[comp.windows.x.motif] Black and White monitors

sen@cs.columbia.edu (Soumitra Sengupta) (09/07/90)

I am a newcomer to the Motif world. What is the simplest way to get mwm
to recognize a black and white monitor and adjust accordingly so that borders
and buttons do not look like a bad negative of a picture? Is there a single
option (or a single set of options) some place to set instead of -fg 
and -bg and -bd options in each and every program? I was trying RS/6000 
AIXWindows mwm from a black and white Sun-2 monitor => unknown but limited
pixel depths, I am sure :-(

Thanks

	Mwm and the Motif toolkit should default to reasonable defaults,
	whether a monochrome, static gray, or color monitor.  Try running
	without any 'Mwm' resources set.  The defaults should not appear
	"like a bad negative".  What version of mwm are you running (i.e.
	1.1 or 1.0)?
