Does anyone know how to change the color surrounding the icons in the iconbox without affecting the colors in other windows. This seems to inherit from *Forground, but changing the default for all windows in NOT a reasonable solution. Please send responses by mail to katz@cs.stanford.edu as I do not normally read this group. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Morry Katz katz@cs.stanford.edu -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The name and affect of this resource is not necessarily etched in stone yet. BTW, you don't have to set these to *red*, be creative, and pick you own color. ;-) Carl __________________________________________________________________ Carl S.

Yes, I use a "Gray" for my iconbox*Foreground resource.
Try using these color specifications in your ~/.Xdefaults file.
Mwm*iconImageForeground: Blue2
Mwm*iconImageBackground: Bisque
Mwm*icon*foreground: Black
Mwm*icon*background: LemonChiffon
Mwm*iconbox*clientDecoration: none
Mwm*iconbox*Foreground: MediumSlateBlue
Mwm*iconbox*topShadowColor: ForestGreen
Mwm*iconbox*bottomShadowColor: ForestGreen
These resource setting create a reasonably looking iconbox but I'm sure it
can be improved.
