Apollo Rel. 1.9 User's Manual
If a region is selected, the layouts which categories match (or which have the general category) are indicated by
a green bullet. If in addition the layout is already loaded, then the green bullet gets ticked. In case there is no
permission to save the layout (read only) , the layout is indicated by a red crossed bullet.
When entering a new name, or assigning an existing layout (name) to a new region, only the
option Include windows that don't belong to a region is available.
Layouts should only be saved under an existing name when this layout is loaded on the Dis-
play Wall.
The following properties of a window are saved:
new window window of the loaded layout
Title Yes Yes (unchanged)
Window class Yes Yes (unchanged)
Shortcut No Yes (unchanged)
Position Yes Yes
size Yes Yes
Window state Yes Yes*)
description Yes yes
Category (selected region) Yes yes
If the title includes special characters, the layout has to be revised using the Layout Editor, see
Identifying windows.
Use the Layout Editor to define the associated shortcut!
*)
If a layout has been loaded with invisible windows (i.e. the respective applications have not been launched yet),
and is then saved as a new layout, the then invisible windows will be saved with window state MINIMIZED re-
gardless of the assigned window state. To assign the desired window state, use the LayoutEditor, please!
Invisible windows of a layout will always be saved with window state minimized!
If a layout is saved as a new layout, the advanced options Topmost, Sizable, Visible, Show title bar, will be
explicitly set or cleared, even if these options in the original layout are grayed. These options will be set as the
Desktop server “sees” them.
Any locked database has to be unlocked by the Desktop Server before changes can be saved. Unlock a database
with Save and share Database in the Edit menu of the Layout Editor
