You can customize some X-related aspects of Emacs behavior using X
|
2002-06-20 20:47:08 +00:00
|
|
|
resources, as is usual for programs that use X. On MS-Windows, you
|
|
|
|
can customize some of the same aspects using the system registry.

|
|
When Emacs is built using an `X toolkit', such as Lucid or LessTif,
|
|
|
|
you need to use X resources to customize the appearance of the
|
|
|
|
widgets, including the menu-bar, scroll-bar, and dialog boxes. This
|
|
|
|
is because the libraries that implement these don't provide for
|
|
|
|
customization through Emacs. GTK+ widgets use a separate system of
|
|
|
|
`GTK resources', which we will also describe.

|
|
|
Programs running under the X Window System organize their user
|
|
|
|
options under a hierarchy of classes and resources. You can specify
|
|
|
|
default values for these options in your X resources file, usually
|
2002-10-28 15:04:57 +00:00
|
|
|
named @file{~/.Xdefaults} or @file{~/.Xresources}.
|
|
|
|
If changes in @file{~/.Xdefaults} do not
|
2002-01-21 22:18:16 +00:00
|
|
|
take effect, it is because your X server stores its own list of
|
|
|
|
resources; to update them, use the shell command @command{xrdb}---for
|
|
|
|
instance, @samp{xrdb ~/.Xdefaults}.
|
2001-10-30 18:38:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each line in the file specifies a value for one option or for a
|
|
|
|
collection of related options, for one program or for several programs
|
|
|
|
(optionally even for all programs).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@cindex Registry (MS-Windows)
|
|
|
|
MS-Windows systems don't support @file{~/.Xdefaults} files, but
|
|
|
|
Emacs compiled for Windows looks for X resources in the Windows
|
2002-04-01 23:05:54 +00:00
|
|
|
Registry, under the key @samp{HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs}
|
|
|
|
and then under the key @samp{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs}.
|
2003-06-07 11:38:22 +00:00
|
|
|
The menu and scrollbars are native widgets on MS-Windows, so they are
|
|
|
|
only customizable via the system-wide settings in the Display Control
|
2005-03-29 18:20:48 +00:00
|
|
|
Panel. You can also set resources using the @samp{-xrm} command line
|
|
|
|
option (see below.)
|
2001-10-30 18:38:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Programs define named resources with particular meanings. They also
|
|
|
|
define how to group resources into named classes. For instance, in
|
|
|
|
Emacs, the @samp{internalBorder} resource controls the width of the
|
|
|
|
internal border, and the @samp{borderWidth} resource controls the width
|
|
|
|
of the external border. Both of these resources are part of the
|
|
|
|
@samp{BorderWidth} class. Case distinctions are significant in these
|
|
|
|
names.
|
|
|
|
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Every resource definition is associated with a specific program
|
|
|
|
name---the name of the executable file that you ran. For Emacs, that
|
|
|
|
is normally @samp{emacs}. To specify a definition for all instances
|
|
|
|
of Emacs, regardless of their names, use @samp{Emacs}.
|
|
|
|
|
2001-10-30 18:38:57 +00:00
|
|
|
In @file{~/.Xdefaults}, you can specify a value for a single resource
|
|
|
|
on one line, like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
emacs.borderWidth: 2
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
Or you can use a class name to specify the same value for all resources
|
|
|
|
in that class. Here's an example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
emacs.BorderWidth: 2
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you specify a value for a class, it becomes the default for all
|
|
|
|
resources in that class. You can specify values for individual
|
|
|
|
resources as well; these override the class value, for those particular
|
|
|
|
resources. Thus, this example specifies 2 as the default width for all
|
|
|
|
borders, but overrides this value with 4 for the external border:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
emacs.BorderWidth: 2
|
|
|
|
emacs.borderWidth: 4
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The order in which the lines appear in the file does not matter.
|
|
|
|
Also, command-line options always override the X resources file.
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Here is a list of X command-line options and their corresponding
|
|
|
|
resource names.
|
2001-10-30 18:38:57 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @samp
|
|
|
|
@item -name @var{name}
|
|
|
|
@opindex --name
|
|
|
|
@itemx --name=@var{name}
|
|
|
|
@cindex resource name, command-line argument
|
|
|
|
Use @var{name} as the resource name (and the title) for the initial
|
|
|
|
Emacs frame. This option does not affect subsequent frames, but Lisp
|
|
|
|
programs can specify frame names when they create frames.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If you don't specify this option, the default is to use the Emacs
|
|
|
|
executable's name as the resource name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item -xrm @var{resource-values}
|
|
|
|
@opindex --xrm
|
|
|
|
@itemx --xrm=@var{resource-values}
|
|
|
|
@cindex resource values, command-line argument
|
|
|
|
Specify X resource values for this Emacs job (see below).
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For consistency, @samp{-name} also specifies the name to use for
|
|
|
|
other resource values that do not belong to any particular frame.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The resources that name Emacs invocations also belong to a class; its
|
|
|
|
name is @samp{Emacs}. If you write @samp{Emacs} instead of
|
|
|
|
@samp{emacs}, the resource applies to all frames in all Emacs jobs,
|
|
|
|
regardless of frame titles and regardless of the name of the executable
|
|
|
|
file. Here is an example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
Emacs.BorderWidth: 2
|
|
|
|
Emacs.borderWidth: 4
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can specify a string of additional resource values for Emacs to
|
|
|
|
use with the command line option @samp{-xrm @var{resources}}. The text
|
|
|
|
@var{resources} should have the same format that you would use inside a file
|
|
|
|
of X resources. To include multiple resource specifications in
|
|
|
|
@var{resources}, put a newline between them, just as you would in a file.
|
|
|
|
You can also use @samp{#include "@var{filename}"} to include a file full
|
|
|
|
of resource specifications. Resource values specified with @samp{-xrm}
|
|
|
|
take precedence over all other resource specifications.
|
|
|
|
|
2001-11-22 11:36:36 +00:00
|
|
|
One way to experiment with the effect of different resource settings
|
|
|
|
is to use the @code{editres} program. Select @samp{Get Tree} from the
|
|
|
|
@samp{Commands} menu, then click on an Emacs frame. This will display
|
|
|
|
a tree showing the structure of X toolkit widgets used in an Emacs
|
|
|
|
frame. Select one of them, such as @samp{menubar}, then select
|
|
|
|
@samp{Show Resource Box} from the @samp{Commands} menu. This displays
|
|
|
|
a list of all the meaningful X resources and allows you to edit them.
|
|
|
|
Changes take effect immediately if you click on the @samp{Apply} button.
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If this resource specifies a position, that position applies only to the
|
|
|
|
initial Emacs frame (or, in the case of a resource for a specific frame

