OPEN LOOK User-interface
Compliance
This appendix lists the ways that the XView Toolkit is not compliant with the OPEN LOOK
Graphical User Interface Functional Specification. It is not a complete list of the ways that
OpenWindows 3.0 is not an OPEN LOOK UI-compliant environment. OPEN LOOK UI com-
pliance has two components: toolkit compliance and environment compliance.
An OPEN LOOK UI-compliant toolkit allows a developer to write an application that will be
OPEN LOOK UI-compliant if run with an OPEN LOOK UI window manager. The toolkit
might also support the application running successfully with, for example, a MOTIF win-
dow manager, but in such a configuration, the application would not be OPEN LOOK UI-com-
pliant. An OPEN LOOK UI-compliant environment consists of an OPEN LOOK UI window
manager, file manager, workspace properties window, and other such utility programs. To
guarantee an OPEN LOOK UI application, the developer must write the application with an
OPEN LOOK UI-compliant toolkit and run the application in an OPEN LOOK UI-compliant
environment.
This list is in three parts. The first part consists of those features missing from XView 3.0
that are specified as Level 1 OPEN LOOK UI features. The second part lists some of the
Level 2 OPEN LOOK UI features supported by XView 3.0. The third part lists the rest of the
Level 2 OPEN LOOK UI features, which are not supported by XView 3.0.
