To make things easier to see, I'd like to change the colors and fonts in all DX user interfaces (menus, VPE, etc.).

Xlib and Xt support a mechanism for setting UI parameters in the code and from files. Application defaults are stored in a place like /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults. A user can override these with a home-directory file like .Xdefaults or .Xresource. For example, I use this method to heavily modify the xemacs UI.

Does DX use the Xlib or Xt resource management system? Does it load a file? Which section of code deals with this area?

Thanks in advance for your help.