Specify the ``visual'' that X should use. This tells X how to handle

|
|
|
colors.
|
|
|
|
|
|

@samp{PseudoColor}, @samp{DirectColor}, @samp{StaticColor},
|

@samp{-@var{depth}}, where @var{depth} is the number of color planes.
|
|
|
|
Most terminals only allow a few ``visuals,'' and the @samp{dpyinfo}
|
|
|
|
program outputs information saying which ones.

@cindex Lucid Widget X Resources
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the Emacs installed at your site was built to use the X toolkit
|
|
|
|
with the Lucid menu widgets, then the menu bar is a separate widget and
|
|
|
|
has its own resources. The resource names contain @samp{pane.menubar}
|
|
|
|
(following, as always, the name of the Emacs invocation, or @samp{Emacs},
|
|
|
|
which stands for all Emacs invocations). Specify them like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
Emacs.pane.menubar.@var{resource}: @var{value}
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
For example, to specify the font @samp{8x16} for the menu-bar items,
|
|
|
|
write this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
Emacs.pane.menubar.font: 8x16
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
Resources for @emph{non-menubar} toolkit pop-up menus have
|
|
|
|
@samp{menu*}, in like fashion. For example, to specify the font
|
|
|
|
@samp{8x16} for the pop-up menu items, write this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
Emacs.menu*.font: 8x16
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
For dialog boxes, use @samp{dialog} instead of @samp{menu}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
Emacs.dialog*.font: 8x16
|
|
|
|

