Hello, IDL Users -
I've asked these questions a couple times before, with no response.
Don't be shy! I'm running IDL 2.4.0 under Ultrix 4.1. A couple short
questions:
What controls the background color for widgets? Is it in the
Xdefaults file? The same application has a blue background in one account,
and white in another.
How can I prompt an exit from IDL from a widget application? Just
putting EXIT in the event handler gives me a callback error, although it
works fine for non-widget routines.
Thanks,
__.

Here are all the ones that I am aware of. This is the output of:
% cd $IDL_DIR/notes
% grep "Idl*" *
note_2_1.doc: Idl*XmText*blinkRate: 0
note_2_4.doc: Idl*blinkRate: 0
openwin3.doc: Idl*threeD: TRUE
openwin3.doc: Idl*background: PeachPuff2
openwin3.doc: Idl*inputFocusColor: PeachPuff2
openwin3.doc: Idl*traversalOn: False
openwin3.doc: Idl*scale: 10
openwin3.doc: Idl*colors: -5
sgi.doc: Idl*fontList: -adobe-helvetica-bold-r-normal-*-10-100-*-*-*-
Many of them may be specific to SunOS OpenWindows, but not all of them...
Note that you should read the appropriate notes about the entries before
just adding them to your .Xdefaults, as some of them are workarounds that
you may not want/need to implement.
