-@appendix X Options and Resources
-
- You can customize some X-related aspects of Emacs behavior using X
-resources, as is usual for programs that use X. On MS-Windows, you
-can customize some of the same aspects using the system registry.
-@xref{MS-Windows Registry}.
-
- When Emacs is built using an ``X toolkit'', such as Lucid or
-LessTif, you need to use X resources to customize the appearance of
-the widgets, including the menu-bar, scroll-bar, and dialog boxes.
-This is because the libraries that implement these don't provide for
-customization through Emacs. GTK+ widgets use a separate system of
-@ifnottex
-``GTK resources'', which we will also describe.
-@end ifnottex
-@iftex
-``GTK resources.'' In this chapter we describe the most commonly used
-resource specifications. For full documentation, see the online
-manual.

-@cindex resources
-@cindex X resources
-@cindex @file{~/.Xdefaults} file
-@cindex @file{~/.Xresources} file
-
- Programs running under the X Window System organize their user
-options under a hierarchy of classes and resources. You can specify
-default values for these options in your @dfn{X resource file},
-usually named @file{~/.Xdefaults} or @file{~/.Xresources}. Changes in
-this file do not take effect immediately, because the X server stores
-its own list of resources; to update it, use the command
-@command{xrdb}---for instance, @samp{xrdb ~/.Xdefaults}.
-
-@cindex Registry (MS-Windows)
- (MS-Windows systems do not support X resource files; on Windows,
-Emacs looks for X resources in the Windows Registry, first under the
-key @samp{HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs} and then under the key
-@samp{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs}. The menu and scroll
-bars are native widgets on MS-Windows, so they are only customizable
-via the system-wide settings in the Display Control Panel. You can
-also set resources using the @samp{-xrm} command line option, as
-explained below.)
-
- Each line in the X resource file specifies a value for one option or
-for a collection of related options. Each resource specification
-consists of a @dfn{program name} and a @dfn{resource name}. Case
-distinctions are significant in each of these names. Here is an
-example:
-
-@example
-emacs.borderWidth: 2
-@end example
-
-@ifnottex
- The program name is the name of the executable file to which the
-resource applies. For Emacs, this is normally @samp{emacs}. To
-specify a definition that applies to all instances of Emacs,
-regardless of the name of the Emacs executable, use @samp{Emacs}.
-
- The resource name is the name of a program setting. For instance,
-Emacs recognizes a @samp{borderWidth} resource that controls the width
-of the external border for graphical frames.
-
- Resources are grouped into named classes. For instance, the
-@samp{BorderWidth} class contains both the @samp{borderWidth} resource
-(which we just described), as well as the @samp{internalBorder}
-resource, which controls the width of the internal border for
-graphical frames. Instead of using a resource name, you can use a
-class name to specify the same value for all resources in that class.
-Here's an example:
-
-@example
-emacs.BorderWidth: 2
-@end example
-
- If you specify a value for a class, it becomes the default for all
-resources in that class. You can specify values for individual
-resources as well; these override the class value, for those
-particular resources. The following example specifies 2 as the
-default width for all borders, but overrides this value with 4 for the
-external border:
-
-@example
-emacs.BorderWidth: 2
-emacs.borderWidth: 4
-@end example
-@end ifnottex
-
- The order in which the lines appear in the file does not matter.
-One way to experiment with the effect of different resource settings
-is to use the @code{editres} program. See the @code{editres} man page
-for more details.
-
- Emacs does not process X resources at all if you set the variable
-@code{inhibit-x-resources} to a non-@code{nil} value, or if you
-specify the @samp{-Q} (or @samp{--quick}) command-line argument
-(@pxref{Initial Options}). (The @samp{-Q} argument automatically sets
-@code{inhibit-x-resources} to @code{t}.)
-
-@ifnottex
- In addition, you can use the following command-line options to
-override the X resources file:
-
-@table @samp
-@item -name @var{name}
-@opindex --name
-@itemx --name=@var{name}
-@cindex resource name, command-line argument
-This option sets the program name of the initial Emacs frame to
-@var{name}. It also sets the title of the initial frame to
-@var{name}. This option does not affect subsequent frames.
-
-If you don't specify this option, the default is to use the Emacs
-executable's name as the program name.
-
-For consistency, @samp{-name} also specifies the name to use for other
-resource values that do not belong to any particular frame.
-
-The resources that name Emacs invocations also belong to a class,
-named @samp{Emacs}. If you write @samp{Emacs} instead of
-@samp{emacs}, the resource applies to all frames in all Emacs jobs,
-regardless of frame titles and regardless of the name of the
-executable file.
-
-@item -xrm @var{resource-values}
-@opindex --xrm
-@itemx --xrm=@var{resource-values}
-@cindex resource values, command-line argument
-This option specifies X resource values for the present Emacs job.
-
-@var{resource-values} should have the same format that you would use
-inside a file of X resources. To include multiple resource
-specifications in @var{resource-values}, put a newline between them,
-just as you would in a file. You can also use @samp{#include
-"@var{filename}"} to include a file full of resource specifications.
-Resource values specified with @samp{-xrm} take precedence over all
-other resource specifications.

-@node Table of Resources
-@appendixsec Table of X Resources for Emacs
-
- This table lists the resource names that designate options for
-Emacs, not counting those for the appearance of the menu bar, each
-with the class that it belongs to:
-
-@table @asis
-@item @code{background} (class @code{Background})
-Background color name.
-
-@ifnottex
-@item @code{bitmapIcon} (class @code{BitmapIcon})
-Use a bitmap icon (a picture of a gnu) if @samp{on}, let the window
-manager choose an icon if @samp{off}.
-@end ifnottex
-
-@item @code{borderColor} (class @code{BorderColor})
-Color name for the external border.
-
-@ifnottex
-@item @code{borderWidth} (class @code{BorderWidth})
-Width in pixels of the external border.
-@end ifnottex
-
-@item @code{cursorColor} (class @code{Foreground})
-Color name for text cursor (point).
-
-@ifnottex
-@item @code{cursorBlink} (class @code{CursorBlink})
-Specifies whether to make the cursor blink. The default is @samp{on}. Use
-@samp{off} or @samp{false} to turn cursor blinking off.
-@end ifnottex
-
-@item @code{font} (class @code{Font})
-Font name for the @code{default} font. @xref{Fonts}. You can also
-specify a fontset name (@pxref{Fontsets}).
-
-@item @code{fontBackend} (class @code{FontBackend})
-The backend(s) to use for drawing fonts; if multiple backends are
-specified, they must be comma-delimited and given in order of
-precedence. On X, for instance, the value @samp{x,xft} tells Emacs to
-draw fonts using the X core font driver, falling back on the Xft font
-driver if that fails. Normally, you can leave this resource unset, in
-which case Emacs tries using all font backends available on your
-graphical device.
-
-@item @code{foreground} (class @code{Foreground})
-Color name for text.
-
-@item @code{geometry} (class @code{Geometry})
-Window size and position. Be careful not to specify this resource as
-@samp{emacs*geometry}, because that may affect individual menus as well
-as the Emacs frame itself.
-
-If this resource specifies a position, that position applies only to the
-initial Emacs frame (or, in the case of a resource for a specific frame
-name, only that frame). However, the size, if specified here, applies to
-all frames.
-
-@ifnottex
-@item @code{fullscreen} (class @code{Fullscreen})
-The desired fullscreen size. The value can be one of @code{fullboth},
-@code{maximized}, @code{fullwidth} or @code{fullheight}, which correspond to
-the command-line options @samp{-fs}, @samp{-mm}, @samp{-fw}, and @samp{-fh}
-(@pxref{Window Size X}).
-
-Note that this applies to the initial frame only.
-@end ifnottex
-
-@item @code{iconName} (class @code{Title})
-Name to display in the icon.
-
-@item @code{internalBorder} (class @code{BorderWidth})
-Width in pixels of the internal border.
-
-@item @code{lineSpacing} (class @code{LineSpacing})
-@cindex line spacing
-@cindex leading
-Additional space (@dfn{leading}) between lines, in pixels.
-
-@item @code{menuBar} (class @code{MenuBar})
-@cindex menu bar

