_X_m_c_o_l_o_r is a color mixer utility that is useful as an
interactive tool to set up the color resources of other X
applications. You can browse the color database of pre-
defined colors, or mix a custom color using the red, green
and blue sliders. The color name (in RGB format) is
displayed in a text field and can be cut-and-paste'ed into a
text editor (such as when editing the app-defaults file of
another X application).
You can also edit the RGB format color name string directly
in the text field and see the resultant color. See the X(1)
manual page for a description of the RGB format color name
convention.
The resultant color is shown in a large square color box,
and the strengths of the individual red, green and blue
components are also displayed in separate smaller color
boxes.
While the use of a mouse is natural with _x_m_c_o_l_o_r, all
functionality can also be operated via the keyboard. This
is in conformance to the guidelines published in the
_O_S_F/_M_o_t_i_f _S_t_y_l_e _G_u_i_d_e from the Open Software Foundation.
OOOOPPPPTTTTIIIIOOOONNNNSSSS
All standard _X_t _I_n_t_r_i_n_s_i_c_s toolkit options are supported.
In addition, _x_m_c_o_l_o_r supports the following options:
-_r_g_b_f_i_l_e _p_a_t_h
Specifies the path name to the color database file. If
this option is not used, the default device used is
specified in the _x_m_c_o_l_o_r XMcolor*rgbFilePath X
resource. This is typically /_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_X_1_1/_r_g_b._t_x_t.

_X_m_c_o_l_o_r has several adjustable X resources to customize its
look and feel. Notably, the colors of virtually every
feature on _x_m_c_o_l_o_r's windows can be changed, as well as the
text fonts.
The resource names and their defaults can be found in the

LLLLIIIIBBBBDDDDIIIIRRRR/_a_p_p-_d_e_f_a_u_l_t_s/_X_M_c_o_l_o_r file (where LIBDIR is typically
/_u_s_r/_l_i_b/_X_1_1). It is not recommended that you change values
in the LLLLIIIIBBBBDDDDIIIIRRRR/_a_p_p-_d_e_f_a_u_l_t_s/_X_M_c_o_l_o_r file, unless you want the
changes to be forced upon all users of _x_m_c_o_l_o_r on the
system. Instead, make a copy of this file, change the copy
as you see fit, then place it in your home directory. Your
custom resource settings will then override the defaults
when _x_m_c_o_l_o_r is subsequently started. Alternatively, you
may also place specific resources you wish to override in
the ._X_d_e_f_a_u_l_t_s file in your home directory.
