I've just worked a few things out now. This is my current .Xdefaults
file's Netscape section:

! Disable blink tags
Netscape*blinkingEnabled: 0
Netscape*fontList: -b&h-lucida-medium-r-normal-*-10-*-*-*-p-*-iso8859-1
Netscape*background: gray80
Netscape*bottomShadowColor: gray55
Netscape*topShadowColor: white
Netscape*urlComboBox*shadowThickness: 0
Netscape*urlComboBox*Text*shadowThickness: 1
Netscape*urlComboBox*Text*bottomShadowColor: black
Netscape*urlComboBox*Text*topShadowColor: black
Netscape*urlComboBox*ComboBoxMenuShell*borderWidth: 1
Netscape*urlComboBox*ComboBoxMenuShell*borderColor: black

This makes it look somewhat similar to the CoolIce GTK+ theme, my
current favourite.

Have a look at editres, it's a great program :-)

HTH,
