Lars> Yes... and what is the modeline background color name? I am beginning to understand the reason for the universal use of the toolbar background colours in the Gnus xpm files, since - it seems - the toolbar is a "real" Xt widget and the modeline is not (or at least not in the same sense as the toolbar is, having its own colour and shading names). This is implied in the XEmacs source, at least to this noddy, and indicated as well in the .Xdefault settings: Emacs.modeline*attributeBackground vs. Emacs*backgroundToolBarColor It would be easy enough for me to customize the xpm file, but a more general solution would have been nice. Just out of curiosity, would a setting of "none" provide an acceptable general solution if my assumptions about modeline as a second-class widget with no "proper" background colour name are true? -- Len