-If @samp{none}, don't make a minibuffer in this frame.
-It will use a separate minibuffer frame instead.
-
-@item @code{paneFont} (class @code{Font})
-@cindex font for menus
-Font name for menu pane titles, in non-toolkit versions of Emacs.
-@end ifnottex
-
-@item @code{pointerColor} (class @code{Foreground})
-Color of the mouse cursor.
-
-@ifnottex
-@item @code{privateColormap} (class @code{PrivateColormap})
-If @samp{on}, use a private color map, in the case where the ``default
-visual'' of class PseudoColor and Emacs is using it.
-
-@item @code{reverseVideo} (class @code{ReverseVideo})
-Switch foreground and background default colors if @samp{on}, use colors as
-specified if @samp{off}.
-@end ifnottex
-
-@item @code{screenGamma} (class @code{ScreenGamma})
-@cindex gamma correction
-Gamma correction for colors, equivalent to the frame parameter
-@code{screen-gamma}.
-
-@item @code{scrollBarWidth} (class @code{ScrollBarWidth})
-@cindex scrollbar width
-The scroll bar width in pixels, equivalent to the frame parameter
-@code{scroll-bar-width}.
-
-@ifnottex
-@item @code{selectionFont} (class @code{SelectionFont})
-Font name for pop-up menu items, in non-toolkit versions of Emacs. (For
-toolkit versions, see @ref{Lucid Resources}, also see @ref{LessTif
-Resources}.)
-
-@item @code{selectionTimeout} (class @code{SelectionTimeout})
-Number of milliseconds to wait for a selection reply.
-If the selection owner doesn't reply in this time, we give up.
-A value of 0 means wait as long as necessary.
-
-@item @code{synchronous} (class @code{Synchronous})
-@cindex debugging X problems
-@cindex synchronous X mode
-Run Emacs in synchronous mode if @samp{on}. Synchronous mode is
-useful for debugging X problems.
-@end ifnottex
-
-@item @code{title} (class @code{Title})
-Name to display in the title bar of the initial Emacs frame.
-
-@item @code{toolBar} (class @code{ToolBar})
-@cindex tool bar
-Number of lines to reserve for the tool bar. A zero value suppresses
-the tool bar. For the Emacs tool bar (i.e. not Gtk+), if the value is
-non-zero and @code{auto-resize-tool-bars} is non-@code{nil}, the tool bar's
-size will be changed automatically so that all tool bar items are visible.
- If the value of @code{auto-resize-tool-bars} is @code{grow-only},
-the tool bar expands automatically, but does not contract automatically.
-To contract the tool bar, you must redraw the frame by entering @kbd{C-l}.
-For the Gtk+ tool bar, any non-zero value means on and
-@code{auto-resize-tool-bars} has no effect.
-
-@item @code{useXIM} (class @code{UseXIM})
-@cindex XIM
-@cindex X input methods
-@cindex input methods, X
-Turn off use of X input methods (XIM) if @samp{false} or @samp{off}.
-This is only relevant if your Emacs is actually built with XIM
-support. It is potentially useful to turn off XIM for efficiency,
-especially slow X client/server links.
-
-@item @code{verticalScrollBars} (class @code{ScrollBars})
-Give frames scroll bars if @samp{on}; don't have scroll bars if
-@samp{off}.
-
-@ifnottex
-@item @code{visualClass} (class @code{VisualClass})
-Specify the ``visual'' that X should use. This tells X how to handle
-colors.
-
-The value should start with one of @samp{TrueColor},
-@samp{PseudoColor}, @samp{DirectColor}, @samp{StaticColor},
-@samp{GrayScale}, and @samp{StaticGray}, followed by
-@samp{-@var{depth}}, where @var{depth} is the number of color planes.
-Most terminals only allow a few ``visuals,'' and the @samp{dpyinfo}
-program outputs information saying which ones.

-@item @var{face}.attributeForeground
-Foreground color for face @var{face}.
-@item @var{face}.attributeBackground
-Background color for face @var{face}.
-@item @var{face}.attributeUnderline
-Underline flag for face @var{face}. Use @samp{on} or @samp{true} for
-yes.
-@item @var{face}.attributeStrikeThrough
-@itemx @var{face}.attributeOverline
-@itemx @var{face}.attributeBox
-@itemx @var{face}.attributeInverse
-Likewise, for other boolean font attributes.
-@item @var{face}.attributeStipple
-The name of a pixmap data file to use for the stipple pattern, or
-@code{false} to not use stipple for the face @var{face}.
-@item @var{face}.attributeBackgroundPixmap
-The background pixmap for the face @var{face}. Should be a name of a
-pixmap file or @code{false}.
-@item @var{face}.attributeFont
-Font name (full XFD name or valid X abbreviation) for face @var{face}.
-Instead of this, you can specify the font through separate attributes.
-@end table
-
- Instead of using @code{attributeFont} to specify a font name, you can
-select a font through these separate attributes:
-
-@table @code
-@item @var{face}.attributeFamily
-Font family for face @var{face}.
-@item @var{face}.attributeHeight
-Height of the font to use for face @var{face}: either an integer
-specifying the height in units of 1/10@dmn{pt}, or a floating point
-number that specifies a scale factor to scale the underlying face's
-default font, or a function to be called with the default height which
-will return a new height.
-@item @var{face}.attributeWidth
-@itemx @var{face}.attributeWeight
-@itemx @var{face}.attributeSlant
-Each of these resources corresponds to a like-named font attribute,
-and you write the resource value the same as the symbol you would use
-for the font attribute value.
-@item @var{face}.attributeBold
-Bold flag for face @var{face}---instead of @code{attributeWeight}. Use @samp{on} or @samp{true} for

-@cindex Lucid Widget X Resources
-
-@ifnottex
- If the Emacs installed at your site was built to use the X toolkit
-with the Lucid menu widgets, then the menu bar is a separate widget and
-has its own resources. The resource names contain @samp{pane.menubar}
-(following, as always, the name of the Emacs invocation, or @samp{Emacs},
-which stands for all Emacs invocations). Specify them like this:
-
-@example
-Emacs.pane.menubar.@var{resource}: @var{value}
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-For example, to specify the font @samp{Courier-12} for the menu-bar items,
-write this:
-@end ifnottex
-@iftex
- If the Emacs installed at your site was built to use the X toolkit
-with the Lucid menu widgets, then the menu bar is a separate widget
-and has its own resources. The resource specifications start with
-@samp{Emacs.pane.menubar}---for instance, to specify the font
-@samp{Courier-12} for the menu-bar items, write this:
-@end iftex
-
-@example
-Emacs.pane.menubar.font: Courier-12
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-To specify a font, use fontconfig font names as values to the @code{font}
-resource, or old style names:
-
-@example
-Emacs.pane.menubar.font: lucidasanstypewriter-10
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-Emacs first tries to open the font as an old style font, and if that fails
-as an fontconfig font. In rare cases, Emacs might do the wrong thing.
-
-@noindent
-The Lucid menus can display multilingual text in your locale with old style
-fonts. For more information about fontsets see the man page for
-@code{XCreateFontSet}. To enable multilingual menu text you specify a
-@code{fontSet} resource instead of the font resource. If both
-@code{font} and @code{fontSet} resources are specified, the
-@code{fontSet} resource is used.
-
- Thus, to specify @samp{-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*,*}
-for both the popup and menu bar menus, write this:
-
-@example
-Emacs*menu*fontSet: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*,*
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-Resources for @emph{non-menubar} toolkit pop-up menus have
-@samp{menu*} instead of @samp{pane.menubar}. For example, to specify
-the font @samp{8x16} for the pop-up menu items, write this:
-
-@example
-Emacs.menu*.font: 8x16
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-For dialog boxes, use @samp{dialog*}:
-
-@example
-Emacs.dialog*.font: Sans-12
-@end example
-
-@noindent
-The @samp{*menu*} as a wildcard matches @samp{pane.menubar} and
-@samp{menu@dots{}}.
-
-Experience shows that on some systems you may need to add
-@samp{shell.}@: before the @samp{pane.menubar} or @samp{menu*}. On
-some other systems, you must not add @samp{shell.}. The generic wildcard
-approach should work on both kinds of systems.
-
- Here is a list of the specific resources for menu bars and pop-up menus:
-
-@table @code
-@item font
-Font for menu item text.
-@item fontSet
-Fontset for menu item text.
-@item foreground
-Color of the foreground.
-@item background
-Color of the background.
-@item buttonForeground
-In the menu bar, the color of the foreground for a selected item.
-@ifnottex
-@item horizontalSpacing
-Horizontal spacing in pixels between items. Default is 3.
-@item verticalSpacing
-Vertical spacing in pixels between items. Default is 2.
-@item arrowSpacing
-Horizontal spacing between the arrow (which indicates a submenu) and
-the associated text. Default is 10.
-@item shadowThickness
-Thickness of shadow line around the widget. Default is 1.
-
-Also determines the thickness of shadow lines around other objects,
-for instance 3D buttons and arrows. If you have the impression that
-the arrows in the menus do not stand out clearly enough or that the
-difference between ``in'' and ``out'' buttons is difficult to see, set
-this to 2. If you have no problems with visibility, the default
-probably looks better. The background color may also have some effect
-on the contrast.
-@end ifnottex
-@item margin
-The margin of the menu bar, in characters. Default is 1.

