ACTIONS
RESOURCESXcolors has a few top-level application resources that allow customizations that are specific to xcolors.
WIDGET HIERARCHYKnowing the name and position in the hierarchy of each widget is useful when specifying resources for them. In the chart below, the class and name of each widget is given.Xcolors xcolors Paned panes AsciiText sample Viewport viewport Box colors Label colorname Label colorname . . . FILES
BUGSAssumes that all names for the same color are consecutive in the rgb.txt file.Because xcolors cannot read the server's color name database, the color names it uses may not match those in the server. This is most likely to happen if xcolors is run from a remote host. The program would be faster if it used gadgets instead of widgets for the color spots. AUTHORStephen Gildea, X Consortium
