* CORRECTION * It is necessary to specify the class or instance for
correct application of preferences when logging in to a fresh session
due to the app defaults in:
/etc/X11/app-defaults/XClock*
>From the xclock man page:
"WIDGETS
In order to specify resources, it is useful to know
Here's my current resource file for what I like at the moment:
~$ cat .Xresources
*background: #00
*foreground: #ff
XClock*majorColor: #66
XClock*minorColor: #44
XClock*hourColor: #88
XClock*minuteColor: #88
XClock*secondColor: #22
I'm using a stock Ubuntu 18.10 installation(although I'm using the openbox
window-manager) in an Xorg display server session. When I fire up a
gnome-terminal and type:
$ xclock -rv
I get a reversed video xclock which has all hands visible and appears to be
the 'reverse' of a standard xclock
Hi Chris, that's not what I'm seeing. Please describe what it is you
are seeing working normally, and confirm you've no .Xresources, etc.,
implicitly in play. I see xclock(1) now describes hourColor, etc., and
says that reverseVideo, AKA -rv, affects their defaults.

OK. SO here's what I've found:
"! xclock
! --
! Most of the resource parts of the man page for xclock are useless,
! because the resources they describe (foreground, hands, etc.) are ignored
! if Xrender is in effect to draw an antialiased xclock. You can disable
! Xrender so as to use
I can confirm that this exists in 11.04 with version 7.6+4ubuntu2. The
behaviour is exactly as described.