-@cindex Menu X Resources (LessTif widgets)
-@cindex LessTif Widget X Resources
-
- If the Emacs installed at your site was built to use the X toolkit
-with the LessTif or Motif widgets, then the menu bar, the dialog
-boxes, the pop-up menus, and the file-selection box are separate
-widgets and have their own resources.
-
- The resource names for the menu bar contain @samp{pane.menubar}
-(following, as always, the name of the Emacs invocation, or
-@samp{Emacs}, which stands for all Emacs invocations). Specify them
-like this:
-
-@smallexample
-Emacs.pane.menubar.@var{subwidget}.@var{resource}: @var{value}
-@end smallexample
-
- Each individual string in the menu bar is a subwidget; the subwidget's
-name is the same as the menu item string. For example, the word
-@samp{File} in the menu bar is part of a subwidget named
-@samp{emacs.pane.menubar.File}. Most likely, you want to specify the
-same resources for the whole menu bar. To do this, use @samp{*} instead
-of a specific subwidget name. For example, to specify the font
-@samp{8x16} for the menu-bar items, write this:
-
-@smallexample
-Emacs.pane.menubar.*.fontList: 8x16
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-This also specifies the resource value for submenus.
-
- Each item in a submenu in the menu bar also has its own name for X
-resources; for example, the @samp{File} submenu has an item named
-@samp{Save (current buffer)}. A resource specification for a submenu
-item looks like this:
-
-@smallexample
-Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.@var{menu}.@var{item}.@var{resource}: @var{value}
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-For example, here's how to specify the font for the @samp{Save (current
-buffer)} item:
-
-@smallexample
-Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.File.Save (current buffer).fontList: 8x16
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-For an item in a second-level submenu, such as @samp{Complete Word}
-under @samp{Spell Checking} under @samp{Tools}, the resource fits this
-template:
-
-@smallexample
-Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.popup_*.@var{menu}.@var{resource}: @var{value}
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-For example,
-
-@smallexample
-Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.popup_*.Spell Checking.Complete Word: @var{value}
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-(This should be one long line.)
-
- It's impossible to specify a resource for all the menu-bar items
-without also specifying it for the submenus as well. So if you want the
-submenu items to look different from the menu bar itself, you must ask
-for that in two steps. First, specify the resource for all of them;
-then, override the value for submenus alone. Here is an example:
-
-@smallexample
-Emacs.pane.menubar.*.fontList: 8x16
-Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.fontList: 8x16
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-For LessTif pop-up menus, use @samp{menu*} instead of
-@samp{pane.menubar}. For example, to specify the font @samp{8x16} for
-the pop-up menu items, write this:
-
-@smallexample
-Emacs.menu*.fontList: 8x16
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-For LessTif dialog boxes, use @samp{dialog} instead of @samp{menu}:
-
-@example
-Emacs.dialog*.fontList: 8x16
-Emacs.dialog*.foreground: hotpink
-@end example
-
-To specify resources for the LessTif file-selection box, use
-@samp{fsb*}, like this:
-
-@example
-Emacs.fsb*.fontList: 8x16
-@end example
-
-@iftex
-@medbreak
-@end iftex
- Here is a list of the specific resources for LessTif menu bars and
-pop-up menus:
-
-@table @code
-@item armColor
-The color to show in an armed button.
-@item fontList
-The font to use.
-@item marginBottom
-@itemx marginHeight
-@itemx marginLeft
-@itemx marginRight
-@itemx marginTop
-@itemx marginWidth
-Amount of space to leave around the item, within the border.
-@item borderWidth
-The width of the border around the menu item, on all sides.
-@item shadowThickness
-The width of the border shadow.
-@item bottomShadowColor

- The most common way to customize the GTK widgets Emacs uses (menus, dialogs
-tool bars and scroll bars) is by choosing an appropriate theme, for example
-with the GNOME theme selector.
-
-You can also do Emacs specific customization
-by inserting GTK style directives in the file @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc},
-but only if you have a Gtk+ version earlier than 3 (i.e. 2). Some GTK
-themes ignore customizations in @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc} so not everything
-works with all themes. To customize Emacs font, background, faces, etc., use
-the normal X resources (@pxref{Resources}). We will present some examples of
-customizations here, but for a more detailed description, see the online manual
-
- The first example is just one line. It changes the font on all GTK widgets
-to courier with size 12:
-
-@smallexample
-gtk-font-name = "courier 12"
-@end smallexample
-
- The thing to note is that the font name is not an X font name, like
--*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*, but a Pango font name. A Pango
-font name is basically of the format "family style size", where the style
-is optional as in the case above. A name with a style could be for example:
-
-@smallexample
-gtk-font-name = "helvetica bold 10"
-@end smallexample
-
- To customize widgets you first define a style and then apply the style to
-the widgets. Here is an example that sets the font for menus, but not
-for other widgets:
-
-@smallexample
-# @r{Define the style @samp{menufont}.}
-style "menufont"
-@{
- font_name = "helvetica bold 14" # This is a Pango font name
-@}
-
-# @r{Specify that widget type @samp{*emacs-menuitem*} uses @samp{menufont}.}
-widget "*emacs-menuitem*" style "menufont"
-@end smallexample
-
-The widget name in this example contains wildcards, so the style will be
-applied to all widgets that match "*emacs-menuitem*". The widgets are
-named by the way they are contained, from the outer widget to the inner widget.
-So to apply the style "my_style" (not shown) with the full, absolute name, for
-the menubar and the scroll bar in Emacs we use:
-
-@smallexample
-widget "Emacs.pane.menubar" style "my_style"
-widget "Emacs.pane.emacs.verticalScrollBar" style "my_style"
-@end smallexample
-
-But to avoid having to type it all, wildcards are often used. @samp{*}
-matches zero or more characters and @samp{?} matches one character. So "*"
-matches all widgets.
-
- Each widget has a class (for example GtkMenuItem) and a name (emacs-menuitem).
-You can assign styles by name or by class. In this example we have used the
-class:
-
-@smallexample
-style "menufont"
-@{
- font_name = "helvetica bold 14"
-@}
-
-widget_class "*GtkMenuBar" style "menufont"
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-The names and classes for the GTK widgets Emacs uses are:
-
-@multitable {@code{verticalScrollbar plus}} {@code{GtkFileSelection} and some}
-@item @code{emacs-filedialog}
-@tab @code{GtkFileSelection}
-@item @code{emacs-dialog}
-@tab @code{GtkDialog}
-@item @code{Emacs}
-@tab @code{GtkWindow}
-@item @code{pane}
-@tab @code{GtkVHbox}
-@item @code{emacs}
-@tab @code{GtkFixed}
-@item @code{verticalScrollBar}
-@tab @code{GtkVScrollbar}
-@item @code{emacs-toolbar}
-@tab @code{GtkToolbar}
-@item @code{menubar}
-@tab @code{GtkMenuBar}
-@item @code{emacs-menuitem}
-@tab anything in menus
-@end multitable
-
- GTK absolute names are quite strange when it comes to menus
-and dialogs. The names do not start with @samp{Emacs}, as they are
-free-standing windows and not contained (in the GTK sense) by the
-Emacs GtkWindow. To customize the dialogs and menus, use wildcards like this:
-
-@smallexample
-widget "*emacs-dialog*" style "my_dialog_style"
-widget "*emacs-filedialog* style "my_file_style"
-widget "*emacs-menuitem* style "my_menu_style"
-@end smallexample
-
- If you specify a customization in @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}, then it
-automatically applies only to Emacs, since other programs don't read
-that file. For example, the drop down menu in the file dialog can not
-be customized by any absolute widget name, only by an absolute class
-name. This is because the widgets in the drop down menu do not
-have names and the menu is not contained in the Emacs GtkWindow. To
-have all menus in Emacs look the same, use this in
-@file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}:
-
-@smallexample
-widget_class "*Menu*" style "my_menu_style"
-@end smallexample
-
- Here is a more elaborate example, showing how to change the parts of
-the scroll bar:
-
-@smallexample
-style "scroll"
-@{
- fg[NORMAL] = "red"@ @ @ @ @ # @r{The arrow color.}
- bg[NORMAL] = "yellow"@ @ # @r{The thumb and background around the arrow.}
- bg[ACTIVE] = "blue"@ @ @ @ # @r{The trough color.}
- bg[PRELIGHT] = "white"@ # @r{The thumb color when the mouse is over it.}
-@}
-
-widget "*verticalScrollBar*" style "scroll"
-@end smallexample
-@end iftex
-
-@ifnottex
-@cindex GTK resources and customization
-@cindex resource files for GTK
-@cindex @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0} file
-@cindex @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc} file
-
- If Emacs was built to use the GTK widget set, then the menu bar, tool bar,
-scroll bar and the dialogs are customized with the standard GTK
-customization file, @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0}, or with the Emacs specific
-file @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}. We recommend that you use
-@file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc} for customizations, since @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0}
-seems to be ignored when running GConf with GNOME. These files apply
-only to GTK widget features. To customize Emacs font, background,
-faces, etc., use the normal X resources (@pxref{Resources}).
-
- Some GTK themes override these mechanisms, which means that using
-these mechanisms will not work to customize them.
-
- In these files you first define a style and say what it means; then
-you specify to apply the style to various widget types (@pxref{GTK
-widget names}). Here is an example of how to change the font for
-Emacs menus:
-
-@smallexample
-# @r{Define the style @samp{menufont}.}
-style "menufont"
-@{
- font_name = "helvetica bold 14" # This is a Pango font name
-@}
-
-# @r{Specify that widget type @samp{*emacs-menuitem*} uses @samp{menufont}.}
-widget "*emacs-menuitem*" style "menufont"
-@end smallexample
-
- Here is a more elaborate example, showing how to change the parts of
-the scroll bar:
-
-@smallexample
-style "scroll"
-@{
- fg[NORMAL] = "red"@ @ @ @ @ # @r{The arrow color.}
- bg[NORMAL] = "yellow"@ @ # @r{The thumb and background around the arrow.}
- bg[ACTIVE] = "blue"@ @ @ @ # @r{The trough color.}
- bg[PRELIGHT] = "white"@ # @r{The thumb color when the mouse is over it.}
-@}
-
-widget "*verticalScrollBar*" style "scroll"
-@end smallexample
-
- There are also parameters that affect GTK as a whole. For example,
-the property @code{gtk-font-name} sets the default font for GTK. You
-must use Pango font names (@pxref{GTK styles}). A GTK resources file
-that just sets a default font looks like this:
-
-@smallexample
-gtk-font-name = "courier 12"
-@end smallexample
-
- The GTK resources file is fully described in the GTK API document.
-This can be found in
-@file{@var{prefix}/share/gtk-doc/html/gtk/gtk-resource-files.html},
-where @file{prefix} is the directory in which the GTK libraries were
-installed (usually @file{/usr} or @file{/usr/local}). You can also
-find the document online, at
-@uref{http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html}.

