How do you use resources to alter the appearances of children of
XmSelectionBoxes? For example, suppose I have a XmPromptDialog
XmSelectionBox and it has a text input area and two
buttons, the default button (with the label "save") and the cancel
button (with the label "abort"). How do I, for instance, make the
background of the default button green?
I tried things like:
*XmSelectionBox*save*background: green
but that had no effect (the *name* of the button isn't "save", that's
only its label).
*XmSelectionBox*defaultButton*background: green
also had no effect, although I had had higher hopes for that (apparently
defaultButton is neither the button's name or class, so it had no effect).
*XmSelectionBox*ok*background: green
*XmSelectionBox*OK*background: green
*XmSelectionBox*Ok*background: green
also had no effect.
Can anyone help me?

You are trying to set a different background for a gadget (that's what are
the Label children of BulletinBoard in general), you can't.
You could try setting the labelString or other gadgetable resources, it works.
(BTW, the name of the button are "OK", "Cancel" ..., the ones given in
the guide)
