ok. I think there's something to appease everyone right now - I'd rather let it go as is, to see what problems arise. > > at the moment I'm only interested in bug-fixes (not changing configuration > > around).

Even the example that I got in feedback was still more readable than the darker blue on black. (Bear in mind that when I setup color resources in 1996/1997, the choice was for names that were present in X11R5 and X11R6 rgb.txt, since I didn't trust the numeric specifiers - and I was usually making white backgrounds). > It might be a good idea to get rid of that Xaw7 display list stuff, > though.

It did puzzle me what was going on until I looked at the resources. -- Thomas E.
