Change SGI Scheme
First you need to know a few things about schemes...
- The SGI Scheme files are located in : /opt/MaXX/share/X11/schemes
- There are one scheme per entry in the schemes directory: /opt/MaXX/share/X11/schemes/IndigoMagic is for the IndigoMagic scheme.
- They are XResources files that define and preset some default settings (like color, sizes, fonts and etc..) for Xt/Motif Widgets.
- Each and every Xt/Motif applications gets assigned a copy of the current scheme file at start-time. It is done depth inside the libxt-maxx library. This way we do not miss a thing...
- Wish to know more, refer to the - IRIX Interactive Desktop - Integration Guide document in chapter 3 for more detail. MaXX Desktop does not implements all the functionality as describe in the SGI document.
To change the current SGI Scheme to another on, just edit the line as shown below from the file $HOME/.Xdefaults:
*scheme: IndigoMagic
To activate your changes without login out and back in, simply reload the $HOME/.Xdefaults and $HOME/Sgiresources
$ xrdb -load -quiet $HOME/.Xdefaults $ xrdb -merge -quiet $HOME/Sgiresources
Note: Make sure that the Sgiresources file does not contain the scheme definition. It is a bug in DR3 and it will be fixed in the DR3.1 September update. If you have it in your version, just remove he line.
A more in depth wiki will be written to explain all the bits and pieces of MaXX Desktop customization.
