E.2   Resource Definition Files

If you wish to exercise more detailed control over the X resources (colors, fonts, bitmaps, and so on) used by Tornado, refer to the X resource files in the Tornado distribution (listed in this section) to select the properties you wish to override.

The documentation for X resources used by Tornado consists of comments in the resource files themselves.


*
WARNING: The names and values of all X resource strings other than the *customization properties are subject to change from one Tornado release to the next.

If you choose to override Tornado X resource values, we recommend that you do not edit these files in place; instead, use them as references, and override the resource settings as you wish in the .Xdefaults or .Xresources file in your home directory.

The following files contain the Tornado X resource definitions:

${WIND_BASE}/host/resource/app-defaults/Tornado
Comprehensive definitions for all resources common to all the Tornado tools.

${WIND_BASE}/host/resource/app-defaults/Tornado-grayscale
Grayscale-monitor overrides for resources common to all the Tornado tools.

${WIND_BASE}/host/resource/app-defaults/toolName
Comprehensive definitions for all resources specific to the Tornado tool toolName (where toolName is one of Browser, CrossWind, Dialog, or Launch).

${WIND_BASE}/host/resource/app-defaults/toolName-color
Color-monitor overrides specific to a particular Tornado tool.

${WIND_BASE}/host/resource/app-defaults/toolName-grayscale
Grayscale-monitor overrides specific to a particular Tornado tool.
