Icons and windows

You will notice that some triggers affect an icon, and some affect the background of a window. A slightly different command is used to define the actions to perform in each case.

Icon triggers require a corresponding trigger_action clause in an icon_rules clause matching that icon. Background triggers require a drop_in_action clause in an icon_rules clause for that window.

Triggers requiring a drop_in_action clause are:

• drop and alt_drop (when referring to windows, not icons)

• report and alt_report

• deselect

• popup_menu
