It provides networking support, an X Window System extension, a Macintosh Application Services extension, and Motif.

Since applications typically require a number of standard widgets such as buttons, menus, etc., they usually rely on a library such as Xaw and Motif that provides such widgets, rather than implementing them directly using Xt.

OLIT was built on the same Xt ( X Intrinsics ) base as Motif, and XView used the same APIs as Sun's earlier SunView window system.

The Common Desktop Environment ( CDE ) is a desktop environment for Unix and OpenVMS, based on the Motif widget toolkit.

It currently has dependencies on non-free software, as it requires either the proprietary Motif widget toolkit, or the alternative royalty-free ( but not free software ) Open Motif toolkit.

IRIX used the Indigo Magic Desktop, which by default used the 4Dwm X window manager with a custom look designed using the Motif widget toolkit.

CDE was an X11-based user environment jointly developed by HP, IBM, and Sun through the X / Open consortium, with an interface and productivity tools based on the Motif graphical widget toolkit.

In 1995 it took on the development of the Motif toolkit and of the Common Desktop Environment for Unix systems.

* The Motif GUI widget toolkit ( used in CDE )

Other technologies developed by OSF include Motif and Distributed Computing Environment ( DCE ), respectively a widget toolkit and package of distributed network computing technologies.

The Motif toolkit was adopted as a formal standard within the IEEE as P1295 in 1994.

Data Display Debugger, or DDD, is a popular free software ( under the GNU GPL ) graphical user interface ( using the Motif toolkit ) for command-line debuggers such as GDB, DBX, JDB, HP Wildebeest Debugger ( WDB ), XDB, the Perl debugger, the Bash debugger, the Python debugger, and the GNU Make debugger.

In computing, Motif refers to both a graphical user interface ( GUI ) specification and the widget toolkit for building applications that follow that specification under the X Window System on Unix and other POSIX-compliant systems.

Motif the toolkit is the first.

Sun began by offering the Motif developer toolkit and mwm window manager as a standalone product for use with Sun's Solaris Operating System until CDE was released in 1995.

* Motif ( widget toolkit ), a graphical user interface toolkit used in software development

4Dwm is derived from the older mwm window manager and uses the Motif widget toolkit on top of the X Window System found on most Unix systems.

James Gosling, the creator of the Java language, has argued that SWT is too simple, and that SWT is a difficult toolkit to port to new platforms for the same reason that AWT used to have porting problems: that it is too simple, too low level, and too tied to the Win32 GUI API, leading to problems adapting the SWT API to other GUI toolkits, such as Motif and OS X Carbon.

Its user interface is built using the Motif toolkit, which made it an immediate success with a wide range of proprietary Unix platforms whose user interface use the toolkit.

PPI / Stepstone enjoyed modest success not only supplying semi -" object oriented " software, but also among those who wanted an ANSI C compiler on platforms that didn't otherwise support one — the Objective-C compiler spit out code to be fed to the native C compiler, which often was K & R C. The ICpak 201 interface toolkit was submitted to the Open Software Foundation as a candidate for their interface standard but was not expected to win over Motif.

Open Motif ( or, unofficially, OpenMotif ) is a source code release of the Motif computer programming toolkit by The Open Group, the current owners of Motif.

The Solaris 11 release in November 2011 only contains GNOME as a full desktop, though some CDE libraries, such as Motif and Tooltalk, remain for binary compatibility.

) In 2006, a petition was created asking The Open Group to release the source code for CDE and Motif under a free license.

This version also provide shell-level mappings for Motif widgets.

As part of this agreement, Sun and AT & T became OSF sponsor members, OSF submitted Motif to the X / Open Consortium for certification and branding and Novell passed control and licensing of the UNIX trademark to the X / Open Consortium.

The Motif look and feel is distinguished by its use of square, chiseled, three-dimensional effects for its various user interface elements — menus, buttons, sliders, text boxes, and the like.

It was used for several years, almost exclusively by AT & T and Lucent Technologies, who wanted to give their existing OPEN LOOK applications a Motif look and feel.

The unified desktop for this initiative became the Common Desktop Environment ( CDE ), and the look and feel chosen for it was based on Motif.

The song originally was not a song but a composition for piano without lyrics, written by Mikhail Glinka and entitled in French, " Motif de chant national.

MoOLIT ( Motif OPEN LOOK Intrinsics Toolkit ) is a graphical user interface library and application programming interface ( API ) created by Unix System Laboratories in an attempt to create a bridge between the two competing look-and-feels for Unix workstations at the time: OPEN LOOK and OSF Motif.

Their MoOLIT 5. 1 product included full Motif support for the traditional OLIT widgets not implemented in the USL version.

Making use of abstract symbols Action Stroke Dance Notation is visually similar to Motif notation, a subset of Labannotation that is also designed for speed of writing.

Motif sign for Whole Body

The IRIX Interactive Desktop uses the Motif widget toolkit on top of the X Window System found on most Unix systems.

The primary environment was based on HP's VUE ( Visual User Environment ), itself derived from the Motif Window Manager ( mwm ).

The Distributed Computing Environment is a component of the OSF offerings, along with Motif and Distributed Management Environment ( DME ).

** CDE 1. 0 became the default GUI environment, replacing Motif Window Manager.

in September 1995, the merger of Motif and CDE into a single project, CDE / Motif, was announced.

Further standards efforts such as Motif and CDE did not alleviate problems.

In September 1995, the merger of OSF / Motif and CDE into a single project, CDE / Motif, was announced.

However, all major Unix GUI environments / toolkits ( whether or not based on the X Window System ) have featured varying levels of CUA compatibility, with Motif / CDE explicitly featuring it as a design goal.

As part of the COSE initiative, it was decided that Sun ’ s bundled applications would be ported yet again, this time to the Motif widget toolkit, and the result would be part of CDE.

XView was later abandoned by Sun in favor of Motif ( the basis of CDE ), and more recently GTK + ( the basis of GNOME ).

The alliance chose the Motif look and feel as its standard, and Sun announced it would phase out OpenWindows in favor of the new COSE desktop environment, which came to be known as CDE.
