2.13 X Resources

A large number of X window resources can be set by a user to customize various aspects of the user interface. The best way to explore these is to examine the file $PTOLEMY/lib/pigiXRes9 for the defaults. These defaults can typically be overridden in the user's.Xdefaults file, and incorporated into the X environment using the program xrdb. For example,

Vem*font:		*-times-medium-r-normal--*-120-*
changes the font in the vem console window, menus, dialog boxes, etc., to something smaller than the default. Also,

Vem*background:			antiqueWhite
changes the background in the vem console window and dialog boxes to the color "antiqueWhite."
