This may help. At work I use emacs on solaris, and the menus had a funky stipple border instead of a cool motif-like shadow look. I started poking around with editres and found a few things. Then I poked around in the source to emacs to see how the resources were being used. I now have this is my .Xdefaults file: !Setting menu background turns off ugly stipple shadows. Emacs*XlwMenu*background: gray75 If debian has editres (or something better) try that to see what resources are availiable and experiment. Dale -- Dale P.