-@appendixsubsec GTK widget names
-@cindex GTK widget names
-
- A GTK widget is specified by its @dfn{widget class} and
-@dfn{widget name}. The widget class is the type of the widget: for
-example, @code{GtkMenuBar}. The widget name is the name given to a
-specific widget. A widget always has a class, but need not have a
-name.
-
- @dfn{Absolute names} are sequences of widget names or widget
-classes, corresponding to hierarchies of widgets embedded within
-other widgets. For example, if a @code{GtkWindow} named @code{top}
-contains a @code{GtkVBox} named @code{box}, which in turn contains
-a @code{GtkMenuBar} called @code{menubar}, the absolute class name
-of the menu-bar widget is @code{GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar}, and
-its absolute widget name is @code{top.box.menubar}.
-
- When assigning a style to a widget, you can use the absolute class
-name or the absolute widget name.
-
- There are two commands to specify changes for widgets:
-
-@table @asis
-@item @code{widget_class}
-specifies a style for widgets based on the absolute class name.
-
-@item @code{widget}
-specifies a style for widgets based on the absolute class name,
-or just the class.
-@end table
-
-@noindent
-You must specify the class and the style in double-quotes, and put
-these commands at the top level in the GTK customization file, like
-this:
-
-@smallexample
-style "menufont"
-@{
- font_name = "helvetica bold 14"
-@}
-
-widget "top.box.menubar" style "menufont"
-widget_class "GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar" style "menufont"
-@end smallexample
-
- Matching of absolute names uses shell wildcard syntax: @samp{*}
-matches zero or more characters and @samp{?} matches one character.
-This example assigns @code{base_style} to all widgets:
-
-@smallexample
-widget "*" style "base_style"
-@end smallexample
-
- Given the absolute class name @code{GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar}
-and the corresponding absolute widget name @code{top.box.menubar}, all
-these examples specify @code{my_style} for the menu bar:
-
-@smallexample
-widget_class "GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar" style "my_style"
-widget_class "GtkWindow.*.GtkMenuBar" style "my_style"
-widget_class "*GtkMenuBar" style "my_style"
-widget "top.box.menubar" style "my_style"
-widget "*box*menubar" style "my_style"
-widget "*menubar" style "my_style"
-widget "*menu*" style "my_style"
-@end smallexample
-
-@node GTK Names in Emacs
-@appendixsubsec GTK Widget Names in Emacs
-@cindex GTK widget names
-@cindex GTK widget classes
-
- In Emacs, the top level widget for a frame is a @code{GtkWindow}
-that contains a @code{GtkVBox}. The @code{GtkVBox} contains the
-@code{GtkMenuBar} and a @code{GtkFixed} widget. The vertical scroll
-bars, @code{GtkVScrollbar}, are contained in the @code{GtkFixed}
-widget. The text you write in Emacs is drawn in the @code{GtkFixed}
-widget.
-
- Dialogs in Emacs are @code{GtkDialog} widgets. The file dialog is a
-@code{GtkFileSelection} widget.
-
-@noindent
-To set a style for the menu bar using the absolute class name, use:
-
-@smallexample
-widget_class "GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar" style "my_style"
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-For the scroll bar, the absolute class name is:
-
-@smallexample
-widget_class
- "GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkFixed.GtkVScrollbar"
- style "my_style"
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-The names for the emacs widgets, and their classes, are:
-
-@multitable {@code{verticalScrollbar plus}} {@code{GtkFileSelection} and some}
-@item @code{emacs-filedialog}
-@tab @code{GtkFileSelection}
-@item @code{emacs-dialog}
-@tab @code{GtkDialog}
-@item @code{Emacs}
-@tab @code{GtkWindow}
-@item @code{pane}
-@tab @code{GtkVHbox}
-@item @code{emacs}
-@tab @code{GtkFixed}
-@item @code{verticalScrollBar}
-@tab @code{GtkVScrollbar}
-@item @code{emacs-toolbar}
-@tab @code{GtkToolbar}
-@item @code{menubar}
-@tab @code{GtkMenuBar}
-@item @code{emacs-menuitem}
-@tab anything in menus
-@end multitable
-
-@noindent
-Thus, for Emacs you can write the two examples above as:
-
-@smallexample
-widget "Emacs.pane.menubar" style "my_style"
-widget "Emacs.pane.emacs.verticalScrollBar" style "my_style"
-@end smallexample
-
- GTK absolute names are quite strange when it comes to menus
-and dialogs. The names do not start with @samp{Emacs}, as they are
-free-standing windows and not contained (in the GTK sense) by the
-Emacs GtkWindow. To customize the dialogs and menus, use wildcards like this:
-
-@smallexample
-widget "*emacs-dialog*" style "my_dialog_style"
-widget "*emacs-filedialog* style "my_file_style"
-widget "*emacs-menuitem* style "my_menu_style"
-@end smallexample
-
- If you specify a customization in @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}, then it
-automatically applies only to Emacs, since other programs don't read
-that file. For example, the drop down menu in the file dialog can not
-be customized by any absolute widget name, only by an absolute class
-name. This is because the widgets in the drop down menu do not
-have names and the menu is not contained in the Emacs GtkWindow. To
-have all menus in Emacs look the same, use this in

