- There are two set of resource files here. One is based on
- the colors I have been working with for a while (the .tan
- collection), 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.
