! This is a sample .Xdefaults file. The resources below are the ! actual resources used as defaults for XEmacs, although the ! form of these resources in the XEmacs app-defaults file is ! slightly different. ! ! You can use the examples below as a basis for your own customizations: ! copy and modify any of the resources below into your own ~/.Xdefaults file. ! .Xdefaults specifies defaults for all applications, not just XEmacs; it is ! normally used to customize fonts, colors, and the like, while ~/.emacs is ! used to change other sorts of (XEmacs-specific) behavior. ! ! In general, changes to your .Xdefaults file will not take effect until the ! next time you restart the window system. To reload your resources ! explicitly, use the shell command ! ! xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults ! ! The resources will take effect the next time you restart XEmacs. (Simply ! creating a new xemacs frame is not enough - you must restart the editor ! for the changes to take effect.) ! ! Colors and backgrounds. ! ====================== ! The contrasts of these colors will cause them to map to the appropriate ! one of "black" or "white" on monochrome systems. ! ! The valid color names on your system can be found by looking in the file ! `rgb.txt', usually found in /usr/lib/X11/ or /usr/openwin/lib/X11/. ! Set the foreground and background colors of the `default' face. ! The default face colors are the base for most of the other faces' ! colors. The default background is gray80, and the default foreground ! is black. Emacs.default.attributeBackground: gray80 Emacs.default.attributeForeground: black ! Set the modeline colors. Emacs.modeline*attributeForeground: Black Emacs.modeline*attributeBackground: Gray75 ! Set the color of the text cursor. Emacs.text-cursor*attributeBackground: Red3 ! If you want to set the color of the mouse pointer, do this: ! Emacs.pointer*attributeForeground: Black ! If you want to set the background of the mouse pointer, do this: ! Emacs.pointer*attributeBackground: White ! Note that by default, the pointer foreground and background are the same ! as the default face. ! Set the menubar colors. This overrides the default foreground and ! background colors specified above. Emacs*menubar*Foreground: Gray30 Emacs*menubar*Background: Gray75 ! This is for buttons in the menubar. ! Yellow would be better, but that would map to white on monochrome. Emacs*menubar.buttonForeground: Blue Emacs*XlwMenu.selectColor: ForestGreen Emacs*XmToggleButton.selectColor: ForestGreen ! Specify the colors of popup menus. Emacs*popup*Foreground: Black Emacs*popup*Background: Gray75 ! Specify the colors of the various sub-widgets of the dialog boxes. Emacs*dialog*Foreground: Black ! #A5C0C1 is a shade of blue Emacs*dialog*Background: #A5C0C1 ! The following three are for Motif dialog boxes ... Emacs*dialog*XmTextField*Background: WhiteSmoke Emacs*dialog*XmText*Background: WhiteSmoke Emacs*dialog*XmList*Background: WhiteSmoke ! While this one is for Athena dialog boxes. Emacs*dialog*Command*Background: WhiteSmoke ! Athena dialog boxes are sometimes built with the Xaw3d ! variant of the Athena toolkit. ! XEmacs being nice to 8bit displays, it defaults to: Emacs*dialog*Command*beNiceToColormap: true ! If you are shocked by the ugliness of the 3d rendition, ! you may want to set (even on 8bit displays) the above to false. ! Xlw Scrollbar colors Emacs*XlwScrollBar.Foreground: Gray30 Emacs*XlwScrollBar.Background: Gray75 Emacs*XmScrollBar.Foreground: Gray30 Emacs*XmScrollBar.Background: Gray75 ! ! The Lucid Scrollbar supports two added resources, SliderStyle is either ! "plain" (default) or "dimple". Dimple puts a small dimple in the middle ! of the slider that depresses when the slider is clicked on. ArrowPosition is ! either "opposite" (default) or "same". Opposite puts the arrows at opposite ! of the scrollbar, same puts both arrows at the same end, like the Amiga. ! ! Emacs*XlwScrollBar.SliderStyle: