To customise the size and position of various windows of Netscape Communicator® 4.x, you can use the following geometry names. Add all or a part of the following values to the file ~/.Xdefaults in your home directory.
! Navigator main window (browser) Netscape.Navigator.geometry: ! Mail- and news-reader window Netscape.MailThread.geometry: ! Netscape message centre (list of mail and news folders) Netscape.MailFolder.geometry: ! Netscape HTML editor Netscape.Editor.geometry: ! Composition window (writing of new email's and/or news) Netscape.Composition.geometry: ! Address book Netscape.AddressBook.geometry: ! Window to edit the bookmarks Netscape.bookmarks.geometry: |
The above rules are case sensitive. If you want the above rules to be global for all users, you can add them to the file /path/to/netscape/Netscape.ad. Then change to the directory /usr/X11/lib/X11/app-defaults and add a link to this file here:
ln -s /path/to/netscape/Netscape.ad Netscape |
The above link makes sure, that it points always to the correct version of Netscape.ad, especially if you ever install a new version of Netscpe Communicator.