|
The Lucid menus can display multilingual text in your locale. For more
|
|
|
|
information about fontsets see the man page for XCreateFontSet. To enable
|
|
|
|
multilingual menu text you specify a fontSet resource instead of the font
|
|
|
|
resource. If both font and fontSet resources are specified, the fontSet
|
|
|
|
resource is used. To specify
|
|
|
|
@samp{-*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*,*} for both the popup and
|
|
|
|
menu bar menus, write this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
Emacs*fontSet: -*-helvetica-medium-r-*--*-120-*-*-*-*-*-*,*

Experience shows that on some systems you may need to add
|
|
|
|
@samp{shell.}@: before the @samp{pane.menubar} or @samp{menu*}. On
|
|
|
|
some other systems, you must not add @samp{shell.}.

Here is a list of the specific resources for menu bars and pop-up menus:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
@item font
|
|
|
|
Font for menu item text.
|
2005-04-10 12:29:46 +00:00
|
|
|
@item fontSet
|
|
|
|
Fontset for menu item text.
|
2001-10-30 18:38:57 +00:00
|
|
|
@item foreground
|
|
|
|
Color of the foreground.
|
|
|
|
@item background
|
|
|
|
Color of the background.
|
|
|
|
@item buttonForeground
|
|
|
|
In the menu bar, the color of the foreground for a selected item.
|
|
|
|
@item horizontalSpacing
|
|
|
|
Horizontal spacing in pixels between items. Default is 3.
|
|
|
|
@item verticalSpacing
|
2003-09-07 22:15:51 +00:00
|
|
|
Vertical spacing in pixels between items. Default is 2.
|
2001-10-30 18:38:57 +00:00
|
|
|
@item arrowSpacing
|
|
|
|
Horizontal spacing between the arrow (which indicates a submenu) and
|
|
|
|
the associated text. Default is 10.
|
|
|
|
@item shadowThickness
|
2003-09-07 22:15:51 +00:00
|
|
|
Thickness of shadow line around the widget. Default is 1.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also determines the thickness of shadow lines around other objects,
|
|
|
|
for instance 3D buttons and arrows. If you have the impression that
|
|
|
|
the arrows in the menus do not stand out clearly enough or that the
|
|
|
|
difference between ``in'' and ``out'' buttons is difficult to see, set
|
|
|
|
this to 2. If you have no problems with visibility, the default
|
|
|
|
probably looks better. The background color may also have some effect
|
|
|
|
on the contrast.
|
2001-10-30 18:38:57 +00:00
|
|
|
@item margin
|
2003-09-07 22:15:51 +00:00
|
|
|
The margin of the menu bar, in characters. Default is 1.

