| Sorry, but "change the color of my GPX monitor" still isn't specific enough.
Do you mean "change the screen background color?"

Yes, if you happen to know the window ID of the window whose color attribute
you wish to change.

I believe the author of .0 was looking for a means to apply the
changes which one can make from the session manager window setup (I
believe it's "Window...", my workstations a few thousand miles away
from me right now :-( ) to currently existing windows on the screen.
I don't know why this isn't possible, it would "merely" be changing
an entry in the default colormap for the workstation, rather than
entering a new one for the newly selected/generated color, but I'm not
intimate with the details which might prevent a simple solution.

| 699.9 | Clients need to do it themselves somehow | DECWIN::FISHER | Burns Fisher 381-1466, ZKO3-4/W23 | Thu May 04 1989 15:56 | 14 |
| The problem is that the session manager has no idea what color
indices the other client windows have used for backgrounds...it can
only pass on the color and let the client allocate the color. In
addition, you can't just change the colormap entry since it is most
likely allocated read-only. In addition, the client (or other clients)
might be using it for other reasons.
One could, presumably, set up a protocol using properties or something
to tell the clients that they should check for a new background. That
is probably the best way to do it.

| 699.10 | Here's a workaround, but don't use it on ULTRIX | FLUME::griffin | | Tue May 09 1989 14:09 | 7 |
|
Theoretically, if you make the changes, save them, then make a minor change, then
"Use Last Saved Settings", this will also do what you want.
However, on ULTRIX, this can cause the session manager to either crash
(terminating the session), or dissappear. (This has already been QAR'd)
