Customizing the SAS Windowing Environment

Methods for Customizing X Resources

SAS functions correctly without any modifications to the resource database. However, you might want to change the default behavior or appearance of the interface. There are several ways to specify your customizations. Some methods modify all SAS sessions displayed on a particular X server. Some methods affect all SAS sessions run on a particular host. Other methods affect only a single SAS session. You can use one of the following methods to specify your customizations:

Edit the X resource file. (See Editing the X Resource File.)
Use the Preferences dialog box to modify X resource settings. (See Modifying X Resource Settings by Using the Preferences Dialog Box.)
Submit the /XRES command line option. (See XRESOURCES= System Option: OpenVMS.)
Submit one or more instances of the /XRM command line option.

If you need more information about X Window System clients and X resources, see the documentation provided by your vendor.
