1 ! This is a sample .Xdefaults file. The resources below are the
2 ! actual resources used as defaults for XEmacs, although the
3 ! form of these resources in the XEmacs app-defaults file is
6 ! You can use the examples below as a basis for your own customizations:
7 ! copy and modify any of the resources below into your own ~/.Xdefaults file.
8 ! .Xdefaults specifies defaults for all applications, not just XEmacs; it is
9 ! normally used to customize fonts, colors, and the like, while ~/.emacs is
10 ! used to change other sorts of (XEmacs-specific) behavior.
12 ! In general, changes to your .Xdefaults file will not take effect until the
13 ! next time you restart the window system. To reload your resources
14 ! explicitly, use the shell command
16 ! xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
18 ! The resources will take effect the next time you restart XEmacs. (Simply
19 ! creating a new xemacs frame is not enough - you must restart the editor
20 ! for the changes to take effect.)
24 ! Colors and backgrounds.
25 ! ======================
26 ! The contrasts of these colors will cause them to map to the appropriate
27 ! one of "black" or "white" on monochrome systems.
29 ! The valid color names on your system can be found by looking in the file
30 ! `rgb.txt', usually found in /usr/lib/X11/ or /usr/openwin/lib/X11/.
32 ! Set the foreground and background colors of the `default' face.
33 ! The default face colors are the base for most of the other faces'
34 ! colors. The default background is gray80, and the default foreground
36 Emacs.default.attributeBackground: gray80
37 Emacs.default.attributeForeground: black
39 ! Set the modeline colors.
40 Emacs.modeline*attributeForeground: Black
41 Emacs.modeline*attributeBackground: Gray75
43 ! Set the color of the text cursor.
44 Emacs.text-cursor*attributeBackground: Red3
46 ! If you want to set the color of the mouse pointer, do this:
47 ! Emacs.pointer*attributeForeground: Black
48 ! If you want to set the background of the mouse pointer, do this:
49 ! Emacs.pointer*attributeBackground: White
50 ! Note that by default, the pointer foreground and background are the same
51 ! as the default face.
53 ! Set the menubar colors. This overrides the default foreground and
54 ! background colors specified above.
55 Emacs*menubar*Foreground: Gray30
56 Emacs*menubar*Background: Gray75
57 ! This is for buttons in the menubar.
58 ! Yellow would be better, but that would map to white on monochrome.
59 Emacs*menubar.buttonForeground: Blue
60 Emacs*XlwMenu.selectColor: ForestGreen
61 Emacs*XmToggleButton.selectColor: ForestGreen
63 ! Specify the colors of popup menus.
64 Emacs*popup*Foreground: Black
65 Emacs*popup*Background: Gray75
67 ! Specify the colors of the various sub-widgets of the dialog boxes.
68 Emacs*dialog*Foreground: Black
69 ! #A5C0C1 is a shade of blue
70 Emacs*dialog*Background: #A5C0C1
71 ! The following three are for Motif dialog boxes ...
72 Emacs*dialog*XmTextField*Background: WhiteSmoke
73 Emacs*dialog*XmText*Background: WhiteSmoke
74 Emacs*dialog*XmList*Background: WhiteSmoke
75 ! While this one is for Athena dialog boxes.
76 Emacs*dialog*Command*Background: WhiteSmoke
78 ! Athena dialog boxes are sometimes built with the Xaw3d
79 ! variant of the Athena toolkit.
80 ! XEmacs being nice to 8bit displays, it defaults to:
81 Emacs*dialog*Command*beNiceToColormap: true
82 ! If you are shocked by the ugliness of the 3d rendition,
83 ! you may want to set (even on 8bit displays) the above to false.
85 ! Xlw Scrollbar colors
86 Emacs*XlwScrollBar.Foreground: Gray30
87 Emacs*XlwScrollBar.Background: Gray75
88 Emacs*XmScrollBar.Foreground: Gray30
89 Emacs*XmScrollBar.Background: Gray75
92 ! The Lucid Scrollbar supports two added resources, SliderStyle is either
93 ! "plain" (default) or "dimple". Dimple puts a small dimple in the middle
94 ! of the slider that depresses when the slider is clicked on. ArrowPosition is
95 ! either "opposite" (default) or "same". Opposite puts the arrows at opposite
96 ! of the scrollbar, same puts both arrows at the same end, like the Amiga.
