The desktop maps color sets to various display elements through resources and makes the assignments shown in Table 17-5.
Table 17-5 Mapped Color Sets to Resources

Application's menu bar, menus, and dialog boxes |
These resources take a color set ID as their value. Coloring display elements with color set IDs allows the element to dynamically change to the new color scheme when a new palette is selected with Style Manager.
You can use these resources for individual applications. For example, the following line shows how you would visually group all dtterm windows by using color set 8 for their primary color.
dtterm*primaryColorSetId: 8
