Hi Joseph -
This may interest you. From the "whatsnew.txt" file in the notes
subdirectory of the IDL 3.6 distribution:
RESOURCE_NAME KEYWORD TO WIDGET CREATION FUNCTIONS
--------------------------------------------------
The RESOUCE_NAME keyword is an X Windows only keyword to the
widget creation functions (e.g., WIDGET_BASE, WIDGET_BUTTON, etc.)
that allows you to assign Motif resource names to individual
widgets. Once a widget has been assigned a resource name, you
can change many aspects of its appearance and behavior such as its color
and accelerator key. See the documentation for WIDGET_BASE in the
IDL Reference Guide for details.
This ought to let you muck with the colors and resources of your
widgets to your heart's content.
