There's a lot of 1-bit Open Look reference imagery in the XView programming manual: https://www.ira.inaf.it/manuals/XViewlProgramming.pdf https://www.ira.inaf.

- kragen 4y agoThanks, that's great! However, I don't think it's usable for my purposes. The one on p. 4 (figure 1-2) is fake, but there seem to be others that are real, like figure 1-6 on p. 13. Some of the others look wrong: the Edit dialog in figure 2-3 on p. 26 is pixelated as it should be, but seems to have resize corners of the wrong shape, extending not quite far enough along each edge. And in figure 2-6 on p. 28, there's what appears to be a real screenshot, but it's been edited to include a broken line. The curiously symmetric-looking pushpin in figure 4-7 on p. 69 seems to be missing its right edge; was that a bug in some version of XView or in the manual? The screenshots in figure 5.4 on p. 92 are totally fake and contain many errors, such as window borders that are the same thickness as resize-corner borders rather than twice as thick, scrollbar arrows that are not vertically centered in the scrollbar slider, solid black scrollbar cables (missing the proportion indicators), and missing cursors in the text windows. Overall I don't feel like this manual is a reliable source for what XView widgets did or didn't look like. So when I see anomalies like, for example, the "Quit" command button in figure 3-1 (p. 45) which has a roundrect shape but with a corner-radius less than half the button's height, instead of exactly the button's height like other command buttons, I don't know whether that's a distinction between regular command buttons and "panel buttons" or just an error.
