Well, what I mean is a rectangular, raised (3Dish) bar instead of the
shaded rectangle that is normal.  _I_ have never seen them on my
machine (this is the first time I've tried to work with Xaw3D), so I'm
not sure if what I want is in fact possible.

Essentially, the docs I've read for xterm_right_ansi_3D say that you
can get a raised 3D scrollbar (I don't know about the top and bottom
arrows) instead of the ugly shaded ones if you set certain *Scrollbar
attributes.

I don't know -- I wasn't one of them. :)

Well, I am not at my computer, so I don't have the READMEs from the
various programs, but David Johnson said that he lost his 3d scroolbar
when he moved to ELF Xaw -- his .Xresources, which look similar to
mine are:

     *Form.background: bisque3
     *TransientShell*Dialog.background: bisque3
     *Command.background: gray80
     *Menubutton.background: gray80
     *ScrollbarBackground: lightgrey
     *Scrollbar*background: grey50
     *Scrollbar*width: 16
     *Scrollbar*height: 16
     *Scrollbar*shadowWidth: 2
     *Scrollbar*cursorName: top_left_arrow
     *Scrollbar*pushThumb: false
     *ShapeStyle: Rectangle
     *beNiceToColormap: false
     *shadowWidth: 3
     *SmeBSB*shadowWidth: 3
     *Label*shadowWidth: 2

Now, since I have never gotten the 3d-look to work, I'm not sure of
this but shouldn't the *Scrollbar settings give it a sort of raised
look?


Thank you,

Jim
