The WDB GUI uses default
colors and fonts defined by the Common Desktop Environment (CDE) Window
Manager. You can use the CDE Style Manager to change the color scheme
and font size for the WDB GUI.
You can also override the CDE settings by defining values for colors
and fonts in the application defaults file:
/opt/langtools/wdb/app-defaults/Wdb
If you are not using the CDE Window Manager, you may want to define the
values for colors and fonts in your environment, or copy the application
defaults file to the following location and customize the file for all
users on your system:
/etc/opt/langtools/wdb/app-defaults/Wdb
Default colors for
Motif widgets are defined by the
CDE Style Manager, and default colors for the WDB GUI are
defined by the X server colormap. Therefore, you can customize WDB GUI
colors in two ways:
You can create a
palette similar to a typical PC color palette, and use the CDE Style
Manager to apply the palette to your desktop. The colors are defined
using red-green-blue (RGB) values.
To define a new CDE color palette similar to typical PC default
colors
- Create the following file in your desktop palettes directory:
$HOME/.dt/palettes/WinNT-default.dp
Add the following text to the file you have created:
#000000008000
#800080008000
#000080008000
#ff00ff00ff00
#c000c000c000
#c000c000c000
#800080008000
#c000c000c000
- From the CDE Style Manager, click Color. In the
Palettes selection box, click WinNT-default, then
click OK.
You
can override the CDE default colors for the WDB GUI by setting color
values in your environment or in the application defaults file:
/opt/langtools/wdb/app-defaults/Wdb
The following table shows how to assign color values to specific
windows and widgets.
| To set: |
Assign a color value to: |
| Foreground, background, and trough colors for all windows and
widgets |
- Wdb.*.foreground: color_value
- Wdb.*.background: color_value
- Wdb.*.troughColor: color_value
|
| Foreground and background colors for text windows and list
windows |
- Wdb.*.XmText.foreground: color_value
- Wdb.*.XmText.background: color_value
- Wdb.*.XmTextField.foreground: color_value
- Wdb.*.XmTextField.background: color_value
- Wdb.*.XmList.foreground: color_value
- Wdb.*.XmList.background: color_value
|
| ToolTips associated with the toolbar buttons |
- Wdb*ButtonBar*popupForeground: color_value
- Wdb*ButtonBar*popupBackground: color_value
|
| Toolbar button highlight color |
- Wdb*ButtonBar*highlightColor: color_value
|
| Watch variable highlight color |
- Wdb*XmLTree*highlightColor: color_value
|
The following examples show how to set color values using:
- standard text color names (see example).
- or RGB number values (see example).
For example, set WDB GUI colors similar to
typical PC default colors using the following text color names:
|
Wdb.*.foreground: black
Wdb.*.background: grey75
Wdb.*.troughColor: grey85
Wdb.*.XmText.foreground: black
Wdb.*.XmText.background: white
Wdb.*.XmTextField.foreground: black
Wdb.*.XmTextField.background: white
Wdb.*.XmList.foreground: black
Wdb.*.XmList.background: white
Wdb*ButtonBar*popupForeground: Black
Wdb*ButtonBar*popupBackground: LightYellow
Wdb*ButtonBar*highlightColor: grey60
Wdb*XmLTree*highlightColor: black |
Or, set WDB GUI colors similar to typical PC
default colors using the following RGB values:
|
Wdb.*.foreground: rgb:0000/0000/0000
Wdb.*.background: rgb:c000/c000/c000
Wdb.*.troughColor: rgb:e000/e000/e000
Wdb.*.XmText.foreground: rgb:0000/0000/0000
Wdb.*.XmText.background: rgb:ffff/ffff/ffff
Wdb.*.XmTextField.foreground: rgb:0000/0000/0000
Wdb.*.XmTextField.background: rgb:ffff/ffff/ffff
Wdb.*.XmList.foreground: rgb:0000/0000/0000
Wdb.*.XmList.background: rgb:ffff/ffff/ffff
Wdb*ButtonBar*popupForeground: rgb:0000/0000/0000
Wdb*ButtonBar*popupBackground: rgb:ffff/ffff/e100
Wdb*ButtonBar*highlightColor: rgb:8000/8000/8000
Wdb*XmLTree*highlightColor: rgb:0000/0000/0000 |
To customize fonts for WDB GUIYou can set new font values in
your environment or in the application defaults file. Also, some
examples for customizing fonts are provided in the application defaults
file:
/opt/langtools/wdb/app-defaults/Wdb
- Set a default font list for all widgets:
Wdb.*.fontList:
- Then override any Motif widget classes for which you want to set
specific font lists:
Wdb.*.XmText.*.fontList:
Wdb.*.XmTextField.*.fontList:
Wdb.*.XmButton.*.fontList:
Wdb.*.XmLabel.*.fontList:
For example, to set fonts that are similar to typical PC default
fonts:
Wdb.*.fontList: *-bold-r-normal-serif-12-*-*-*-m-*:
Wdb.*.XmText.*.fontList: *-medium-r-normal-serif-12-*-*-*-m-*:
Wdb.*.XmTextField.*.fontList: *-medium-r-normal-serif-12-*-*-*-m-*:
- See the the
X(1)man page for the syntax for setting
color and font X resource values and for merging new X resources
into your X resource database.
- Use the
xrdb command with the -merge
option to set new X resource values in your current X resource
database.
- Use the
xlsfonts command to see which fonts are
available in your X server and to determine which fonts will match a
given wildcard pattern (see the xlsfonts(1) man page).
- Use the
xset command with the -fp
option to set, add, or remove the font path or to set font server
names. The interpretation is server-dependent (see the xset(1)
man page).
- Use the unsupported demo application
xfd with the
-fn option to display a font. This is usually found in
the /usr/contrib/bin/X11 directory (see the xfd(1)
man page).
- See the
/usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt file for the color
names that have been installed in the default colormap for the X
server.
