The desktop defines a default shadow thickness of one pixel for the components in application windows, such as button shadows and focus highlight. Motif 1.2 (or later) applications use this resource value; other applications may not obtain this resource value and therefore will appear different on the display.

To set the shadow thickness to one pixel for non-Motif 1.2 (or later) applications:

  1. Log in as root.

  2. Create the /etc/dt/config/language/sys.resources file.

  3. Specify the application-specific resource in /etc/dt/config/language/sys.resources as follows:

    application_class_name*XmCascadeButton*shadowThickness: 1

For more information about overriding system default resources and specifying additional resources for all desktop users, see “Loading the Session Resources”
