====9.11 Override window manager====
- skip taskbar, sticky, layer, border
**Window on top**
echo -n '<window type-hint="6" window-position="1">
<edit justification="2" cursor-visible="false">
<default>"
This window stays on top
Has no window decoration
Can not be resized
Can not be moved
"</default>
</edit>
<button></button>
</vbox>
</window>'|gtkdialog -s
**JWM - specific**
This is how to override default settings in your JWM configuration.
Your gtkdialog gui must be called with the ##--class parameter##
##gtkdialog --class=APPLET -f myfile##
Then this code must be in your jwm configuration file - ##$HOME/.jwmrc## (to be set permanently, it must be added to ##/etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc##)
<Group>
<Class>APPLET</Class>
<Option>nolist</Option>
<Option>sticky</Option>
<Option>noborder</Option>
<Option>layer:above</Option>
- ##nolist## does avoid your app showing up in the taskbar.
- ##sticky## shows your app on all desktops.
- ##noborder## is equal to the gtkdialog attribute ##<window decorated="false">##.
- ##layer:n## defines if other windows should cover your app, or if it should be on top. below, normal or above.

Sometimes it is nice to change the gtktheme just for my app. Like this I get more options for my gtkdialog script.
Gtkdialog does not support monospace in the ##<edit>## widget, but I can make it work by adding a unique gtk-theme only for my app. The best way to this is to add my new gtk-theme on top of the already existing. Now my gtk-theme can hold ONLY information about monospace, else it will use gtk-settings specified by user.
By giving the text-widget a name (see example), it is possible to have a gtk-theme for only this unique text string. This also works for text in widgets like ##<entry>##.
echo 'style "specialmono"
{
font_name="Mono 12"
}
widget "*mono" style "specialmono"
class "GtkText*" style "specialmono"' > /tmp/gtkrc_mono
export GTK2_RC_FILES=/tmp/gtkrc_mono:/root/.gtkrc-2.0
export test_app="
<text name=\"mono\"><label>This text-widget uses monospace font....</label></text>
<text><label>...while this text-widget don't.</label></text>
<edit><default>All edit-widgets gets monospace.</default></edit>
</vbox>"
gtkdialog --program=test_app
