A large number of X window resources can be set by a user to customize various aspects of the user interface. The best way to explore these is to examine the file $PTOLEMY/lib/pigiXRes9 for the defaults. These defaults can typically be overridden in the user's .Xdefaults file, and incorporated into the X environment using the program xrdb. For example,
Vem*font: *-times-medium-r-normal--*-120-*
changes the font in the vem console window, menus, dialog boxes, etc., to something smaller than the default. Also,
Vem*background: antiqueWhite
changes the background in the vem console window and dialog boxes to the color "antiqueWhite."
