a star in the upper left of the screen if an application of the window manager or the window manager itself has caused an error. In this case, switch to the window manager and correct the problem. If required, refer to your machine manual.
