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

 108           </center><br />
 109           <br />
 110           There are three styles of window focusing:<br />
 111           <br />
 112           <b>Click-to-Focus</b>,or manual focus mode. In click-to-focus mode, you explicitly choose the window that should be
 113           focused. This is the default mode.<br />
 114           <br />
 115           <b>Focus-Follow-Mouse</b>,or auto-focus mode. In this mode, the focused window is chosen based on the position of the
 116           mouse pointer. The window below the mouse pointer is always the focused window.<br />
 117           <br />
 118           <b>Sloppy-Focus</b>,or semi-auto-focus mode. This is similar to the focus-follow-mouse mode, but if you move the
 119           pointer from a window to the root window, the window will not loose focus.<br />
 120           <br />
 121           You can choose between these modes with the <i>FocusMode</i> option<br />
 122           <br />
 123           <br />
 124           <br />

 126
 127           <ul type="disc">
 128             <li><font face="Helvetica">Click on the titlebar, resizebar or in the client area of the window with the left or
 129             right mouse button.<br />

 131             OR<br />

 133
 134             <li><font face="Helvetica">Click on the titlebar with the middle mouse button. This will focus the window without
 135             bringing it to the front.<br />

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

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

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