- Could anybody tell me what resources I need separetly set the various fonts and
- colors for the Workspace popup menus, the term pane windows, other pop-ups??
-
- I noticed that "*buttonFont" <fontname> changes the fonts on the face of the
- workspace menus and on the exit/cancel buttons on the menu that pops up when
- you click exit on the workspace menu.
-
- BUT
- "*ButtonFont: <fontanme> has no effect
- "*button*Font: <fontname> has no effect
- "CursorColor: .... has no effect
- "*cursor*Color: .... has no effect
- BUT
-
-
-
- BUT
- "cursorColor: .... CHANGES THE CURSOR COLOR???!!
- "buttonFont:.... CHANGES THE popup menu fonts, except the menu titlefonts
-
- BUT
- "menu*Font:... has no effect
- "menu*TitleFont:... has no effect
- "*Menu*Font:... has no effect
- BUT
- "*TitleFont:... CHANGES ALL TITLE FONTS, INCLUDING THE MENUS??!!
-
- ALSO, somewhere along the line I found something that changed the font
- on the menu that pops up when you click exit on the Workspace menu.
-
-
- Somehow, I can no longer duplicate it. instead, all I now get (with my
- "buttonFont:..." is large fonts on the buttons themselves. What resource
- controls the text above these buttons?? I had it --then I lost it during
- my experimentation, and I can not get it back for the life of me!!
-
- I've tried all permuations of "button, font, menu"--nichts!!
-
-
-
- Also, I have been totally unable to change the color of my menus, buttons,
- slider bars separetly. What am I missing. I've tried numerous permutations
- of "Color, Background, forground, slider, scrollbar, button, menu, upper and
- lower case, *, ., ---- nothing!!
-
- Why do these resources act so strangely: notice the button and menu examples
- above.
-
- thanx for answering,
