CDE publishes its color scheme to the default Xt resources - *any* application that can read it (using libXt or not) can use those colors and fonts and many "plain" Xt-based apps will do so by default. I think - as others mentioned - Qt is picking up those automatically (I read somewhere that even Qt's name was inspired by Xt). There is even http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qcdestyle.html#details for even better integration (reading CDE style files?) Here's what is being set on my machine: *0*ColorPalette: DarkGold.dp *ColorUse: HIGH_COLOR *DtEditor*textFontList: -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: *DtTerm*shadowThickness: 1 *Font: -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* *FontList: -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: *FontSet: -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-* *XmText*FontList: -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: *XmText*Translations: #override\n Ctrl<Key>u:delete-to-start-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>k:delete-to-end-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>a:beginning-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>e:end-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>p:process-up()\n Ctrl<Key>b:backward-character()\n Ctrl<Key>n:process-down()\n Ctrl<Key>f:forward-character() *XmTextField*FontList: -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: *XmTextField*Translations: #override\n Ctrl<Key>u:delete-to-start-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>k:delete-to-end-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>a:beginning-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>e:end-of-line()\n Ctrl<Key>b:backward-character()\n Ctrl<Key>f:forward-character() *background: #A8A8A8A8A8A8 *buttonFontList: -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: *dtEnvMapForRemote: DTAPPSEARCHPATH:DTHELPSEARCHPATH:DTDATABASESEARCHPATH:XMICONSEARCHPATH:XMICONBMSEARCHPATH *enableBtn1Transfer: button2_transfer *enableButtonTab: True *enableCDEColorFactors: True *enableDefaultButton: True *enableDragIcon: True *enableEtchedInMenu: True *enableMenuInCascade: True *enableMultiKeyBindings: True *enableThinThickness: True *enableToggleColor: True *enableToggleVisual: True *foreground: #FFFFFFFFFFFF *labelFontList: -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: *multiClickTime: 500 *promptDialog.bboard.frame.form.text.columns: 45 *sessionVersion: 3.0 *systemFont: -dt-interface system-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: *textFontList: -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: *ttyModes: erase ^H intr ^C kill ^U start ^Q stop ^S swtch ^@ susp ^Z *userFont: -dt-interface user-medium-r-normal-xs*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*: so if an applications uses Xt or even better Motif, it will pick those automatically. What can be done is to port standard CDE schemes into GTK palettes or provide some magic way to translate those Xt resources into what GTK wants. I think it was a clear decision taken by GTK to give up Xt legacy (a decision that I can understand). Maybe one of the GTK-Qt integration projects achieved something... ~Marcin ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Monitor 25 network devices or servers for free with OpManager!
