2.5 Window manager
Refer to your machine manual.
The machine tool builder determines the scope of
function and behavior of the window manager.
The control features the Xfce window manager. Xfce is a standard
application for UNIX-based operating systems, and is used to
manage graphical user interfaces. The following functions are
possible with the window manager:
Display a task bar for switching between various applications
(user interfaces)
Manage an additional desktop, on which special applications
from your machine manufacturer can run
Control the focus between NC software applications and those
of the machine manufacturer
You can change the size and position of pop-up windows. It is
also possible to close, minimize and restore pop-up windows
The control shows a star in the upper left of the screen
if an application of the window manager or the window
manager itself has caused an error. In this case, switch
to the window manager and correct the problem. If
required, refer to your machine manual.
