I'm quite happily moving from my old xdm-mwm arrangement under 3.2 to a
CDE-dtwm one under 4.0 (actually I found a nice way to have an mwm-like
look-and-feel with no control panel but with the added benefit of
workspaces) ... for this I found the online documentation at
http://www.tru64unix.compaq.com/docs very well written and useful in
pointing at the correct files and X resources, so I could locate what I
needed to customize in a much quicker and easier way than we did e.g. at
the time we used CDE under Solaris.
I am now left with a silly question for which I cannot find the proper
resource under CDE.
I'd like to set the colour of the arrow pointer which tracks the mouse
cursor movement. The usual black-with-white-borders is not very visible on
my darkish background.
Under xdm I had the following resources in .Xdefaults (they had to be
there and not in the Mwm resource file)
DXsession.pointer_background: #ff0000000000
DXsession.pointer_foreground: #0000ff000000
I did not find any similar resources mentioned in the dtwm man page, nor
there is a way to change them from the control panel (while there used to
be a way in the xdm Session Manager GUI). I tried playing around with
similar resource names like Dtwm*pointer_background in .Xdefaults and
Dtwm, but with no avail.
Any clue ?
