To List;

I've experimented with colors a bit in xforms and have been able to use decent
work arounds to get the colors I want for applications. The problem as I see
it is that what I like for a color isn't necessarily what an end user likes to
see. Some end users are nearly color blind and some are color sensitive, some
have old eyes and need different fonts to see better.

Can we use the xresources to help users tailor their applications? I suppose I
can include some code myself to check the xresources files and set up FCOL1,
etcetera but was hoping it could be handled in the library since it's a
universal problem. I always thought that xresources was a neat, efficient way
to handle xwindow applications and feel comfortable with it.
