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 sen (sen@cs.columbia.edu)

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)? | Thanks | sen | (sen@cs.columbia.edu) =Mike -- = Michael K.
