- Since the Frame docs are woefully incomplete on the subject of
- Xdefaults/Xresources, ya just gotta play around with these things until
- something works. They're case sensitive and *'s appear to mean
- something different than .'s. What worked for me (after trying various
- combinations and permutations) was:
-
- maker*makerkit*foreground: white
- maker*makerkit*background: blue
- maker*makerkit*geometry: 322x66-0+0
-
- I tried to make just the exit button makerkit in the red with:
-
- maker*makerkit*exitbutton*background: red
-
- but it didn't work.
-
- I sent in a request for a complete list of resource names to
- comments@frame.com two days ago, but haven't heard anything back yet.
- I'll post the results if they come back with anything useful.
-
- Below I've appended the Xdefaults color and geometry settings that I've
- tried guessing at so far. Some of 'em work and some of 'em don't.
- Since I'm still testing it out, the colors were set for uniqueness
- rather than aesthetics.
-
- If anyone has a good working Xdefaults file that sets these resources
- correctly, I'd love to see it.
