For the Tcl/Tk version, this is in "resource.tcl" in the install directory.

Since this gets set at startup, I'm not sure if it can be changed from the user 
.xcircuitrc file.  For now, you can make changes to the master resource.tcl 
file.  Remind me again in a week (I'm on vacation right now) and I will tell 
you if there is a way to do this from user setup files (or check the usage of 
the Tcl/Tk "option" command, but bear in mind that these are settings for when 
new windows are created---once a window has been created, you have to access 
each button individually and change values with Tk commands.

If it's not the Tcl/Tk version, it's all done through the .Xdefaults or 
.Xresources file.
