Resource Files
For advanced customization,
1. Edit the Mwm resource file.
* DECW$USER_DEFAULTS:DECW$MWM.DAT for
OpenVMS or
* ~/Mwm for other systems.
2. Add or set the appropriate resources.
3. Restart Mwm.
For black and white and gray-scale systems, add any color-
related resources to
* DECW$MWM_BW.DAT and DECW$MWM_
GRAY.DAT for OpenVMS or
* Mwm_bw and Mwm_gray for other systems.
You should not place any Mwm resources in the Xdefaults
file for your system. These resources will not be applied when
you restart Mwm.
Many of the resources are documented in the system mwm
resource file and have comments to help you review them.
Do not modify this file directly unless you want to change the
default resources for everyone.
* decw$system_defaults for OpenVMS and
* /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults for other systems.
Double-click on Mwm Resource Quick Reference for a
quick reference of many of the Mwm resources and refer to
the OSF/Motif Programmer's Guide for a full explanation.
Note that the location of the resource files can vary depending
on language options and other logicals or environment
variables.
