Resources are used by applications to set certain aspects
of appearance and behavior. For example, Style Manager (dtstyle)
provides resources that enable you to specify where the system looks
for files containing information about color palettes:
dtstyle*paletteDirectories: /usr/dt/palettes/C \ HomeDirectory/.dt/palettes |
App-default files for the desktop applications are located
in the /usr/dt/app-defaults/language
directory.
To Set System-Wide
Resources |
 |
Add the resources to the file /etc/dt/config/language/<
sys.resources.
(You may have to create the file.)
For example, if in /etc/dt/config/C/sys.resources
you specify:
AnApplication*resource: value |
then the resource AnApplication*resource
will be set in each user's RESOURCE_MANAGER property at the next
login.
To Set Personal
Resources |
|
Add the resources to the file HomeDirectory/.Xdefaults.
Double-click Reload Resources in the Desktop_Tools
application group.
How the Desktop Loads Resources |
|
Resources are loaded at session start-up by Session Manager.
For information on how Session Manager loads the resources into
the RESOURCE_MANAGER, see “Loading
the Session Resources”.