-
-@smallexample
-widget_class "*Menu*" style "my_menu_style"
-@end smallexample
-
-@node GTK styles
-@appendixsubsec GTK styles
-@cindex GTK styles
-
- In a GTK style you specify the appearance widgets shall have. You
-can specify foreground and background color, background pixmap and
-font. The edit widget (where you edit the text) in Emacs is a GTK
-widget, but trying to specify a style for the edit widget will have no
-effect. This is so that Emacs compiled for GTK is compatible with
-Emacs compiled for other X toolkits. The settings for foreground,
-background and font for the edit widget is taken from the X resources;
-@pxref{Resources}. Here is an example of two style declarations,
-@samp{default} and @samp{ruler}:
-
-@smallexample
-pixmap_path "/usr/share/pixmaps:/usr/include/X11/pixmaps"
-
-style "default"
-@{
- font_name = "helvetica 12"
-
- bg[NORMAL] = @{ 0.83, 0.80, 0.73 @}
- bg[SELECTED] = @{ 0.0, 0.55, 0.55 @}
- bg[INSENSITIVE] = @{ 0.77, 0.77, 0.66 @}
- bg[ACTIVE] = @{ 0.0, 0.55, 0.55 @}
- bg[PRELIGHT] = @{ 0.0, 0.55, 0.55 @}
-
- fg[NORMAL] = "black"
- fg[SELECTED] = @{ 0.9, 0.9, 0.9 @}
- fg[ACTIVE] = "black"
- fg[PRELIGHT] = @{ 0.9, 0.9, 0.9 @}
-
- base[INSENSITIVE] = "#777766"
- text[INSENSITIVE] = @{ 0.60, 0.65, 0.57 @}
-
- bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "background.xpm"
- bg_pixmap[INSENSITIVE] = "background.xpm"
- bg_pixmap[ACTIVE] = "background.xpm"
- bg_pixmap[PRELIGHT] = "<none>"
-
-@}
-
-style "ruler" = "default"
-@{
- font_name = "helvetica 8"
-@}
-
-@end smallexample
-
- The style @samp{ruler} inherits from @samp{default}. This way you can build
-on existing styles. The syntax for fonts and colors is described below.
-
- As this example shows, it is possible to specify several values for
-foreground and background depending on the widget's @dfn{state}. The
-possible states are:
-
-@table @code
-@item NORMAL
-This is the default state for widgets.
-@item ACTIVE
-This is the state for a widget that is ready to do something. It is
-also for the trough of a scroll bar, i.e. @code{bg[ACTIVE] = "red"}
-sets the scroll bar trough to red. Buttons that have been pressed but
-not released yet (``armed'') are in this state.
-@item PRELIGHT
-This is the state for a widget that can be manipulated, when the mouse
-pointer is over it---for example when the mouse is over the thumb in
-the scroll bar or over a menu item. When the mouse is over a button
-that is not pressed, the button is in this state.
-@item SELECTED
-This is the state for data that has been selected by the user. It can
-be selected text or items selected in a list. This state is not used
-in Emacs.
-@item INSENSITIVE
-This is the state for widgets that are visible, but they can not be
-manipulated in the usual way---for example, buttons that can't be
-pressed, and disabled menu items. To display disabled menu items in
-yellow, use @code{fg[INSENSITIVE] = "yellow"}.
-@end table
-
- Here are the things that can go in a style declaration:
-
-@table @code
-@item bg[@var{state}] = @var{color}
-This specifies the background color for the widget. Note that
-editable text doesn't use @code{bg}; it uses @code{base} instead.
-
-@item base[@var{state}] = @var{color}
-This specifies the background color for editable text. In Emacs, this
-color is used for the background of the text fields in the file
-dialog.
-
-@item bg_pixmap[@var{state}] = "@var{pixmap}"
-This specifies an image background (instead of a background color).
-@var{pixmap} should be the image file name. GTK can use a number of
-image file formats, including XPM, XBM, GIF, JPEG and PNG. If you
-want a widget to use the same image as its parent, use
-@samp{<parent>}. If you don't want any image, use @samp{<none>}.
-@samp{<none>} is the way to cancel a background image inherited from a
-parent style.
-
-You can't specify the file by its absolute file name. GTK looks for
-the pixmap file in directories specified in @code{pixmap_path}.
-@code{pixmap_path} is a colon-separated list of directories within
-double quotes, specified at the top level in a @file{gtkrc} file
-(i.e. not inside a style definition; see example above):
-
-@smallexample
-pixmap_path "/usr/share/pixmaps:/usr/include/X11/pixmaps"
-@end smallexample
-
-@item fg[@var{state}] = @var{color}
-This specifies the foreground color for widgets to use. It is the
-color of text in menus and buttons, and the color for the arrows in
-the scroll bar. For editable text, use @code{text}.
-
-@item text[@var{state}] = @var{color}
-This is the color for editable text. In Emacs, this color is used for the
-text fields in the file dialog.
-
-@item font_name = "@var{font}"
-This specifies the font for text in the widget. @var{font} is a
-Pango font name, for example @samp{Sans Italic 10}, @samp{Helvetica
-Bold 12}, @samp{Courier 14}, @samp{Times 18}. See below for exact
-syntax. The names are case insensitive.
-@end table
-
- There are three ways to specify a color: by name, in hexadecimal
-form, and with an RGB triplet.
-
-@noindent
-A color name is written within double quotes, for example @code{"red"}.
-
-@noindent
-Hexadecimal form is the same as in X:
-@code{#@var{rrrr}@var{gggg}@var{bbbb}}, where all three color specs
-must have the same number of hex digits (1, 2, 3 or 4).
-
-@noindent
-An RGB triplet looks like @code{@{ @var{r}, @var{g}, @var{b} @}},
-where @var{r}, @var{g} and @var{b} are either integers in the range
-0-65535 or floats in the range 0.0-1.0.
-
- Pango font names have the form ``@var{family-list} @var{style-options}
-@var{size}.''
-@cindex Pango font name
-@noindent
-@var{family-list} is a comma separated list of font families optionally
-terminated by a comma. This way you can specify several families and the
-first one found will be used. @var{family} corresponds to the second part in
-an X font name, for example in
-
-@smallexample
--adobe-times-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-64-iso10646-1
-@end smallexample
-
-@noindent
-the family name is @samp{times}.
-
-@noindent
-@var{style-options} is a whitespace separated list of words where each word
-is a style, variant, weight, or stretch. The default value for all of
-these is @code{normal}.
-
-@noindent
-A `style' corresponds to the fourth part of an X font name. In X font
-names it is the character @samp{r}, @samp{i} or @samp{o}; in Pango
-font names the corresponding values are @code{normal}, @code{italic},
-or @code{oblique}.
-
-@noindent
-A `variant' is either @code{normal} or @code{small-caps}.
-Small caps is a font with the lower case characters replaced by
-smaller variants of the capital characters.
-
-@noindent
-Weight describes the ``boldness'' of a font. It corresponds to the third
-part of an X font name. It is one of @code{ultra-light}, @code{light},
-@code{normal}, @code{bold}, @code{ultra-bold}, or @code{heavy}.
-
-@noindent
-Stretch gives the width of the font relative to other designs within a
-family. It corresponds to the fifth part of an X font name. It is one of
-@code{ultra-condensed}, @code{extra-condensed}, @code{condensed},
-@code{semi-condensed}, @code{normal}, @code{semi-expanded},
-@code{expanded}, @code{extra-expanded}, or @code{ultra-expanded}.
-
-@noindent
-@var{size} is a decimal number that describes the font size in points.

+When Emacs is built without GTK+ support, the appearance of these

+
+ On MS-Windows, you can customize some of the same aspects using the
+system registry (@pxref{MS-Windows Registry}).
+
+@menu
+* Resources:: Using X resources with Emacs (in general).
+* Table of Resources:: Table of specific X resources that affect Emacs.

