Customization of the Abstract Generator Interface

You can customize the fonts and appearance of the standalone Abstract Generator interface by editing the.Xdefaults file. This section explains how to apply the customized changes and demonstrates how to customize the Abstract Generator flow steps.

After you have added the font or the color scheme specification to your .Xdefaults file, merge the changes into the X resource database (XRDB) using one of the following commands:

• This command overwrites the previously applied changes.
  

  xrdb < <path of the .Xdefaults file>/.Xdefaults

• This command applies over the previously applied change, even if the setting has been removed from the.Xdefaults file.
  

  xrdb -merge <path of the .Xdefaults file>/.Xdefaults

Queries to the XRDB return only the values present when the.Xdefaults file was last read in. However, the .Xdefaults file is usually read in at login on most UNIX systems.