@cindex Menu X Resources (LessTif widgets)
|
|
|
|
@cindex LessTif Widget X Resources
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
If the Emacs installed at your site was built to use the X toolkit
|
|
|
|
with the LessTif or Motif widgets, then the menu bar, the dialog
|
|
|
|
boxes, the pop-up menus, and the file-selection box are separate
|
|
|
|
widgets and have their own resources.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The resource names for the menu bar contain @samp{pane.menubar}
|
|
|
|
(following, as always, the name of the Emacs invocation, or
|
|
|
|
@samp{Emacs}, which stands for all Emacs invocations). Specify them
|
|
|
|
like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
Emacs.pane.menubar.@var{subwidget}.@var{resource}: @var{value}
|
|
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each individual string in the menu bar is a subwidget; the subwidget's
|
|
|
|
name is the same as the menu item string. For example, the word
|
|
|
|
@samp{File} in the menu bar is part of a subwidget named
|
|
|
|
@samp{emacs.pane.menubar.File}. Most likely, you want to specify the
|
|
|
|
same resources for the whole menu bar. To do this, use @samp{*} instead
|
|
|
|
of a specific subwidget name. For example, to specify the font
|
|
|
|
@samp{8x16} for the menu-bar items, write this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
Emacs.pane.menubar.*.fontList: 8x16
|
|
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
This also specifies the resource value for submenus.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Each item in a submenu in the menu bar also has its own name for X
|
|
|
|
resources; for example, the @samp{File} submenu has an item named
|
|
|
|
@samp{Save (current buffer)}. A resource specification for a submenu
|
|
|
|
item looks like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.@var{menu}.@var{item}.@var{resource}: @var{value}
|
|
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
For example, here's how to specify the font for the @samp{Save (current
|
|
|
|
buffer)} item:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.File.Save (current buffer).fontList: 8x16
|
|
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
For an item in a second-level submenu, such as @samp{Complete Word}
|
|
|
|
under @samp{Spell Checking} under @samp{Tools}, the resource fits this
|
|
|
|
template:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.popup_*.@var{menu}.@var{resource}: @var{value}
|
|
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
For example,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.popup_*.Spell Checking.Complete Word: @var{value}
|
|
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
(This should be one long line.)

It's impossible to specify a resource for all the menu-bar items
|
|
|
|
without also specifying it for the submenus as well. So if you want the
|
|
|
|
submenu items to look different from the menu bar itself, you must ask
|
|
|
|
for that in two steps. First, specify the resource for all of them;
|
|
|
|
then, override the value for submenus alone. Here is an example:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
Emacs.pane.menubar.*.fontList: 8x16
|
|
|
|
Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.fontList: 8x16
|
|
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
For LessTif pop-up menus, use @samp{menu*} instead of
|
|
|
|
@samp{pane.menubar}. For example, to specify the font @samp{8x16} for
|
|
|
|
the pop-up menu items, write this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
Emacs.menu*.fontList: 8x16
|
|
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
For LessTif dialog boxes, use @samp{dialog} instead of @samp{menu}:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
Emacs.dialog*.fontList: 8x16
|
|
|
|
Emacs.dialog*.foreground: hotpink
|
|
|
|
@end example
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To specify resources for the LessTif file-selection box, use
|
|
|
|
@samp{fsb*}, like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@example
|
|
|
|
Emacs.fsb*.fontList: 8x16
|
|
|
|

|

|
|
|
|
|
@iftex

|
|
|
@medbreak
|
|

|
|

Here is a list of the specific resources for LessTif menu bars and

If Emacs was built to use the GTK widget set, then the menu bar,
|
|
|
|
scroll bar and the dialogs are customized with the standard GTK
|
|
|
|
customization file, @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0}, or with the Emacs specific
|
|
|
|
file @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}. We recommend that you use
|
|
|
|
@file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc} for customizations, since @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0}
|
|
|
|
seems to be ignored when running GConf with GNOME. These files apply
|
|
|
|
only to GTK widget features. To customize Emacs font, background,
|
|
|
|
faces, etc., use the normal X resources (@pxref{Resources}).

|
Some GTK themes override these mechanisms, which means that using
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
these mechanisms will not work to customize them.

|
|
|
There are also parameters that affect GTK as a whole. For example,
|
|
|
|
the property @code{gtk-font-name} sets the default font for GTK. You
|
|
|
|
must use Pango font names (@pxref{GTK styles}). A GTK resources file
|
|
|
|
that just sets a default font looks like this:
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
gtk-font-name = "courier 12"
|
|
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
The GTK resources file is fully described in the GTK API document.
|
|
|
|
This can be found in
|
|
|
|
@file{@var{prefix}/share/gtk-doc/html/gtk/gtk-resource-files.html},
|
|
|
|
where @file{prefix} is the directory in which the GTK libraries were
|
|
|
|
installed (usually @file{/usr} or @file{/usr/local}). You can also
|
|
|
|
find the document online, at

