I have a color NCD X-Terminal and motif on a HP/9000/835 with HP-UX7.0 Seems I'm not able to setup the colors in this environment. Whenever I start motif, it uses always the same colors. I tried to edit .Xdefaults to change the colors, nothing happened. I tried to start some X-clients with color options. The only colors I can change are black and white (sometimes). The setup procedure described in the X manual (HP) does not work. The X-Server runs from the NCD-PROM (I do not have tftp yet). What do I have to to for getting MY colors?

Use a .Xresources file, and load it into the server's resource database with xrdb. You should have stopped using .Xdefaults a long time ago. Unfortunately, the Motif documentation seems to have been written by someone who didn't know this. =brian Email rowan@ima.isc.com Phone 617-661-7474 x206 Fax 617-661-2070 upstream from the last bend in the Charles River
