Customize Toolchest menu text font :

Note: the version of Toolchest that ships with MaXX Interactive Desktop DR3 is using SGI-Motif-2.3.1 with XFT support. The actual XFT font is Sans-12. But don't worry, it can be changed back to the traditional look and feel of IRIX.

To customize the look & feel of Toolchest, just edit your $HOME/.Xdefaults file.

To change for instance the font style or/and size, edit the line as shown below:

*toolchest.renderTable: xft
*toolchest.fontType: FONT_IS_XFT
*toolchest.fontName: Sans
*toolchest.fontSize: 12

To switch back to classic look and feel, just comment the line like that:

! *toolchest.renderTable: xft
! *toolchest.fontType: FONT_IS_XFT
! *toolchest.fontName: Sans
! *toolchest.fontSize: 12

Logout/login and voila!
