- There are two set of resource files here. One is based on the
- colors I have been working with for a while (the .tan collec-
- tion), and the other to fit in with a Motif or a NEXTSTEP
- environment (the .gray collection). The latter collection was
- based on colors shipped with NCSA's Motif client.
-
- Both sets move much of the color into the .Xdefaults file, which
- I link to .Xresources, and hence pass through xrdb, which uses
- cpp on them.
-
- I preload a few client-specific resources as well, such as xterm,
- because I want to make sure that these get loaded no m aterre
- what environment I am in.
-
- I have not attempted to recolor all clients. Some of them, such
- as xgopher, xarchie, and llnlxftp, have fairly elaborate color
- schemes, and work well in most environments as-are.
-
- Simply copy the .Xdefaults file of your choice into your home
- directory and link it with .Xresources . Then copy the resource
- files from the preferred color collection into your system or
- user resource directory (see appropriate section in the book)
- such as $HOME/app-defaults.
-
- Finally, there is also a .twmrc file in each directory as well,
- with calm grays in the .gray collection, and heavily color-
- coded, get your attention colors in the .tan collection.
