- The fell is done in tcl for Motif (at least with the last two versions
- of TK), so to get the fell all that would change is the default bindings. As
- to the look, I think that you would might have to modify some of the widgets,
- I'm not that much into Openlook. You might be able to just get by modifing the
- xdefaults for the widgets.