+@appendixsec X Resources
+@cindex resources
+@cindex X resources
+@cindex @file{~/.Xdefaults} file
+@cindex @file{~/.Xresources} file
+
+ Programs running under the X Window System organize their user
+options under a hierarchy of classes and resources. You can specify
+default values for these options in your @dfn{X resource file},
+usually named @file{~/.Xdefaults} or @file{~/.Xresources}. Changes in
+this file do not take effect immediately, because the X server stores
+its own list of resources; to update it, use the command
+@command{xrdb}---for instance, @samp{xrdb ~/.Xdefaults}.
+
+@cindex registry, setting resources (MS-Windows)
+ (MS-Windows systems do not support X resource files; on such systems,
+Emacs looks for X resources in the Windows Registry, first under the
+key @samp{HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs}, which affects only
+the current user and override the system-wide settings, and then under
+the key @samp{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs}, which affects
+all users of the system. The menu and scroll bars are native widgets
+on MS-Windows, so they are only customizable via the system-wide
+settings in the Display Control Panel. You can also set resources
+using the @samp{-xrm} command line option, as explained below.)
+
+ Each line in the X resource file specifies a value for one option or
+for a collection of related options. The order in which the lines
+appear in the file does not matter. Each resource specification
+consists of a @dfn{program name} and a @dfn{resource name}. Case
+distinctions are significant in each of these names. Here is an
+example:
+
+@example
+emacs.cursorColor: dark green
+@end example
+
+ The program name is the name of the executable file to which the
+resource applies. For Emacs, this is normally @samp{emacs}. To
+specify a definition that applies to all instances of Emacs,
+regardless of the name of the Emacs executable, use @samp{Emacs}.
+
+ The resource name is the name of a program setting. For instance,
+Emacs recognizes a @samp{cursorColor} resource that controls the color
+of the text cursor.
+
+ Resources are grouped into named classes. For instance, the
+@samp{Foreground} class contains the @samp{cursorColor},
+@samp{foreground} and @samp{pointerColor} resources (@pxref{Table of
+Resources}). Instead of using a resource name, you can use a class
+name to specify the default value for all resources in that class,
+like this:
+
+@example
+emacs.Foreground: dark green
+@end example
+
+ Emacs does not process X resources at all if you set the variable
+@code{inhibit-x-resources} to a non-@code{nil} value. If you invoke
+Emacs with the @samp{-Q} (or @samp{--quick}) command-line option,
+@code{inhibit-x-resources} is automatically set to @code{t}
+(@pxref{Initial Options}).
+
+@ifnottex
+ In addition, you can use the following command-line options to
+override the X resources file:
+
+@table @samp
+@item -name @var{name}
+@opindex --name
+@itemx --name=@var{name}
+@cindex resource name, command-line argument
+This option sets the program name of the initial Emacs frame to
+@var{name}. It also sets the title of the initial frame to
+@var{name}. This option does not affect subsequent frames.
+
+If you don't specify this option, the default is to use the Emacs
+executable's name as the program name.
+
+For consistency, @samp{-name} also specifies the name to use for other
+resource values that do not belong to any particular frame.
+
+The resources that name Emacs invocations also belong to a class,
+named @samp{Emacs}. If you write @samp{Emacs} instead of
+@samp{emacs}, the resource applies to all frames in all Emacs jobs,
+regardless of frame titles and regardless of the name of the
+executable file.
+
+@item -xrm @var{resource-values}

+@cindex resource values, command-line argument
+This option specifies X resource values for the present Emacs job.
+
+@var{resource-values} should have the same format that you would use
+inside a file of X resources. To include multiple resource
+specifications in @var{resource-values}, put a newline between them,

+@node Table of Resources
+@appendixsec Table of X Resources for Emacs
+
+ This table lists the X resource names that Emacs recognizes,
+excluding those that control the appearance of graphical widgets like
+the menu bar:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{background} (class @code{Background})
+Background color (@pxref{Colors}).
+
+@item @code{bitmapIcon} (class @code{BitmapIcon})
+Tell the window manager to display the Emacs icon if @samp{on}; don't
+do so if @samp{off}. @xref{Icons X}, for a description of the icon.
+
+@ifnottex
+@item @code{borderColor} (class @code{BorderColor})
+Color of the frame's external border. This has no effect if Emacs is
+compiled with GTK+ support.
+
+@item @code{borderWidth} (class @code{BorderWidth})
+Width of the frame's external border, in pixels. This has no effect
+if Emacs is compiled with GTK+ support.
+@end ifnottex
+
+@item @code{cursorColor} (class @code{Foreground})
+Text cursor color. If this resource is specified when Emacs starts
+up, Emacs sets its value as the background color of the @code{cursor}
+face (@pxref{Faces}).
+
+@item @code{cursorBlink} (class @code{CursorBlink})
+If the value of this resource is @samp{off} or @samp{false} or
+@samp{0} at startup, Emacs disables Blink Cursor mode (@pxref{Cursor
+Display}).
+
+@item @code{font} (class @code{Font})
+Font name for the @code{default} face (@pxref{Fonts}). You can also
+specify a fontset name (@pxref{Fontsets}).
+
+@item @code{fontBackend} (class @code{FontBackend})
+Comma-delimited list of backend(s) to use for drawing fonts, in order
+of precedence. For instance, the value @samp{x,xft} tells Emacs to
+draw fonts using the X core font driver, falling back on the Xft font
+driver if that fails. Normally, you should leave this resource unset,
+in which case Emacs tries using all available font backends.
+
+@item @code{foreground} (class @code{Foreground})
+Default foreground color for text.
+
+@item @code{geometry} (class @code{Geometry})
+Window size and position. The value should be a size and position
+specification, of the same form as in the @samp{-g} or
+@samp{--geometry} command-line option (@pxref{Window Size X}).
+
+The size applies to all frames in the Emacs session, but the position
+applies only to the initial Emacs frame (or, in the case of a resource
+for a specific frame name, only that frame).
+
+
+Be careful not to specify this resource as @samp{emacs*geometry}, as
+that may affect individual menus as well as the main Emacs frame.
+
+@item @code{fullscreen} (class @code{Fullscreen})
+The desired fullscreen size. The value can be one of @code{fullboth},
+@code{maximized}, @code{fullwidth} or @code{fullheight}, which
+correspond to the command-line options @samp{-fs}, @samp{-mm},
+@samp{-fw}, and @samp{-fh} (@pxref{Window Size X}). Note that this
+applies to the initial frame only.
+
+@ifnottex
+@item @code{iconName} (class @code{Title})

+@cindex line spacing
+Additional space between lines, in pixels.
+
+@item @code{menuBar} (class @code{MenuBar})
+@cindex menu bar
+If the value of this resource is @samp{off} or @samp{false} or
+@samp{0}, Emacs disables Menu Bar mode at startup (@pxref{Menu Bars}).
+
+@ifnottex
+@item @code{minibuffer} (class @code{Minibuffer})
+If @samp{none}, Emacs will not make a minibuffer in this frame; it
+will use a separate minibuffer frame instead.
+
+@item @code{paneFont} (class @code{Font})
+@cindex font for menus
+Font name for menu pane titles, in non-toolkit versions of Emacs.
+@end ifnottex
+
+@item @code{pointerColor} (class @code{Foreground})
+Color of the mouse cursor. This has no effect in many graphical
+desktop environments, as they do not let Emacs change the mouse cursor
+this way.
+
+@ifnottex
+@item @code{privateColormap} (class @code{PrivateColormap})
+If @samp{on}, use a private color map, in the case where the ``default
+visual'' of class PseudoColor and Emacs is using it.
+
+@item @code{reverseVideo} (class @code{ReverseVideo})
+Switch foreground and background default colors if @samp{on}, use colors as
+specified if @samp{off}.
+
+@item @code{screenGamma} (class @code{ScreenGamma})
+@cindex gamma correction
+Gamma correction for colors, equivalent to the frame parameter
+@code{screen-gamma}.
+
+@item @code{scrollBarWidth} (class @code{ScrollBarWidth})
+@cindex scrollbar width
+The scroll bar width in pixels, equivalent to the frame parameter
+@code{scroll-bar-width}. Do not set this resource if Emacs is
+compiled with GTK+ support.
+@end ifnottex
+
+@ifnottex
+@item @code{selectionFont} (class @code{SelectionFont})
+Font name for pop-up menu items, in non-toolkit versions of Emacs. (For
+toolkit versions, see @ref{Lucid Resources}, also see @ref{LessTif
+Resources}.)
+
+@item @code{selectionTimeout} (class @code{SelectionTimeout})
+Number of milliseconds to wait for a selection reply.
+If the selection owner doesn't reply in this time, we give up.
+A value of 0 means wait as long as necessary.
+
+@item @code{synchronous} (class @code{Synchronous})
+@cindex debugging X problems
+@cindex synchronous X mode
+Run Emacs in synchronous mode if @samp{on}. Synchronous mode is
+useful for debugging X problems.
+@end ifnottex
+
+@item @code{title} (class @code{Title})
+Name to display in the title bar of the initial Emacs frame.
+
+@item @code{toolBar} (class @code{ToolBar})
+@cindex tool bar
+If the value of this resource is @samp{off} or @samp{false} or
+@samp{0}, Emacs disables Tool Bar mode at startup (@pxref{Tool Bars}).
+
+@item @code{useXIM} (class @code{UseXIM})
+@cindex XIM
+@cindex X input methods
+@cindex input methods, X
+Disable use of X input methods (XIM) if @samp{false} or @samp{off}.
+This is only relevant if your Emacs is built with XIM support. It
+might be useful to turn off XIM on slow X client/server links.
+
+@item @code{verticalScrollBars} (class @code{ScrollBars})
+Give frames scroll bars if @samp{on}; don't have scroll bars if
+@samp{off}.
+
+@ifnottex
+@item @code{visualClass} (class @code{VisualClass})
+The @dfn{visual class} for X color display. If specified, the value
+should start with one of @samp{TrueColor}, @samp{PseudoColor},
+@samp{DirectColor}, @samp{StaticColor}, @samp{GrayScale}, and
+@samp{StaticGray}, followed by @samp{-@var{depth}}, where @var{depth}
+is the number of color planes.
+@end ifnottex
+@end table
+
+ You can also use X resources to customize individual Emacs faces
+(@pxref{Faces}). For example, setting the resource
+@samp{@var{face}.attributeForeground} is equivalent to customizing the

+recommend customizing faces from within Emacs, instead of using X
+resources. @xref{Face Customization}.

