Hi All,
I am running several emacs under X11R5, all on different
machines, I set the name to be something like:
app_name@machine.name
Where the app_name is the same for all instances, but the machine.name
portion of the window name will be different. What I would like to
do, is to have all of these windows use the same Xdefaults, but I
can't use the window class because this would affect all of my emacs
windows. Basically, what I need is a way to use wildcards in the
window name in the Xdefaults file...so that I could do something like:
app_name*backgroundcolor: red
and have it applied to all app_name@whatever.machine windows.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks in advance,
Emmett
