### 5.12. Mouse Style Manager

Mouse Style Manager tool manages pointer - that is, mouse settings. It's duties are few more than only xset(1) m command. Namely:

- Mouse acceleration (xset)

- Threshold (xset)

- Double-Click

- Handedness (xmodmap)

Acceleration and Threshold are standard xset(1) m options and man page for xset(1) should be consulted.

Handedness can be set to flip left and right mouse button functions, while Double Click is in fact most complex: it has test area where user can test double click speed (pixmap will change on double-click success), and this setting is changing:

- FVWM MenuStyle DoubleClick value (`$FVWM_USERDIR/NsCDE.conf`)

- X Resources multiClickTime resource in `$FVWM_USERDIR/Xdefaults.mouse`

- Qt/KDE settings in `$HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals` (or similar path) if found

- Gtk2 (`$HOME/.gtkrc-2.0`) if file exists

- Gtk3 (`$HOME/.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini`) if file exists

Double-Click value is in milliseconds in all mentioned configurations. Apply button applies xset and xmodmap values set in runtime, but not double-click settings.

Save button saves changes in `$FVWM_USERDIR/Xset.conf` and all other optional files for widget and FVWM integration. Default button will set handedness for right-handed, double-click on 450, acceleration on 60, and threshold on 8, apply xset and xmodmap values, FVWM MenuStyle DoubleClickTime and will warp pointer to Save button for actions to be written in config files.
