Re: [expert] xemacs 3D effects in MDK 8.1
I think I finally came up with a solution I like. The user's private resource file ~/.Xresources can include these lines: *Background: LightGrey XTerm*background: white 'xterm' needs a separate resource, unless one likes its background to be grey. But Tcl/Tk applications and Xemacs seem to be OK with light grey as a background, so I think I'm done for a bit. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

RE: [expert] xemacs 3D effects in MDK 8.1
I finally found out what's happening - the default color for the background has changed. If you run 'xrdb -query | grep Back' you'll see that the background color has been changed to #f0. If this resource is removed, the problem with viewing the 3D effects of the buttons in Xemacs and other programs, e.g. tkhylafax and exmh, goes away. I can't figure out where in the system that this resource is being set, so I've put a script in /etc/X11/xinit.d that has the single line: xrdb -remove *Background Now the background color for Xemacs is it's old, nicely contrasting gray, and xterm's come up with a white background instead of dirty yellow.

Re: [expert] xemacs 3D effects in MDK 8.1
Glenn, Just curious. If you are launching xterm from mandrake's menu you might want to look at the menu command for xterm +dc enables dynamic colors and -dc disables them. If the -dc switch isn't there you might want to add it to the command line and then save the new menu config. As for Emacs... don't know, don't use. But it should be something simular.

Re: [expert] xemacs 3D effects in MDK 8.1
I was a bit hasty with my solution. Using 'xrdb -remove' deletes ALL the resources, not just one of them. This script seems to work: #!/bin/sh # # Remove the *Background:#f0 resource, so certain apps have better # contrast xrdb -query | sed -e /^\*Background:/D | xrdb -load But there might be other side effects in removing the Background resource class. Some applications might not know what to do. So I'm not entirely happy with this script, either. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

This a apparently a new feature of xemacxs 21.4 - I picked up a copy of the source, and built. There are no 3D buttons... ;-( Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com
RE: [expert] xemacs 3D effects in MDK 8.1
The original sources do not provide this. The 3D buttons and nice Icons are added by a set of additional files you have to manually install. With 8.0 Mandrake included this in their RPM's but now omits them. It should be possible to re-install the 8.0 RPM's then INSTALL (not upgrade) the 8.1 RPM's retaining the settings. I might try this tonight for yucks. -JMS |-Original Message- |From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Glenn Burkhardt |Sent: Monday, November 19, 2001 5:44 PM |To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] |Subject: Re: [expert] xemacs 3D effects in MDK 8.1 | | |This a apparently a new feature of xemacxs 21.4 - I picked up |a copy of the |source, and built.

Anyone know what happened to the fancy 3D toolbar buttons on other 3D effects in Xemacs for Mandrake 8.1? All of a sudden, they're gone. Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft? Go to http://www.mandrakestore.com

Re: [expert] xemacs 3D effects in MDK 8.1
I uninstalled the xemacs RPM and installed it from the tarball, cause I was having trouble with all the package-related options (options-manage-packages) not working. I got all that fixed ( and PCL-CVS, JDE, etc, etc ) but the buttons are still 2D. Apparently the Mandrake installation does not come with the 'sumo-tarball' that installs all the packages that used to be bundled with xemacs. This is probably a bug because xemacs is way less useful than it could be without them. -Dan Jose M. Sanchez wrote: Good question.