+@node Lucid Resources
+@appendixsec Lucid Menu And Dialog X Resources
+@cindex Menu X Resources (Lucid widgets)
+@cindex Dialog X Resources (Lucid widgets)
+@cindex Lucid Widget X Resources
+
+ If Emacs is compiled with the X toolkit support using Lucid widgets,
+you can use X resources to customize the appearance of the menu bar,
+pop-up menus, and dialog boxes. The resources for the menu bar fall
+in the @samp{pane.menubar} class (following, as always, either the
+name of the Emacs executable or @samp{Emacs} for all Emacs
+invocations). The resources for the pop-up menu are in the
+@samp{menu*} class. The resources for dialog boxes are in the
+@samp{dialog*} class.
+
+ For example, to display menu bar entries with the @samp{Courier-12}
+font (@pxref{Fonts}), write this:
+
+@example
+Emacs.pane.menubar.font: Courier-12
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+Lucid widgets can display multilingual text in your locale. To enable
+this, specify a @code{fontSet} resource instead of a @code{font}
+resource. @xref{Fontsets}. If both @code{font} and @code{fontSet}
+resources are specified, the @code{fontSet} resource is used.
+
+Here is a list of resources for menu bars, pop-up menus, and dialogs:
+
+@table @code
+@item font
+Font for menu item text.
+@item fontSet
+Fontset for menu item text.
+@item foreground
+Foreground color.
+@item background
+Background color.
+@item buttonForeground
+Foreground color for a selected item.
+@ifnottex
+@item horizontalSpacing
+Horizontal spacing in pixels between items. Default is 3.
+@item verticalSpacing
+Vertical spacing in pixels between items. Default is 2.
+@item arrowSpacing
+Horizontal spacing between the arrow (which indicates a submenu) and
+the associated text. Default is 10.
+@item shadowThickness
+Thickness of shadow lines for 3D buttons, arrows, and other graphical
+elements. Default is 1.
+@end ifnottex
+@item margin
+Margin of the menu bar, in characters. Default is 1.

+
+@node LessTif Resources
+@appendixsec LessTif Menu X Resources
+@cindex Menu X Resources (LessTif widgets)
+@cindex LessTif Widget X Resources
+
+ If Emacs is compiled with the X toolkit support using LessTif or
+Motif widgets, you can use X resources to customize the appearance of
+the menu bar, pop-up menus, and dialog boxes. However, the resources
+are organized differently from Lucid widgets.
+
+ The resource names for the menu bar are in the @samp{pane.menubar}
+class, and they must be specified in this form:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.@var{subwidget}.@var{resource}: @var{value}
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+For pop-up menus, the resources are in the @samp{menu*} class, instead
+of @samp{pane.menubar}. For dialog boxes, they are in @samp{dialog}.
+In each case, each individual menu string is a subwidget; the
+subwidget's name is the same as the menu item string. For example,
+the @samp{File} menu in the menu bar is a subwidget named
+@samp{emacs.pane.menubar.File}.
+
+ Typically, you want to specify the same resources for the whole menu
+bar. To do this, use @samp{*} instead of a specific subwidget name.
+For example, to specify the font @samp{8x16} for all menu bar items,
+including submenus, write this:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.*.fontList: 8x16
+@end smallexample
+
+ Each item in a submenu also has its own name for X resources; for
+example, the @samp{File} submenu has an item named @samp{Save (current
+buffer)}. A resource specification for a submenu item looks like
+this:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.@var{menu}.@var{item}.@var{resource}: @var{value}
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+For example, here's how to specify the font for the @samp{Save (current
+buffer)} item:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.File.Save (current buffer).fontList: 8x16
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+For an item in a second-level submenu, such as @samp{Complete Word}
+under @samp{Spell Checking} under @samp{Tools}, the resource fits this
+template:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.popup_*.@var{menu}.@var{resource}: @var{value}
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+For example,
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.popup_*.Spell Checking.Complete Word: @var{value}
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+(This should be one long line.)
+
+ If you want the submenu items to look different from the menu bar
+itself, you must first specify the resource for all of them, then
+override the value for submenus alone. Here is an example:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.*.fontList: 8x16
+Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.fontList: 8x16
+@end smallexample
+
+ To specify resources for the LessTif file-selection box, use
+@samp{fsb*}, like this:
+
+@example
+Emacs.fsb*.fontList: 8x16
+@end example
+
+ Here is a list of resources for LessTif menu bars and pop-up menus:
+
+@table @code
+@item armColor
+The color to show in an armed button.
+@item fontList
+The font to use.
+@item marginBottom
+@itemx marginHeight
+@itemx marginLeft
+@itemx marginRight
+@itemx marginTop
+@itemx marginWidth
+Amount of space to leave around the item, within the border.
+@item borderWidth
+The width of the border around the menu item, on all sides.
+@item shadowThickness
+The width of the border shadow.
+@item bottomShadowColor
+The color for the border shadow, on the bottom and the right.
+@item topShadowColor
+The color for the border shadow, on the top and the left.

+@cindex @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc} file
+
+ If Emacs is compiled with GTK+ toolkit support, the simplest way to
+customize its GTK+ widgets (e.g., menus, dialogs, tool bars and
+scroll bars) is to choose an appropriate GTK+ theme, for example with
+the GNOME theme selector.
+
+ In GTK+ version 2, you can also use @dfn{GTK+ resources} to
+customize the appearance of GTK+ widgets used by Emacs. These
+resources are specified in either the file @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}
+(for Emacs-specific GTK+ resources), or @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0} (for
+general GTK+ resources). We recommend using @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc},
+since GTK+ seems to ignore @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0} when running GConf with
+GNOME@. Note, however, that some GTK themes may override
+customizations in @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}; there is nothing we can do
+about this. GTK+ resources do not affect aspects of Emacs unrelated
+to GTK+ widgets, such as fonts and colors in the main Emacs window;
+those are governed by normal X resources (@pxref{Resources}).
+
+ The following sections describe how to customize GTK+ resources for
+Emacs. For details about GTK+ resources, see the GTK+ API document at
+@uref{http://developer.gnome.org/doc/API/2.0/gtk/gtk-Resource-Files.html}.
+
+ In GTK+ version 3, GTK+ resources have been replaced by a completely
+different system. The appearance of GTK+ widgets is now determined by
+CSS-like style files: @file{gtk-3.0/gtk.css} in the GTK+ installation
+directory, and @file{~/.themes/@var{theme}/gtk-3.0/gtk.css} for local
+style settings (where @var{theme} is the name of the current GTK+
+theme). Therefore, the description of GTK+ resources in this section
+does not apply to GTK+ 3. For details about the GTK+ 3 styling
+system, see
+@uref{http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.0/GtkCssProvider.html}.

