- We are in the same predicament. I can not believe that Sun
- thinks people actually like bright red. The first thing
- people ask us in our product is how do you get rid of
- all those silly red things???
-
- If you have a color station, you can use the XtNinputFocusColor
- resource. For black and white you are screwed. If you try
- to set it the same as the background, it will ignore you.
