[comp.windows.x] X11R4 twm window borders.

mcglk@bailey.cpac.washington.edu (Ken McGlothlen) (10/19/90)

Under X11R3/twm, when I moved the cursor into a window, the window border lit
up with whatever highlight color I'd set in my ~/.Xdefaults.  However, twm
under X11R4 doesn't seem to do this at all---I haven't changed anything in
either my ~/.Xdefaults or my ~/.twmrc that would affect this.

Can I get the older behavior?  (Yes, I know---us Neandrathals just can't get
the hang of this newfangled fire-thingy, can we?  :)  )

One thing new in R4 twm is that you can specify client border color in
the twm startup file (.twmrc).  Read the documentation for the twm
vaariables "Color" and "BorderColor" in the twm manual page.  

R4 twm ignores client border color specifications given in other resource files.
