X Defaults
The dxpuzzle application uses the values in the .Xdefaults when you
logged in and uses the appropriate resource specification to customize
the appearance dxpuzzle window. The format for a resource specifica‐
tion in the .Xdefaults file is:
[name*]resource: value
name Specifies the application name or the name string that
restricts the resource assignment to that application or to a
component of an application. If this argument is not speci‐
fied, the resource assignment is globally available to all X
applications.
resource Specifies the resource.
value Specifies the value that is to be assigned to the resource.
Because each toolkit-based application can consist of a combination of
widgets (for example, push buttons and a scroll bar), you can form the
name string by adding widget class and name identifiers to the string.
For further information about adding class and name identifiers, see
For dxpuzzle, the available class identifiers are:
Puzzle
WorkArea
For dxpuzzle, the available name identifiers are:
Puzzle*workarea Changes such as font and colors for the work area
