X.Desktop provides a point and click interface for UNIX computers. Using intuitive mouse operations, users can start applicatons, manage their files and access printers and other peripherals. X.Desktop makes the powerful UNIX as user friendly as Macintosh or the Microsoft Windows package. As the leading desktop manager for UNIX computers, X.Desktop's popularity is founded in its ability to shield users form the UNIX command line. It is an integral part of SCO's Open Desktop - a graphical UNIX environment - which had been licensed by many leading vendors. This book is a guide for customizing X.Desktop to match a particular working environment whether it be office, manufacturing or customer service. Each chapter deals with an important aspect of customizing the software in a self-contained way, rather like the recipes in a cookbook. There are two or three examples per chapter to illustrate what can be achieved.