A GTK widget is specified by its @dfn{widget class} and
|
|
|
|
@dfn{widget name}. The widget class is the type of the widget: for
|
|
|
|
example, @code{GtkMenuBar}. The widget name is the name given to a
|
|
|
|
specific widget. A widget always has a class, but need not have a
|
|
|
|
name.
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
@dfn{Absolute names} are sequences of widget names or widget
|
|
|
|
classes, corresponding to hierarchies of widgets embedded within
|
|
|
|
other widgets. For example, if a @code{GtkWindow} named @code{top}
|
|
|
|
contains a @code{GtkVBox} named @code{box}, which in turn contains
|
|
|
|
a @code{GtkMenuBar} called @code{menubar}, the absolute class name
|
|
|
|
of the menu-bar widget is @code{GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar}, and
|
|
|
|
its absolute widget name is @code{top.box.menubar}.
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When assigning a style to a widget, you can use the absolute class
|
|
|
|
name or the absolute widget name.
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There are two commands to specify changes for widgets:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @asis
|
|
|
|
@item @code{widget_class}
|
|
|
|
specifies a style for widgets based on the absolute class name.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item @code{widget}
|
|
|
|
specifies a style for widgets based on the absolute class name,
|
|
|
|
or just the class.
|
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
2005-03-29 18:20:48 +00:00
|
|
|
You must specify the class and the style in double-quotes, and put
|
|
|
|
these commands at the top level in the GTK customization file, like
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
this:
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

|
|
|

font_name = "helvetica bold 14"
|
|
|
|
@}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
widget "top.box.menubar" style "menufont"
|

|
@end smallexample
|

2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Matching of absolute names uses shell wildcard syntax: @samp{*}
|
|
|
|
matches zero or more characters and @samp{?} matches one character.
|
|
|
|
This example assigns @code{base_style} to all widgets:
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

Given the absolute class name @code{GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar}
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
and the corresponding absolute widget name @code{top.box.menubar}, all
|
|
|
|
these examples specify @code{my_style} for the menu bar:

In Emacs, the top level widget for a frame is a @code{GtkWindow}
|
|
|
|
that contains a @code{GtkVBox}. The @code{GtkVBox} contains the
|
|
|
|
@code{GtkMenuBar} and a @code{GtkFixed} widget. The vertical scroll
|
|
|
|
bars, @code{GtkVScrollbar}, are contained in the @code{GtkFixed}
|
|
|
|
widget. The text you write in Emacs is drawn in the @code{GtkFixed}
|
|
|
|
widget.
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dialogs in Emacs are @code{GtkDialog} widgets. The file dialog is a
|
|
|
|
@code{GtkFileSelection} widget.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
To set a style for the menu bar using the absolute class name, use:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
widget_class "GtkWindow.GtkVBox.GtkMenuBar" style "my_style"
|

@end smallexample

For the scroll bar, the absolute class name is:
|

|
|
|

The names for the emacs widgets, and their classes, are:

|
|
|
|
|
@multitable {@code{verticalScrollbar plus}} {@code{GtkFileSelection} and some}
|
|

Thus, for Emacs you can write the two examples above as:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
widget "Emacs.pane.menubar" style "my_style"
|

|
|
|
widget "Emacs.pane.emacs.verticalScrollBar" style "my_style"
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
@end smallexample

