This is good, Tony. Thank-you.
(I have applied it in two Solaris domains I spend
a lot of time working in. Linux is at home and I'm
not there now. Later.)
Now, how do I change the size of the titlebar and the size
of the font in the titlebar so it is big enough to see?
And where in the standard documentation stuff is the list
of ANSI escape sequences so I can tune your colors for
better readability by my aging eyes on these monitors?
(I have my xterms .Xdefault-ed for "black" on "white" but
the black is a washed out looking gray compared to what
you gave me.)
I'll trim the mailing lists to just the one I read. You
can add another if you think it is appropriate.
And, again, accept my heartfelt (well, eyefelt) appreciation
for this item,
