- Can't do it. Sorry. Notepad is a mixed-model GL program
- which doesn't understand X resources. Being mixed-model,
- it also ignores the GL resource options that you can
- specify for other pure-GL programs.
-
- Perhaps a future version will be more customizable. If
- the situation really bothers you, check out the freely
- available "xpostit" program instead. The user interface
- is not as swell as Notepad, but it does listen to
- X resources.
