This is more dock stuff. I'm trying to change the colors on those
dockapps that allow it. These dockapps that allow it are *supposed* to
take hex color codes (#xx1x34), but they don't seem to. They do,
however, take named colors (orange, MediumSlateBlue, etc) correctly, but
unfortunately, these named colors do not *precisely* match my desktop.
I've been using gcolor2 to pick the colors of my desktop, and I just
noticed that it also saves 'named' colors.
So I thought, can't I just 'pick' a color, name it, and then I could
use it like all the other named colors?
I suppose I could, if I knew where the heck such information is stored.
Perhaps /usr/lib/X11/rgb.txt is it. There's a (masked) ebuild
x11-apps/rgb. My xorg.conf has:
RgbPath /usr/lib/X11/rgb
Alas, /usr/lib/X11/rgb doesn't exist here.
I have it, and it looks like the stuff:
! $Xorg: rgb.txt,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:00 cpqbld Exp $
255 250 250 snow
248 248 255 ghost white
248 248 255 GhostWhite
245 245 245 white smoke
245 245 245 WhiteSmoke
220 220 220 gainsboro
255 250 240 floral white

253 245 230 old lace
253 245 230 OldLace
250 240 230 linen
250 235 215 antique white
The man page of showrgb
talks about a /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/rgb file, which doesn't exist here,
neither.
I don't have rgb installed, and the file I do have looks like it's
installed by xorg.
Could anybody tell me (or tell me that it can't be done)?
Perhaps it's easier to fix the application that fails to take hex color
codes?
Not bloody likely; I can't code my way out of a paper bag, and I
certainly am not prepared to take on WindowMaker dockapps, though I will
likely write to the developers, if I can track them down, once I've
finished testing whether the PEBKAC or not.
But thanks a lot; I've not only learned something, but this looks like
it has a fair chance of working, as well.
I appreciate it.
