Graphic representation of the read-only and read-write modes

Overview

By default, Objecteering Modeler graphically represents elements in read-only mode through the icon superimposed over the icon representing the model element itself. Elements in read-write mode are simply represented by their icon with no additional mask superimposed.

You can, however, choose to implement a bitmap indicating the read-write status of modeling elements. To do this, you should simply change the name of the "RWmode_optional.png" file, which is delivered as standard in the $OBJING_PATH/res directory, to "RWmode.png".

You can use the bitmap of your choice to represent the read-write state of model elements.

It is also possible to change the read-only mode bitmap, by modifying the "ROmode.png" file in the $OBJING_PATH/res directory.
