–xrm This option allows the user to set resources that don’t have command-line equiva-
lents. This is similar to the –default option, but it takes only one argument, a
string in the form of resource-name:value.
Type: String
Resource: Given in the string
Default: None
Example:
cmdtool -xrm OpenWindows.ScrollbarPlacement:right
6.2 Additional Resources
The .Xdefaults file stores resource settings. We recommend that you use the command-line
arguments in order to change display characteristics rather than changing the .Xdefaults file.
Changing the resources in .Xdefaults modifies the behavior of the user’s session. Novice
users should not casually modify these settings.
Before attempting to edit the .Xdefaults file, please
