[comp.windows.x.motif] Motif window bevel

bob@odi.com (Bob Miner) (10/16/90)

     I would like to be able to change the width of the shadows (bevels) on
     the windows displayed by mwm.  My travels into the code of Motif 1.1,
     lead me to believe that all these values are either hard code, or
     calculated internally -- ie. there are no resources to specify them.
     Is my interpertation of the code correct, or has someone found a way
     to do it?

If all you want to do is change the width of the border, then the following
resource specification in your .Xdefaults will do it:

Mwm*resizeBorderWidth:			6

Personally, I use this plus the following to give various window types
different colors (this is on a color Sun 3/60):

Mwm*matteWidth:				6
Mwm*icon*foreground:			Black
Mwm*icon*background:			#d0d0b8
Mwm*xterm*matteBackground:		PaleGreen
Mwm*emacs*matteBackground:		#ccb0b0
Mwm*xload*matteBackground:		#d0d0b8
Mwm*xclock*matteBackground:		#d0d0b8
Mwm*xbiff*matteBackground:		#d0d0b8
