Splus used to have extensive control of the graphics window via X
resources - here's a chunk from an old Xresources file of mine:
splus*background: blue
splus*Canvas.height: 632
splus*Canvas.width: 800
splus*Command*background: red
splus*Command*foreground: cyan
splus*Label*background: cyan
splus*Label*foreground: red
splus*Text*background: #a0f
splus*Text*foreground: yellow
splus*colors: white black white 54 black
- and so on and so forth. Sadly I dont think such customisation is
coded into R's X11 graphics window. Looking at the code there is no sign
of it playing with X11's resource database. Shame.