98 ! Emacs*XlwScrollBar.SliderStyle: dimple
99 ! Emacs*XlwScrollBar.ArrowPosition: opposite
103 ! If you want to turn off a toolbar, set its height or width to 0.
104 ! The correct size value is not really arbitrary. We only control it
105 ! this way in order to avoid excess frame resizing when turning the
106 ! toolbars on and off.
108 ! To change the heights and widths of the toolbars:
110 ! Emacs.topToolBarHeight: 37
111 ! Emacs.bottomToolBarHeight: 0
112 ! Emacs.leftToolBarWidth: 0
113 ! Emacs.rightToolBarWidth: 0
115 Emacs*topToolBarShadowColor: Gray90
116 Emacs*bottomToolBarShadowColor: Gray40
117 Emacs*backgroundToolBarColor: Gray75
118 Emacs*toolBarShadowThickness: 2
121 ! If you want to turn off vertical scrollbars, or change the default
122 ! pixel width of the vertical scrollbars, do it like this (0 width
123 ! means no vertical scrollbars):
125 ! Emacs.scrollBarWidth: 0
127 ! To change it for a particular frame, do this:
129 ! Emacs*FRAME-NAME.scrollBarWidth: 0
132 ! If you want to turn off horizontal scrollbars, or change the default
133 ! pixel height of the horizontal scrollbars, do it like this (0 height
134 ! means no horizontal scrollbars):
136 ! Emacs.scrollBarHeight: 0
138 ! To change it for a particular frame, do this:
140 ! Emacs*FRAME-NAME.scrollBarHeight: 0
143 ! To dynamically change the labels used for menubar buttons...
145 ! Emacs*XlwMenu.resourceLabels: True
146 ! Emacs*XlwMenu.newFrame.labelString: Open Another Window
148 ! To have the Motif scrollbars on the left instead of the right, do this:
150 ! Emacs*scrollBarPlacement: BOTTOM_LEFT
152 ! To have the Athena scrollbars on the right, use `BOTTOM_RIGHT' instead
154 ! To have Motif scrollbars act more like Xt scrollbars...
156 ! Emacs*XmScrollBar.translations: #override \n\
157 ! <Btn1Down>: PageDownOrRight(0) \n\
158 ! <Btn3Down>: PageUpOrLeft(0)
162 ! XEmacs requires the use of XLFD (X Logical Font Description) format font
163 ! names, which look like
165 ! *-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*
167 ! if you use any of the other, less strict font name formats, some of which
169 ! lucidasanstypewriter-12
173 ! then XEmacs won't be able to guess the names of the bold and italic versions.
174 ! All X fonts can be referred to via XLFD-style names, so you should use those
175 ! forms. See the man pages for X(1), xlsfonts(1), and xfontsel(1).
178 ! The default font for the text area of XEmacs is chosen at run-time
179 ! by lisp code which tries a number of different possibilities in order
180 ! of preference. If you wish to override it, use this:
182 ! Emacs.default.attributeFont: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
184 ! If you choose a font which does not have an italic version, you can specify
185 ! some other font to use for it here:
187 ! Emacs.italic.attributeFont: -*-courier-medium-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
189 ! If you choose a font which does not have a bold-italic version,
190 ! you can specify some other font to use for it here:
192 ! Emacs.bold-italic.attributeFont: -*-courier-bold-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
194 ! And here is how you would set the background color of the `highlight' face,
195 ! but only on the screen named `debugger':
197 ! Emacs*debugger.highlight.attributeBackground: PaleTurquoise
199 ! See the NEWS file (C-h n) for a more complete description of the resource
203 ! Font of the modeline, menubar and pop-up menus.
204 ! Note that the menubar resources do not use the `face' syntax, since they
205 ! are X toolkit widgets and thus outside the domain of XEmacs proper.
207 ! When X Font Sets are enabled with ./configure --with-xfs (eg, for
208 ! multilingual menubars and XIM), some .font resources (those specific to
209 ! the Lucid widget set) are ignored in favor of .fontSet resources.
210 ! Note that you need to use fontSet (or FontSet) in that case even if you
211 ! want to specify one font:
213 ! *menubar*FontSet: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-*
215 ! There is no harm in having both resources set, except for the confusion
216 ! you suffer. Sorry; that's the price of backward compatibility.

239 ! I think 14-point looks nicer than 12-point.