|
|
|
|
|
|
GTK absolute names are quite strange when it comes to menus
|
2003-02-04 14:56:31 +00:00
|
|
|
and dialogs. The names do not start with @samp{Emacs}, as they are
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
free-standing windows and not contained (in the GTK sense) by the
|
|
|
|
Emacs GtkWindow. To customize the dialogs and menus, use wildcards like this:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
widget "*emacs-dialog*" style "my_dialog_style"
|
|
|
|
widget "*emacs-filedialog* style "my_file_style"
|
|
|
|
widget "*emacs-menuitem* style "my_menu_style"
|
|
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
If you specify a customization in @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}, then it
|
|
|
|
automatically applies only to Emacs, since other programs don't read
|
|
|
|
that file. For example, the drop down menu in the file dialog can not
|
|
|
|
be customized by any absolute widget name, only by an absolute class
|
2005-03-29 18:20:48 +00:00
|
|
|
name. This is because the widgets in the drop down menu do not
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
have names and the menu is not contained in the Emacs GtkWindow. To
|
|
|
|
have all menus in Emacs look the same, use this in
|
|
|
|
@file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}:
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|

In a GTK style you specify the appearance widgets shall have. You
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
can specify foreground and background color, background pixmap and
|
|
|
|
font. The edit widget (where you edit the text) in Emacs is a GTK
|
|
|
|
widget, but trying to specify a style for the edit widget will have no
|
|
|
|
effect. This is so that Emacs compiled for GTK is compatible with
|
|
|
|
Emacs compiled for other X toolkits. The settings for foreground,
|
|
|
|
background and font for the edit widget is taken from the X resources;
|
|
|
|
@pxref{Resources}. Here is an example of two style declarations,
|

The style @samp{ruler} inherits from @samp{default}. This way you can build
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
on existing styles. The syntax for fonts and colors is described below.
|
|
|
|
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
As this example shows, it is possible to specify several values for
|
|
|
|
foreground and background depending on the widget's @dfn{state}. The
|
|
|
|
possible states are:
|
|
|
|
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
@item NORMAL
|
|
|
|
This is the default state for widgets.
|
|
|
|
@item ACTIVE
|
|
|
|
This is the state for a widget that is ready to do something. It is
|
2003-02-04 14:56:31 +00:00
|
|
|
also for the trough of a scroll bar, i.e. @code{bg[ACTIVE] = "red"}
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
sets the scroll bar trough to red. Buttons that have been pressed but
|
|
|
|
not released yet (``armed'') are in this state.
|
|
|
|
@item PRELIGHT
|
|
|
|
This is the state when widgets that can be manipulated have the mouse
|
|
|
|
pointer over them. For example when the mouse is over the thumb in the
|
|
|
|
scroll bar or over a menu item. When the mouse is over a button that
|
|
|
|
is not pressed, the button is in this state.
|
|
|
|
@item SELECTED
|
|
|
|
This is the state when some data has been selected by the user. It can
|
|
|
|
be selected text or items selected in a list.
|
|
|
|
There is no place in Emacs where this setting has any effect.
|
|
|
|
@item INSENSITIVE
|
|
|
|
This is the state for widgets that are visible, but they can not be
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
manipulated in the usual way---for example, buttons that can't be
|
|
|
|
pressed, and disabled menu items. To display disabled menu items in
|
|
|
|
yellow, use @code{fg[INSENSITIVE] = "yellow"}.
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
@end table
|
|
|
|
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Here are the things that can go in a style declaration:
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@table @code
|
|
|
|
@item bg[@var{state}] = @var{color}
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
This specifies the background color for the widget. Note that
|
|
|
|
editable text doesn't use @code{bg}; it uses @code{base} instead.
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item base[@var{state}] = @var{color}

2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
This specifies the background color for editable text. In Emacs, this
|
|
|
|
color is used for the background of the text fields in the file
|
|
|
|
dialog.

@item bg_pixmap[@var{state}] = "@var{pixmap}"
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
This specifies an image background (instead of a background color).
|
|
|
|
@var{pixmap} should be the image file name. GTK can use a number of
|
|
|
|
image file formats, including XPM, XBM, GIF, JPEG and PNG. If you
|
|
|
|
want a widget to use the same image as its parent, use
|
|
|
|
@samp{<parent>}. If you don't want any image, use @samp{<none>}.
|
|
|
|
@samp{<none>} is the way to cancel a background image inherited from a
|
|
|
|
parent style.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can't specify the file by its absolute file name. GTK looks for
|
|
|
|
the pixmap file in directories specified in @code{pixmap_path}.
|
|
|
|
@code{pixmap_path} is a colon-separated list of directories within
|
|
|
|
double quotes, specified at the top level in a @file{gtkrc} file
|
|
|
|
(i.e. not inside a style definition; see example above):

