-
- 1.1 _S_o_u_n_d_s
-
- For sounds to appear correctly in the Indigo Magic Desktop,
- three conditions must hold:
-
- +o Soundscheme must be running. To check if SoundScheme is
- on, use the cccchhhhkkkkccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg command. If it is off, activate
- it with the ssssoooouuuunnnnddddsssscccchhhheeeemmmmeeee command and try cccchhhhkkkkccccoooonnnnffffiiiigggg
- again. If it is still off, it may not be installed;
- see the SoundScheme release notes to install it.
-
- +o The volume must be sufficiently high. To control the
- volume, use the audio customization panel (_a_p_a_n_e_l or
- _a_u_d_i_o_p_a_n_e_l which is available from the Desktop
- toolchest as the Control Audio entry. On Indy systems,
- you can also use the black triangular buttons on the
- front of the workstation to control volume.
-
- +o Indigo Magic Desktop audio feedback must be turned on.
- The toggle for audio feedback is located on the System
- & Desktop Sounds customization panel (_d_t_S_o_u_n_d_s) as the
- Desktop Sounds toggle.
-
- Sounds generated by the X Window System (like the shell
- beep) usually operate independently of both SoundScheme and
- the Desktop panel audio toggle and can not be turned off via
- those two mechanisms. Only by turning down the volume on
- the audio panel can you make the X-generated sounds
- inaudible, but that will have the added effect of making
- inaudible all Indigo Magic Desktop sounds.
-
- In IRIX 6.3 and later releases, you can optionally redirect
- the XKB bells through SoundScheme. To enable this, edit the
- SoundScheme resources file and set ****ddddeeeeffffaaaauuuullllttttBBBBeeeellllllllNNNNaaaammmmeeee:::: BBBBeeeeeeeepppp.
-
- Some icon types are programmed to never use the visual
- launch effect, or to never use the launch sound (see
- _f_t_r(_1)). Namely, none of the device icons uses the visual
- launch effect, and none of the sound icons uses the launch
- sound. Such icons will never exhibit visual or auditory
- launch behavior when they are double-clicked, even when the
- Launch Effect toggle is checked on the _d_e_s_k_t_o_p customization
- panel or when the Desktop Sounds toggle is checked on the
- _d_t_S_o_u_n_d_s customization panel.
-
- The default sound scheme uses percussive sounds. These
- sounds play for many file manager operations, including
- opening a folder, removing an icon to the dumpster, removing
- an icon permanently, copying an icon, moving an icon into a

- directory view, and putting away an icon.
-
- The default sound scheme is /_u_s_r/_s_h_a_r_e/_d_a_t_a/_s_o_u_n_d_s/
- _s_o_u_n_d_s_c_h_e_m_e/_s_c_h_e_m_e_s/_d_e_f_a_u_l_t_S_c_h_e_m_e._s_s and the sound files
- referenced in that scheme file are in the /_u_s_r/_s_h_a_r_e/_d_a_t_a/
- _s_o_u_n_d_s/_s_o_u_n_d_s_c_h_e_m_e/_s_o_u_n_d_f_i_l_e_s directory. Modifying the
- settings in the scheme file will change the desktop sounds
- for all users on the machine.
-
- Currently, to change a sound in the default scheme you need
- to do the following:
-
- +o Become root, then change your directory to
- /_u_s_r/_s_h_a_r_e/_d_a_t_a/_s_o_u_n_d_s/_s_o_u_n_d_s_c_h_e_m_e/_s_c_h_e_m_e_s.
-
- +o Copy _d_e_f_a_u_l_t_S_c_h_e_m_e._s_s to _d_e_f_a_u_l_t_S_c_h_e_m_e._s_s._b_a_k as a
- backup, in case you want to revert to the original
- scheme in the future.
-
- +o Place your new sound file into the aforementioned
- _s_o_u_n_d_f_i_l_e_s directory, if it's not already there.
-
- +o Edit the _d_e_f_a_u_l_t_S_c_h_e_m_e._s_s file, and change the
- appropriate ....ssssoooouuuunnnnddddffffiiiilllleeee name to be the filename of your
- new sound file.
-
- +o Kill and restart SoundScheme with the kkkkiiiillllllllaaaallllllll
- ssssoooouuuunnnnddddsssscccchhhheeeemmmmeeee and ssssoooouuuunnnnddddsssscccchhhheeeemmmmeeee commands, respectively, or
- by logging out and logging back in.
-
- Future IRIX releases may overwrite the scheme and sound
- files in these directories.
-
- The search tool uses its own scheme file to produce sounds.
- This scheme file, _s_e_a_r_c_h_b_o_o_k._s_s, is shipped in the
- (optional) desktop_eoe.sw.share subsystem. If the search
- tool does not produce audio feedback even when the three
- aforementioned conditions hold, then you may need to install
- that subsystem on your machine.

- 1.2 _C_o_l_o_r__S_c_h_e_m_e_s
-
-
- Color schemes changed between IRIX 5.2 and IRIX 6.4 for
- Origin, Onyx2, and OCTANE. In 5.2, there were twelve color
- schemes named after artists and the desktop tools only
- responded to the default scheme. The way you selected a
- scheme was to set the resource ****sssscccchhhheeeemmmmeeee:::: <<<<nnnnaaaammmmeeee>>>> in your
- ._X_d_e_f_a_u_l_t_s file. Now there is an expanded set of eighteen

-
-
- schemes supported that are named after places. The desktop
- tools now respond to all scheme selections, and the
- appropriate way to choose your scheme is to use the schemes
- browser accessible from the Desktop toolchest by choosing
- Customize and then Color Schemes.
-
- The scheme browser will allow you to see a small sample
- picture of each system scheme before selecting the one you
- want for your entire desktop. Before using the scheme
- browser to set your scheme choice, you may need to remove
- the ****sssscccchhhheeeemmmmeeee:::: <<<<nnnnaaaammmmeeee>>>> setting from your ._X_d_e_f_a_u_l_t_s file so
- that the two mechanisms for setting your scheme preference
- don't clash. Then select the scheme browser from the
- toolchest. Click on any scheme name to preview a sample of
- that scheme. Click on Apply to select that scheme for use
- in your environment. Any scheme-smart application started
- after this point will use your new scheme designation.
