Solaris Common Desktop Environment: Advanced User's and System Administrator's Guide

dynamicColor Resource

The dynamicColor resource controls whether applications change color dynamically; that is, whether the clients change color when you switch palettes.

Value 

Description 

True 

Clients change color dynamically when a new palette is selected. This is the default value. 

False 

Clients do not change color dynamically. When a new palette is selected, clients will use the new colors when the session is restarted. 

When the value of the dynamicColor resource is True, clients that cannot change colors dynamically (non-Motif applications) allocate different cells in the color map than clients that can change colors dynamically, even if you see the same color.


Note –

Since all clients can share the same color cells, setting dynamicColor to False reduces the number of colors your desktop consumes.