+
+@node GTK Resource Basics
+@appendixsubsec GTK Resource Basics
+
+ In a GTK+ 2 resource file (usually @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}), the
+simplest kinds of resource settings simply assign a value to a
+variable. For example, putting the following line in the resource
+file changes the font on all GTK+ widgets to @samp{courier-12}:
+
+@smallexample
+gtk-font-name = "courier 12"
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+Note that in this case the font name must be supplied as a GTK font
+pattern (also called a @dfn{Pango font name}), not as a
+Fontconfig-style font name or XLFD@. @xref{Fonts}.
+
+ To customize widgets you first define a @dfn{style}, and then apply
+the style to the widgets. Here is an example that sets the font for
+menus (@samp{#} characters indicate comments):
+
+@smallexample
+# @r{Define the style @samp{my_style}.}
+style "my_style"
+@{
+ font_name = "helvetica bold 14"
+@}
+
+# @r{Specify that widget type @samp{*emacs-menuitem*} uses @samp{my_style}.}
+widget "*emacs-menuitem*" style "my_style"
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+The widget name in this example contains wildcards, so the style is
+applied to all widgets matching @samp{*emacs-menuitem*}. The widgets
+are named by the way they are contained, from the outer widget to the
+inner widget. Here is another example that applies @samp{my_style}
+specifically to the Emacs menu bar:
+
+@smallexample
+widget "Emacs.pane.menubar.*" style "my_style"
+@end smallexample
+
+ Here is a more elaborate example, showing how to change the parts of
+the scroll bar:
+
+@smallexample
+style "scroll"
+@{
+ fg[NORMAL] = "red"@ @ @ @ @ # @r{Arrow color.}
+ bg[NORMAL] = "yellow"@ @ # @r{Thumb and background around arrow.}
+ bg[ACTIVE] = "blue"@ @ @ @ # @r{Trough color.}
+ bg[PRELIGHT] = "white"@ # @r{Thumb color when the mouse is over it.}
+@}
+
+widget "*verticalScrollBar*" style "scroll"
+@end smallexample
+
+@node GTK Widget Names
+@appendixsubsec GTK widget names
+@cindex GTK widget names
+
+ A GTK+ widget is specified by a @dfn{widget name} and a @dfn{widget
+class}. The widget name refers to a specific widget
+(e.g., @samp{emacs-menuitem}), while the widget class refers to a
+collection of similar widgets (e.g., @samp{GtkMenuItem}). A widget
+always has a class, but need not have a name.
+
+ @dfn{Absolute names} are sequences of widget names or widget
+classes, corresponding to hierarchies of widgets embedded within
+other widgets. For example, if a @code{GtkWindow} named @code{top}
+contains a @code{GtkVBox} named @code{box}, which in turn contains
+a @code{GtkMenuBar} called @code{menubar}, the absolute class name
+of the menu-bar widget is @code{GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar}, and
+its absolute widget name is @code{top.box.menubar}.
+
+ GTK+ resource files can contain two types of commands for specifying
+widget appearances:
+
+@table @code
+@item widget
+specifies a style for widgets based on the class name, or just the
+class.
+
+@item widget_class
+specifies a style for widgets based on the class name.
+@end table
+
+@noindent
+See the previous subsection for examples of using the @code{widget}
+command; the @code{widget_class} command is used similarly. Note that
+the widget name/class and the style must be enclosed in double-quotes,
+and these commands must be at the top level in the GTK+ resource file.
+
+ As previously noted, you may specify a widget name or class with
+shell wildcard syntax: @samp{*} matches zero or more characters and
+@samp{?} matches one character. This example assigns a style to all
+widgets:
+
+@smallexample
+widget "*" style "my_style"
+@end smallexample
+
+@node GTK Names in Emacs
+@appendixsubsec GTK Widget Names in Emacs

+@table @asis
+@item @code{pane} (class @code{GtkVBox})

+@table @asis
+@item @code{verticalScrollBar} (class @code{GtkVScrollbar})
+@end table
+@end table
+@end table
+@end table
+
+@noindent
+The contents of Emacs windows are drawn in the @code{emacs} widget.
+Note that even if there are multiple Emacs windows, each scroll bar
+widget is named @code{verticalScrollBar}.
+
+ For example, here are two different ways to set the menu bar style:
+
+@smallexample
+widget "Emacs.pane.menubar.*" style "my_style"
+widget_class "GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar.*" style "my_style"
+@end smallexample
+
+ For GTK+ dialogs, Emacs uses a widget named @code{emacs-dialog}, of
+class @code{GtkDialog}. For file selection, Emacs uses a widget named
+@code{emacs-filedialog}, of class @code{GtkFileSelection}.
+
+ Because the widgets for pop-up menus and dialogs are free-standing
+windows and not ``contained'' in the @code{Emacs} widget, their GTK+
+absolute names do not start with @samp{Emacs}. To customize these
+widgets, use wildcards like this:
+
+@smallexample
+widget "*emacs-dialog*" style "my_dialog_style"
+widget "*emacs-filedialog* style "my_file_style"
+widget "*emacs-menuitem* style "my_menu_style"
+@end smallexample
+
+ If you want to apply a style to all menus in Emacs, use this:
+
+@smallexample
+widget_class "*Menu*" style "my_menu_style"
+@end smallexample
+
+@node GTK styles

+
+style "default"
+@{
+ font_name = "helvetica 12"
+
+ bg[NORMAL] = @{ 0.83, 0.80, 0.73 @}
+ bg[SELECTED] = @{ 0.0, 0.55, 0.55 @}
+ bg[INSENSITIVE] = @{ 0.77, 0.77, 0.66 @}
+ bg[ACTIVE] = @{ 0.0, 0.55, 0.55 @}
+ bg[PRELIGHT] = @{ 0.0, 0.55, 0.55 @}

+ fg[PRELIGHT] = @{ 0.9, 0.9, 0.9 @}
+
+ base[INSENSITIVE] = "#777766"
+ text[INSENSITIVE] = @{ 0.60, 0.65, 0.57 @}
+
+ bg_pixmap[NORMAL] = "background.xpm"
+ bg_pixmap[INSENSITIVE] = "background.xpm"
+ bg_pixmap[ACTIVE] = "background.xpm"
+ bg_pixmap[PRELIGHT] = "<none>"
+
+@}
+
+style "ruler" = "default"
+@{
+ font_name = "helvetica 8"
+@}
+
+@end smallexample
+
+ The style @samp{ruler} inherits from @samp{default}. This way you can build
+on existing styles. The syntax for fonts and colors is described below.
+
+ As this example shows, it is possible to specify several values for
+foreground and background depending on the widget's @dfn{state}. The
+possible states are:
+
+@table @code
+@item NORMAL
+This is the default state for widgets.
+@item ACTIVE
+This is the state for a widget that is ready to do something. It is
+also for the trough of a scroll bar, i.e., @code{bg[ACTIVE] = "red"}
+sets the scroll bar trough to red. Buttons that have been pressed but
+not released yet (``armed'') are in this state.
+@item PRELIGHT
+This is the state for a widget that can be manipulated, when the mouse
+pointer is over it---for example when the mouse is over the thumb in
+the scroll bar or over a menu item. When the mouse is over a button
+that is not pressed, the button is in this state.
+@item SELECTED
+This is the state for data that has been selected by the user. It can
+be selected text or items selected in a list. This state is not used
+in Emacs.
+@item INSENSITIVE
+This is the state for widgets that are visible, but they can not be
+manipulated in the usual way---for example, buttons that can't be
+pressed, and disabled menu items. To display disabled menu items in
+yellow, use @code{fg[INSENSITIVE] = "yellow"}.
+@end table
+
+ Here are the things that can go in a style declaration:
+
+@table @code
+@item bg[@var{state}] = @var{color}
+This specifies the background color for the widget. Note that
+editable text doesn't use @code{bg}; it uses @code{base} instead.
+
+@item base[@var{state}] = @var{color}
+This specifies the background color for editable text. In Emacs, this
+color is used for the background of the text fields in the file
+dialog.
+
+@item bg_pixmap[@var{state}] = "@var{pixmap}"
+This specifies an image background (instead of a background color).
+@var{pixmap} should be the image file name. GTK can use a number of
+image file formats, including XPM, XBM, GIF, JPEG and PNG@. If you
+want a widget to use the same image as its parent, use
+@samp{<parent>}. If you don't want any image, use @samp{<none>}.
+@samp{<none>} is the way to cancel a background image inherited from a
+parent style.
+
+You can't specify the file by its absolute file name. GTK looks for
+the pixmap file in directories specified in @code{pixmap_path}.
+@code{pixmap_path} is a colon-separated list of directories within
+double quotes, specified at the top level in a @file{gtkrc} file
+(i.e., not inside a style definition; see example above):
+
+@smallexample
+pixmap_path "/usr/share/pixmaps:/usr/include/X11/pixmaps"
+@end smallexample
+
+@item fg[@var{state}] = @var{color}
+This specifies the foreground color for widgets to use. It is the
+color of text in menus and buttons, and the color for the arrows in
+the scroll bar. For editable text, use @code{text}.
+
+@item text[@var{state}] = @var{color}
+This is the color for editable text. In Emacs, this color is used for the
+text fields in the file dialog.
+
+@item font_name = "@var{font}"
+This specifies the font for text in the widget. @var{font} is a
+GTK-style (or Pango) font name, like @samp{Sans Italic 10}.
+@xref{Fonts}. The names are case insensitive.
+@end table
+
+ There are three ways to specify a color: a color name, an RGB
+triplet, or a GTK-style RGB triplet. @xref{Colors}, for a description
+of color names and RGB triplets. Color names should be enclosed with
+double quotes, e.g., @samp{"red"}. RGB triplets should be written
+without double quotes, e.g., @samp{#ff0000}. GTK-style RGB triplets
+have the form @w{@code{@{ @var{r}, @var{g}, @var{b} @}}}, where
+@var{r}, @var{g} and @var{b} are either integers in the range 0-65535
+or floats in the range 0.0-1.0.
