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.
GeneralResources
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. This is a bitmap font rendered at the X server. To list
the available fonts, use xlsfonts(1), and rehash the list with xset(1).
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.
LoadMeterResources
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 average when it is below the

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*loadCritThreshold: int
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the value at which the loadmeter changes its
status and color from "warning" to "critical". The default value is four times the warning
threshold.
xosview*loadDecay: (True or False)

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.
*BSDSensorResources
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:

autoscale:
Display the absolute value and automatically print the units (K, M, or G) as appropriate.
BatteryMeterResources
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
This is the color that will be used to show the amount of battery power left.
xosview*batteryUsedColor: color
This is the color that will be used to show the amount of 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
If no battery is present - or all batteries get removed (while on AC).
xosview*batteryPriority: priority
This number (which must be an integer >= 1) sets the number of tenths of a second that the battery
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.
