[ Sorry if this appears twice. Our local feed hiccuped ] A contool user wonders why contool*window.color.background: yellow fails to work, while *window.color.background: yellow works, but for all windows. How do you tell XView what the instance name of the application for resource manager purposes? Or should the user have used contool*color.background: yellow instead? How is this supposed to work? -- Chuck Musciano ARPA : chuck@trantor.harris-atd.com Harris Corporation Usenet: ...!uunet!x102a!trantor!chuck PO Box 37, MS 3A/1912 AT&T : (407) 727-6131 Melbourne, FL 32902 FAX : (407) 729-2537 A good newspaper is never good enough, but a lousy newspaper is a joy forever. -- Garrison Keillor

Resource usage follows a more explicit model that puts more "control" in the hands of the app. You can make global resources (like window.color) app specific either through application explicit calls to xrm*() or by specifying the specific resource on the command-line when invoking the application... % contool -xrm "window.color.backround: yellow" & --- Tom Jacobs ARPA: tomj@Eng.Sun.com Windows & Graphics Software UUCP: sun!tomj Sun Microsystems, Inc.
