  92           Windows can be in two states: <i>focused</i> , or <i>unfocused.</i> The focused window (also called the key or active
  93           window) has a black titlebar and is the window that receives keyboard input, ie: where you can type text. Usually it's
  94           the window where you work on. Only one window may be focused at a time. Unfocused windows have a light gray titlebar.
  95           Some applications have a special type of window, called dialog windows transient windows or panels. When these windows
  96           are active, the window that owns them (the main window) get a dark gray titlebar. As soon as the dialog window is
  97           closed, the focus is returned to the owner window.<br />
  98           <br />
  99           <br />
 100           The image below shows an active Open File panel and it's owner window.<br />

 105           </center><br />
 106           <br />
 107           There are three styles of window focusing:<br />
 108           <br />
 109           <b>Click-to-Focus</b>,or manual focus mode. In click-to-focus mode, you explicitly choose the window that should be
 110           focused. This is the default mode.<br />
 111           <br />
 112           <b>Focus-Follow-Mouse</b>,or auto-focus mode. In this mode, the focused window is chosen based on the position of the
 113           mouse pointer. The window below the mouse pointer is always the focused window.<br />
 114           <br />
 115           <b>Sloppy-Focus</b>,or semi-auto-focus mode. This is similar to the focus-follow-mouse mode, but if you move the
 116           pointer from a window to the root window, the window will not loose focus.<br />
 117           <br />
 118           You can choose between these modes with the <i>FocusMode</i> option<br />
 119           <br />
 120           <br />
 121           <br />
 122           <font face="Helvetica"><b>To focus a window in click-to-focus mode:</b></font>
 123
 124           <ul type="disc">
 125             <li><font face="Helvetica">Click on the titlebar, resizebar or in the client area of the window with the left or
 126             right mouse button.<br />

 128             OR<br />
 129             <br /></font></li>
 130
 131             <li><font face="Helvetica">Click on the titlebar with the middle mouse button. This will focus the window without
 132             bringing it to the front.<br />

 137             <li><font face="Helvetica">Open the window list menu and select the window to focus.</font></li>
 138           </ul><br />
 139           When you click in the client area of an inactive window to set the focus, the click is normally processed by the
 140           application. If you find this behaviour a little confusing, you can make the application ignore this click by using the
 141           <i>IgnoreFocusClick</i> option.<br />

 169           Dialog/transient windows are always placed over their owner windows, unless the <i>OnTopTransients</i> option is

 171           specific windows have this attribute use the <i>AlwaysOnTop</i> window option or set it in the Window Inspector
 172           panel.<br />
