Like the menus better too. ...with these resources: > ---------------------------------------- I put the resources Randal posted into my .Xdefaults and the following funny happens: (I rebuilt color_xterm with all Xaw refs changed to Xaw3d in the Makefile) Running fvwm95-2 my color_xterms that pop up initially (by .xinitrc - I'm using startx) have 3D-effect scrollbars and shaded edged pop up menues but with dithered gray shades rather than the colored shades. Only newly created color_xterms (launched from the tool bar) show the correct colors and solid colored shades. I event put the resources into .Xresources - no change.
