Hi! I'm currently working on a CAPI app which is supposed to be used on Windows and Linux. While it looks quite OK with the default settings on Windows I don't really like it on Linux. Is there a way to change the default background color and the default font CAPI elements are using? I tried APROPOS for "default" but couldn't find anything that looked like it would be useful. Thanks, Edi.

LW comes with a suitable app defaults file (somewhere under .../lib I think) which has many entries. You should also be able to programmatically provide `fallback' resources as strings, but I'm not quite sure how that works. --tim
Same here. LW for Linux should come with a XApp/Xdefaults-like set of specs resempbling the much better looking defaults on Windows. Just changing some of the pinkish colors you get as a default (a Motif legacy) and the main font will help.
