1.5 Window Manager
The TNC 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 taskbar for switching between various applications (user
interfaces).
Manage an additional desktop, on which special applications from
your machine tool builder can run.
Control the focus between NC-software applications and those of
the machine tool builder.
The size and position of pop-up windows can be changed. It is also
possible to close, minimize and restore the pop-up windows.
The machine tool builder determines the scope of function
and behavior of the window manager. The machine tool
manual provides further information.
