Motif widget color/3-d [message #1696]

The color of motif widgets under 3.5.1 (Sun OS OpenWindows) can
be controlled with the X11 resource !Idl*background, e.g., as
suggested by RSI, put this in .Xdefaults:

Idl*background: #7300a100ff00

This yields a blue too bright for me, so I started experimenting.
If I use X11 color text descriptors, e.g.:

Idl*background: light blue

I get the light blue, but loose the 3-d effect of the motif widgets.
When I look up the decimal rgb for light blue in rgb.txt, convert
to hexidecimal and give that as background, I get the same result
(light blue with "flat" widgets). Does anybody know how this works?
What controls the 3-d appearance of the widgets?
