To use customized scheme files

To use customized scheme files
Scheme files are used to set platform specific resources that deal with color, fonts
and sizes, mouse and keyboard operation, and labels and titles. You can create and
use customized scheme files by following these steps.
1 Create the $HOME/.HP64_schemes/<platform> directory.
For example:
mkdir $HOME/.HP64_schemes
mkdir $HOME/.HP64_schemes/HP-UX
2 Copy the scheme file to be modified to the $HOME/.HP64_schemes/<platform>
directory.
Label scheme files are not platform specific; therefore, they should be placed in the
$HOME/.HP64_schemes directory. All other scheme files should be placed in the
$HOME/.HP64_schemes/<platform> directory.
For example:
cp $HP64000/lib/X11/HP64_schemes/HP-UX/Softkey.Color
$HOME/.HP64_schemes/HP-UX/Softkey.MyColor
Note that if your custom scheme file has the same name as the default scheme file,
the load order requires resources in the custom file to explicitly override resources
in the default file.
3 Modify the $HOME/.HP64_schemes/<platform>/Softkey.<scheme> file.
For example, you could modify the
"$HOME/.HP64_schemes/HP-UX/Softkey.MyColor" file to change the defined
foreground and background colors. Also, since the scheme file name is different
than the default, you could comment out various resource settings to cause general
foreground and background color definitions to apply to the Graphical User
Interface. At least one resource must be defined in your color scheme file for it to
be recognized.
