Has anyone tried to set the Mwm*XTerm*iconImageBackground: using the -xrm option with an xterm. What I would like is to have the icon foreground color to be the same as the foreground color of the xterm and likewise for the background color. I have a different color for each xterm that is rlogged into a different machine on our network and so I would like to apply these colors to the xterm icons as well as the xterms themselves. It seems that the xterm does not listen to commands like: xterm -xrm "Mwm*XTerm*iconImageBackground: blue" Anyone know why?? Anyone know of any way of doing something like this?? I would like to also have my icons change in some way, (i.e. color, title..) when output to the xterm has occurred and the xterm is iconified. Anyone know how to do this? Ben Chigier. ben@nynexst.com

It will have no effect on the copy of the resource database that mwm is using. > Anyone know of any way of doing something like this?? I can't think of one without hacking xterm to provide an icon_window instead of an icon pixmap. Then xterm could simply use the same colors for the icon_window that it uses for its VT100 window. > I would like to also have my icons change in some way, (i.e. color, title..) when output to the xterm has occurred and the xterm is iconified. Anyone know how to do this? Once again, not without hacking xterm to change icon pixmaps or change the contents of an icon window. -- (I kid you not)Tom LaStrange toml@Solbourne.COM

Because this is a resource for mwm, not xterm. Try 'mwm -xrm "Mwm*XTerm*iconImageBackground: blue"' instead. Since you want different colors for each of your xterms, use something like the following: Mwm*one*iconImageBackground: red Mwm*two*iconImageBackground: yellow etc. Then start each of your xterms with a different name: xterm -name one xterm -name two Andrew _______________________________________________________________________________ Andrew Wason Bell Communications Research aw@bae.bellcore.com Piscataway, NJ bellcore!bae!aw
