Hmm... Does the "xlogo" program show the X Window System logo in color or monochrome? (The colors in the logo should be white and red.) It uses the application default files XLogo and XLogo-color in the same way as XFig. You could try running XFig with "xfig -xrm '*customization: -color'", just in case that helps. If it does, there is some sort of problem in your X startup scripts - either /etc/X11/Xresources/xfree86-common is not loaded, the X server does not define COLOR for some reason, or there is another *customization resource set somewhere. As a somewhat more "brute force" approach, you could also try creating a file /tmp/Fig containing everything in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Fig _and_ /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/Fig-color, except for the "#include "Fig"" line. Then try running XFig with the environment variable XAPPLRESDIR set to /tmp/, that is, "XAPPLRESDIR=/tmp/ xfig" if you use bash. Which version of the Athena widget set (Xaw) do you use? (To find this out, see which Xaw-related directory is listed first in /etc/ld.so.conf. For me, it's /usr/X11R6/lib/Xaw3d, since I use xaw3d.) I think they all support color settings, but I'm not sure. That's all I can think of for now. For what it's worth, XFig has always worked in color for me, with most buttons being yellow, and so on, without doing anything special... -- -=- Rjs -=- [EMAIL PROTECTED]