@item fg[@var{state}] = @var{color}
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
This specifies the foreground color for widgets to use. It is the
|
|
|
|
color of text in menus and buttons, and the color for the arrows in
|
|
|
|
the scroll bar. For editable text, use @code{text}.
|

|
|
|
@item text[@var{state}] = @var{color}
|
2003-02-04 14:56:31 +00:00
|
|
|
This is the color for editable text. In Emacs, this color is used for the
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
text fields in the file dialog.

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@item font_name = "@var{font}"
|
2005-07-18 16:20:32 +00:00
|
|
|
This specifies the font for text in the widget. @var{font} is a
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Pango font name, for example @samp{Sans Italic 10}, @samp{Helvetica
|
|
|
|
Bold 12}, @samp{Courier 14}, @samp{Times 18}. See below for exact
|
|
|
|
syntax. The names are case insensitive.

There are three ways to specify a color: by name, in hexadecimal
|
|
|
|
form, and with an RGB triplet.
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
A color name is written within double quotes, for example @code{"red"}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
Hexadecimal form is the same as in X:
|
|
|
|
@code{#@var{rrrr}@var{gggg}@var{bbbb}}, where all three color specs
|
|
|
|
must have the same number of hex digits (1, 2, 3 or 4).
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
An RGB triplet looks like @code{@{ @var{r}, @var{g}, @var{b} @}},
|
|
|
|
where @var{r}, @var{g} and @var{b} are either integers in the range
|
|
|
|
0-65535 or floats in the range 0.0-1.0.
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00

Pango font names have the form ``@var{family-list} @var{style-options}
|
|
|
|
@var{size}''.
|
|
|
|
@cindex Pango font name
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
@var{family-list} is a comma separated list of font families optionally
|
|
|
|
terminated by a comma. This way you can specify several families and the
|
|
|
|
first one found will be used. @var{family} corresponds to the second part in
|
|
|
|
an X font name, for example in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@smallexample
|
|
|
|
-adobe-times-medium-r-normal--12-120-75-75-p-64-iso10646-1
|
|
|
|
@end smallexample
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
the family name is ``times''.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
@var{style-options} is a whitespace separated list of words where each word
|
|
|
|
is a style, variant, weight, or stretch. The default value for all of
|
|
|
|
these is @code{normal}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
A `style' corresponds to the fourth part of an X font name. In X font
|
2005-03-26 02:00:32 +00:00
|
|
|
names it is the character @samp{r}, @samp{i} or @samp{o}; in Pango
|
|
|
|
font names the corresponding values are @code{normal}, @code{italic},
|
|
|
|
or @code{oblique}.
|
2003-01-19 21:50:03 +00:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
A `variant' is either @code{normal} or @code{small-caps}.
|
|
|
|
Small caps is a font with the lower case characters replaced by
|
|
|
|
smaller variants of the capital characters.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
Weight describes the ``boldness'' of a font. It corresponds to the third
|
|
|
|
part of an X font name. It is one of @code{ultra-light}, @code{light},
|
|
|
|
@code{normal}, @code{bold}, @code{ultra-bold}, or @code{heavy}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
Stretch gives the width of the font relative to other designs within a
|
|
|
|
family. It corresponds to the fifth part of an X font name. It is one of
|
|
|
|
@code{ultra-condensed}, @code{extra-condensed}, @code{condensed},
|
|
|
|
@code{semi-condensed}, @code{normal}, @code{semi-expanded},
|
|
|
|
@code{expanded}, @code{extra-expanded}, or @code{ultra-expanded}.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
@noindent
|
|
|
|
@var{size} is a decimal number that describes the font size in points.
