Xdefault for LSW menu text

danmc
danmc over 11 years ago

For some reason the menu choices in my IC51 LSW window are super faint and hard to read but all of the other menus (Virtoso Layout Editing, CIW, etc) are black and easy to read.  I looked through the list of app-defaults in the manual and nothing is jumping out to me as "oh yeah, that one" for where to fix this.

 

Anyone know which resource controls the LSW menu text color?

 

Thanks

     I currently have:

     

    Opus.foreground:                Black


    When I query the defaults I get:

     

      % xrdb -query | grep Opus
    Opus*XmText*Translations:       #override\n <Key>Delete: delete-previous-character()\n Ctrl<Key>a: beginning-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>b: backward-character()\n Ctrl<Key>d: delete-next-character()\n Ctrl<Key>e: end-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>f: forward-character()\n Ctrl<Key>h: delete-previous-character()\n Ctrl<Key>k: kill-to-end-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>n: next-line()\n Ctrl<Key>p: previous-line()\n Ctrl<Key>u: kill-to-start-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>w: kill-selection()\n Ctrl<Key>y: unkill()\n Meta<Key>b: backward-word()\n Meta<Key>d: kill-next-word()\n Meta<Key>f: forward-word()\n Meta<Key>h: kill-previous-word()\n Meta<Key>y: stuff()
    Opus*XmTextField*Translations:  #override \n <Key>osfDelete: delete-previous-character()\n Ctrl<Key>a: beginning-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>b: backward-character()\n Ctrl<Key>d: delete-next-character()\n Ctrl<Key>e: end-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>f: forward-character()\n Ctrl<Key>h: delete-previous-character()\n Ctrl<Key>k: delete-to-end-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>u: delete-to-start-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>w: delete-selection()\n Meta<Key>b: backward-word()\n Meta<Key>d: delete-next-word()\n Meta<Key>f: forward-word()\n Meta<Key>osfDelete: delete-previous-word()
    Opus.LSWGeometry:       120x700+0+0
    Opus.attentionTextColor:        #000000
    Opus.background:        #e0e0e0
    Opus.foreground:        Black
    Opus.geometry:  700x400-50-50
    Opus.textColor: #000000

     

    If I change Opus.background and Opus.foreground, I see the effects clearly on the CIW window and Virtuoso window menus but the LSW window seems to be unaffected.
