Two OpenWindows questions. 1. Windows with a non-white background take a long time to redraw (I am using this on a Sun 386i.) Is there a way to make the redraw faster? Perhaps making use of a backing store facility? I couldn't get any help from the manuals. 2. Is there a way to specify the border color for a particular window? The OpenWindows.windowColor resource sets the color for all windows but I want each window to have a different border color. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

I have a couple of OpenWindows questions: I am new to X so hope these are not too trivial. 1) Opening remote windows. I have two machines: vulcan (4/260, OS 4.0.3) and photon (4/110, OS 4.0.3) which both mount /usr/openwin from abacus (4/65, OS 4.1). I want to run fire up a window on vulcan from a client running on abacus. ( photon% setenv DISPLAY vulcan:0 photon% xclient ) Now I have used xauth to extract the entries for the remote machine in each case and merged these entries into the remote .Xauthority files. When I first do this all is fine and I can fire up the remote window. However when I next run /usr/openwin/bin/openwin on vulcan the key in the .Xauthority file is changed and of course I can then no longer contact the X server. Why this is happening? 2) Fonts. I use two screen types: a high-res mono and a colour screen. On the mono screen all the clients use a font which is too small for me to read. (I presume the fonts are scaled by pixel size.) Can I, a) globally change the default font (like DEFAULT_FONT in sunview) b) change the font used by any tool (ie shell tool). Any help much appreciated.
