I have the same problem.
If I do:
./xemacs -vanilla -q -xrm '*.buffers-tab.attributeBackground:green'
I get green tabs, but I also get a warning:
What makes you think X resources are consulted at all for buffers tab. I
certainly haven't implemented this unless there is some generic code for
picking up face values from X resources. buffers-tab face is specified at
the lisp level.
I hate it when xemacs lies to me.
It seems to me that the buffers-tab face should not inherit from
'default, but from the `gui-element' face. For example, the modeline
face does that.
We maybe ought to vote on this. There is no color support for tabs under
mswindows, so I don't care much.
Agreed. Aren't there standard algorithms already in use in XEmacs
to
determine excellent shadow colors based on the background color?
The tab widget has its own algorithm. I don't think we use much shadow
currently.
Andy, you're best qualified to investigate these, but I'd be
willing
to help.
I certainly don't have much interest in these issues given that they are
all X specific. It would be nice if someone could have a bash at doing
sensible things with the way widgets look under X - I am invariably going
to get it wrong because I don't use it.
