Computer Science, University of Western Australia. Lines: 34 G'day, How does one specify the resource name of an XView 2.0 application? Currently my application (let's call it xknobend) ignores any default Xview resource values I specify in my ~/.Xdefaults file. For example if I include the following line in my ~/.Xdefaults file: xknobend.window.color.foreground: salmon My application chooses to ignore this and use the default black foreground, however, if I include the line: *window.color.foreground: salmon My application decides it will be a salmon coloured thing. It occurs to me that the application's resource name is not xknobend. How do I set the resource name in Xview 2.0 - that is which attribute do I set? I've tried XV_NAME but didn't get the desired result. I have also tried setting XA_WM_CLASS of the baseframe window using XSetClassHint but this didn't work either. Help me Obi Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Chris Pudney Department of Computer Science, PHONE: (local: 09) (int'l: +61 9) 380 3455 University of Western Australia, Nedlands, Western AUSTRALIA, 6009.
