Configuring dbXtra X11 and Motif resources

As with most X11 applications, you can configure a number of resources to modify the appearance of dbXtra to suit your needs. See Chapter 5, ``Understanding resources'' in the Graphical Environment Guide and ``About resources'' in the Graphical Environment Guide.

The values of the resources can be specified in the .Xdefaults-hostname file in your home directory, where hostname is the name of the machine on which the X11 client (for which you want to specify resources) is running. Resources can also be specified in a file called dbXtra in /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults, or in the app-defaults directory in your home directory.

The resources that control the appearance of dbXtra have the following syntax:

dbXtra*resource: value

See dbXtra(CP) for a description of dbXtra resources. In addition, resources can be set to manipulate the various Motif widgets utilized. For lists of Motif resources, see Appendix A, ``OSF/Motif window manager resources'' in the Graphical Environment Guide.
