  12. I give up! After an hour and a half I cannot get cmdtool to set my background
  13. to black and my foreground to yellow. I want this to be through my .Xdefaults
  14. file, not the command line.
  15.  
  16. If I put the following
  17.  
  18.    *window.color.background: black
  19.    *window.color.foreground: yellow
  20.  
  21. in the file, then cmdtool works, but EVERYTHING ELSE changes too, and for
  22. some reason the text in all the buttons and menus goes yellow (maybe that
  23. makes sense).
  24.  
  25. Does anyone know how to JUST get cmdtool to change colors?
  26.  
  27. I tried the obvious,
  28.  
  29.    cmdtool.window.color.background: black
  30.    cmdtool.window.color.foreground: yellow
  31.  
  32. It didn't work.
  33.  
  34. Thanks a lot,
