[comp.text.desktop] Motif FrameMaker Colors

matsumot@ADS.COM (Michael Matsumoto) (11/28/90)

Okay.  I'll try to do this right this time.

I have a color Sun 3/110 running X11R4.  When I use FrameMaker, the
various control panels, menus, etc., default to the Motif standard
black type on blue background.  (Why this is the default is beyond
me.) This causes beaucoup eyestrain.  Can someone tell me what I
diddle to change this to a nice pastel color?  Needless to say, I am
not an X-person.  How come Frame doesn't provide a widget to adjust
these things?

Add the following to your .xdefaults file:

Maker*background: favorite_color

This changes the color of the Frame control panels in document windows,
dialogs, etc.  There are references for other windows in the FrameMaker
Reference manual, so you can probably change individual windows also,
if desired.

Good luck,
