This is more an X specific thing. You need to tell X where to look for
window class-specific resources. Copy /usr/lib/netscape/Netscape.ad to
~/.my_app_defaults/Netscape and edit the file to suit your tastes. Then
set your XAPPLRESDIR environment variable to point to ~/.my_app_defaults.
Netscape will look at that file if you run it now. Note that you should
remove all resources from the file except the ones that you're modifying.
The entire file needs to be parsed at startup, and if the file is huge, it
will take much longer.
There are other ways to do this on a system-wide scale...they involve
different environment variable (XUSERFILESEARCHPATH and XFILESEARCHPATH, I
seem to recall). I don't really remember how to do this; it's been a
while. Unfortunately, tweaking X app-default files is a dying art, since
none of todays popular X widget sets use the X resource database (Qt,
GTK+, etc).
HTH,
