Christoph Kukulies:
|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. Any ideas?
It sounds like the resources aren't getting xrdbed soon enough (for the
.Xdefaults/.Xresources case), or your XAPPLRESDIR/XUSERFILESEARCHPATH isn't
getting set soon enough (for the Color_xterm/XTerm app-default file case).
To cover both cases, flip these lines into the top of your .xinitrc, before
your invocation of fvwm95-2 and before invocation of your color_xterms (if
you're invoking them here and not in the .fvwm2rc95 file). Tweak
XAPPLRESDIR to where you keep your local class resource files
(e.g. XTerm/Color_xterm).
XAPPLRESDIR=$HOME/cfg/app-defaults; export XAPPLRESDIR
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
