.Xdefaults is the UNIX X-Windows configuration file that permits some of the X-Windows start up settings to be configured. The file is typically loaded into the X database when the Window Manager starts and the values are read from the database by MicroEmacs at start up, over-riding any internal defaults.
The .Xdefaults file is used by other applications and MicroEmacs may be added to the end of any existing file.
The values interpreted by MicroEmacs are defined as follows:
MicroEmacs.font: font
MicroEmacs.geometry: char-widthxchar-height [+-]xoffset [+-]yoffset
MicroEmacs.name: name
MicroEmacs.iconname: name
The following is an example of the .Xdefaults file:-
!###################################################################### !# # !# Defaults for MicroEmacs startup # !# # !###################################################################### !# MicroEmacs.font: <fontname> !# Set the default font. MicroEmacs.font: -*-lucidatypewriter-medium-r-*-*-*-*-*-*-m-*-*-* !# MicroEmacs.font: -*-clean-medium-r-*-*-*-130-*-*-*-*-*-* !# MicroEmacs.geometry: <char-width>x<char-height> {+/-}<xoffset> {+-}<yoffset> !# Set up the default screen size and position. !# 102x65 characters please, 30 pixels from top left MicroEmacs.geometry: 102x65 30 30 !# MicroEmacs.name: <name> !# The name displayed in the title bar format is <name>: <file> MicroEmacs.name: JASSPAs MicroEmacs !# MicroEmacs: <icon-name> !# The name displayed when MicroEmacs is iconized MicroEmacs.iconname: JASSPAs MicroEmacs
The .Xdefaults file is typically read once at login and and any changes to the files are not enacted until the Window Manager is re-started or a new login session commences.
The settings in the .Xdefaults may be subsequently overridden by the settings defined in user-setup(3).
