- Well, the man 7 xview says the resource is
- Window.Color.Background and that the color is one that is located in
- $OPENWINHOME/lib/rgb.txt . I checked and black and yellow are there. I
- also tried
-
- cmdtool.Window.Color.Background: black
-
- as well as
-
- Cmdtool.Window.Color.Background: black
-
- and neither of those worked.
-
- Anyone have any clues? As the man says, he does NOT want a command line
- option...
