Setting X Resources
To modify the Graphical User Interface resources
The following steps show you how to modify the Graphical User Interface's X
resources.
Copy part or all of the HP64_Softkey application defaults file to a
1
temporary file.
The HP64_Softkey file contains the default definitions for the graphical
interface application's X resources.
For example, on an HP 9000 computer you can use the following command to
copy the complete HP64_Softkey file to HP64_Softkey.tmp (note that the
HP64_Softkey file is several hundred lines long):
cp /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/HP64_Softkey HP64_Softkey.tmp
NOTE: The HP64_Softkey application defaults file is re-created each time
Graphical User Interface software is installed or updated. You can use the
UNIX diff command to check for differences between the new HP64_Softkey
application defaults file and the old application defaults file that is saved as
/usr/hp64000/lib/X11/HP64_schemes/old/HP64_Softkey.
Modify the temporary file.

Modify the resource that defines the behavior or appearance that you wish to
change.
For example, to change the number of lines in the main display area to 36:
vi HP64_Softkey.tmp
Search for the string "HP64_Softkey.lines". You should see lines similar to
the following.
!------------------------------------------------------------------------------
! The lines and columns set the vertical and horizontal dimensions of the
! main display area in characters, respectively.
! and 80 columns.
These minimums are silently enforced.
!
! Note: The application cannot be resized by using the window manager.
!HP64_Softkey.lines:
!HP64_Softkey.columns:
326

85
Minimum values are 18 lines
