Motif Customization

Customizing the Appearance of ImageWorks on X/Motif systems.

ImageWorks resources, such as fonts and colours, can be customized on operating systems which use X-Windows Motif through the .Xdefaults file which resides in the user's login directory. The resources available are as follows:

 imageworks*fontList:              <font>   (e.g., fixed)
General purpose font for most of the application.

 imageworks*annotationFont:        <font>   (e.g., fixed)
Extra font available in image and graphic annotation.

 imageworks*fixedFont:             <font>   (e.g., 10x20)
Font used in areas requiring monospaced characters (e.g. main text in Help Panel).

 imageworks*background:            <colour>  (e.g., grey)
Background colour for most panels.

 imageworks*MenuBar*background:    <colour>  (e.g., thistle)
Colour of all menu bars.

 imageworks*TitleBar*background:   <colour>  (e.g., lightsteelblue)
Colour for all title bars.

Available fonts and colours will depend on your system. Under some environments (such as HP VUE) customization is handled by means other than the .Xdefaults file. See the operating system user documentation for these environments.

To set these resources system wide, an app-default file may be created called `imageworks', with the same format as the .Xdefaults file. It is typically placed in the directory /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults.
