I think you may be confusing glyphs with widgets, and their "automatic" resources. You have to associate a glyph with a style. The components you get from widgetkit have this done for you. So HScollBar is a widgetkit component, whereas Thumb is not. The place to look is src/InterViews/kit.c although this sort of thing should be documented somewhere. Here are some settings that work for idemo: Idemo*HScrollBar*flat: red Idemo*VScrollBar*flat: green Idemo*Panner*flat: blue Idemo*PaletteButton*flat: orange Idemo*RadioButton*flat: cyan Idemo*ToggleButton*flat: purple Idemo*PushButton*flat: brown -- dave sternlicht mit X consortium dave@expo.lcs.mit.edu
