To change a resource definition, do the following:
Create a file called WORKSHOP or ESERVE in your home directory or some other directory as specified in your XFILESEARCHPATH or XAPPLRESDIR environment variable.
Change directories to the location of the file that contains the resource you want to change.
The default path names for the WORKSHOP and ESERVE files are listed in "Sun WorkShop Resource Files". Consult with your system administrator for assistance if you have difficulty locating the files.
Open the resource file and copy only the resource definitions you want to change.
Paste the resource definitions into the file you created in your home directory.
Change the resource settings and start Sun WorkShop.
If Sun WorkShop is already running, exit and restart it.
If you modify the default colors in Sun WorkShop to use a non-specified color, you can cause Sun WorkShop to fill up the color map.