dimple ! Emacs*XlwScrollBar.ArrowPosition: opposite ! ! If you want to turn off a toolbar, set its height or width to 0. ! The correct size value is not really arbitrary. We only control it ! this way in order to avoid excess frame resizing when turning the ! toolbars on and off. ! ! To change the heights and widths of the toolbars: ! ! Emacs.topToolBarHeight: 37 ! Emacs.bottomToolBarHeight: 0 ! Emacs.leftToolBarWidth: 0 ! Emacs.rightToolBarWidth: 0 Emacs*topToolBarShadowColor: Gray90 Emacs*bottomToolBarShadowColor: Gray40 Emacs*backgroundToolBarColor: Gray75 Emacs*toolBarShadowThickness: 2 ! If you want to turn off vertical scrollbars, or change the default ! pixel width of the vertical scrollbars, do it like this (0 width ! means no vertical scrollbars): ! ! Emacs.scrollBarWidth: 0 ! ! To change it for a particular frame, do this: ! ! Emacs*FRAME-NAME.scrollBarWidth: 0 ! If you want to turn off horizontal scrollbars, or change the default ! pixel height of the horizontal scrollbars, do it like this (0 height ! means no horizontal scrollbars): ! ! Emacs.scrollBarHeight: 0 ! ! To change it for a particular frame, do this: ! ! Emacs*FRAME-NAME.scrollBarHeight: 0 ! To dynamically change the labels used for menubar buttons... ! ! Emacs*XlwMenu.resourceLabels: True ! Emacs*XlwMenu.newFrame.labelString: Open Another Window ! To have the Motif scrollbars on the left instead of the right, do this: ! ! Emacs*scrollBarPlacement: BOTTOM_LEFT ! ! To have the Athena scrollbars on the right, use `BOTTOM_RIGHT' instead ! To have Motif scrollbars act more like Xt scrollbars... ! ! Emacs*XmScrollBar.translations: #override \n\ ! : PageDownOrRight(0) \n\ ! : PageUpOrLeft(0) ! Fonts. ! ====== ! XEmacs requires the use of XLFD (X Logical Font Description) format font ! names, which look like ! ! *-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-*-* ! ! if you use any of the other, less strict font name formats, some of which ! look like ! lucidasanstypewriter-12 ! and fixed ! and 9x13 ! ! then XEmacs won't be able to guess the names of the bold and italic versions. ! All X fonts can be referred to via XLFD-style names, so you should use those ! forms. See the man pages for X(1), xlsfonts(1), and xfontsel(1). ! The default font for the text area of XEmacs is chosen at run-time ! by lisp code which tries a number of different possibilities in order ! of preference. If you wish to override it, use this: ! ! Emacs.default.attributeFont: -*-courier-medium-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! If you choose a font which does not have an italic version, you can specify ! some other font to use for it here: ! ! Emacs.italic.attributeFont: -*-courier-medium-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! ! If you choose a font which does not have a bold-italic version, ! you can specify some other font to use for it here: ! ! Emacs.bold-italic.attributeFont: -*-courier-bold-o-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! ! And here is how you would set the background color of the `highlight' face, ! but only on the screen named `debugger': ! ! Emacs*debugger.highlight.attributeBackground: PaleTurquoise ! ! See the NEWS file (C-h n) for a more complete description of the resource ! syntax of faces. ! Font of the modeline, menubar and pop-up menus. ! Note that the menubar resources do not use the `face' syntax, since they ! are X toolkit widgets and thus outside the domain of XEmacs proper. ! ! When X Font Sets are enabled with ./configure --with-xfs (eg, for ! multilingual menubars and XIM), some .font resources (those specific to ! the Lucid widget set) are ignored in favor of .fontSet resources. ! Note that you need to use fontSet (or FontSet) in that case even if you ! want to specify one font: ! ! *menubar*FontSet: -*-helvetica-bold-r-*-*-*-120-*-*-*-*-iso8859-* ! ! There is no harm in having both resources set, except for the confusion ! you suffer.
