3696.0. "slider background ?" by IJSAPL::BROUWERS () Tue Nov 20 1990 07:24

    hello,
    
    i have the problem of changing the backgroung color of the slider in a 
    scrollbar.
    This background color is the same as the background of the sesion
    manager.
    How can i change this background color ?
    
    thanks for your help,

    I've added the following to my DECW$XDEFAULTS.DAT:
    
    *Slider:	LightGrey
    
    This changes the color of the slider to nicely contrast with the
    dark blue or black backgrounds I use.

If you're still using XUI, there are 3 color resources controlling color
in scroll bars.  Set them as you desire in the session manager color .DAT file.

*DwtScroll*foreground:  Coral
*DwtScroll*slider:      Khaki
*DwtScroll*background:  Salmon

In Motif, the resource names are different, and there are more resources to
set.  The names are:
	highlightColor	(highlight didn't do anything in XUI, it might in Motif)
	foreground
	background
	troughColor	(i.e. slider color)
	bottomShadowColor
	topShadowColor
