X Window system question
many Kudos to you for running X11! It's a great interface to work with.
Now, to change the colors, it's pretty simple, once you get the hang of it. You have to use a reference guide (simple) if you don't have the colors/palette memorized.
Here it goes. Modify the following file:
~/.Xdefaults FYI: ~ means home dirctory, so in your case it'll be: /home/mrnoob/.Xdefaults notice the . (dot) implying that it's hidden, by default. So you'll have to unhide it, first, and then edit it using any editor (Kate, KText, etc…)
Use the next as a reference guide (for naming the color, instead of using numerical representations).
My .Xdefaults file looks like this:
Mwm*keyboardFocusPolicy: pointer
Mwm*frameBorderWidth: 3
Mwm*BoundaryWidth: 2
Mwm*showFeedback: resize
Mwm*focusAutoRaise: True
Mwm*autoRaiseDelay: 400
Mosaic*trackVisitedAnchors: True
Mosaic*useGlobalHistory: False
Mosaic*catchPriorAndNext: True
XTerm*font: 7x14
XTerm*scrollbar: True
XTerm*background: Black
XTerm*foreground: Green
! Configuring xlock
XLock.mode: random
XLock.background: SteelBlue
XLock.foreground: Black
XLock.username: mr_noob
XLock.password: mr_noobs_password
XLock.validate: *clickety-click*
XBuffy.boxfile: .xbuffyrc
XBuffy.geometry: -74-0
XBuffy.horizontal: True
xdaliclock.seconds: False
xdaliclock.geometry: 70x64-0+0
xdaliclock.font:
XLoad.highlight: Green
XLoad.foreground: Green
XLoad.background: Black
XLoad.geometry: 70x70-0+64
Notice how the configuration is somewhat application centric?
That means you can customize certain binaries' windows/fonts. For example, for emacs do something like:
EmacsForeground: black EmacsCursorColor: red Emacs*pointerColor: yellow
If you can't find the ./Xresources file in your $HOME [DIR] then look in: /usr/local/X11R5/lib/X11/Xresources
Good Luck!
