Starting Xtools for the first time: Go to the Applications folder, and start Xtools by double clicking it in Finder. Wait for the server to start up completely before proceding.

Click on the 'New...' button to add a new entry. A new entry named 'NewXApp' Will appear in the 'Applications' box. Select this entry. Replace the name 'NewXApp' with the deisired name, and enter the path to the application in the box labled 'Application Path.' Enter any command line options in the box labled 'Options.'

Clients may be executed remotely, but this process is not automated. To execute remotely, you have to log into the remote machine, set the DISPLAY environment variable to the Xtools host, and start the X11 client there.

Some problems have been encountered when resizing windows; only resize windows that have focus. Windows will also often "imprint" themselves into the space owned by other window while being moved.

"Allow Remote Users" has been moved to the application Preferences à Remote Users tab, however, if you are installing over an earlier version of Xtools, "Allow remote users" may persist as an menu item in the Applications menu. We suggest that you open the "Configure…" option in the Application menu and remove it, if it is there. Do not change the screen resolution or color depth while Xtools is running. It's ok to shut Xtools down, change the resolution or depth, and then restart Xtools. As this is a beta, there are occasional crashes. …
