[comp.windows.x] Cursor colors and Xt/Xaw

anton@POSTGRES.BERKELEY.EDU (Jeff Anton) (03/12/89)

Is there any way to express cursor color for a widget via a resource
in the toolkit?  I can only find cursor shape options which call
XCreateFontCursor which is documented to require an extra call to
XRecolorCursor to has colors other than a black foreground and a white
background.  I can't find any calls to XRecolorCursor in the X11R3 toolkit.

I normaly run with *Foreground: white and *Background: black and this
gives me poor cursors.

Any widget writer can put a cursorColor resource in his widget, but the
Athena widgets to not have this resource.
