X resources

The outlook of program using Detroint engine can be finetuned by user by changing the settings in X resources file. X resources file is located at PREFIX/etc/PROGRAM_NAME.res, and is defined as follows:

! The fallback app-defaults for PROGRAM_NAME.
!
! This file will be consulted for visual settings if resources are not present
! in xrdb database, ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources.
!
! Settings for menus
!
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.background:		#fff7f9
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.foreground:		#000000
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.bgSelected:		#bec2d3
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.fgSelected:		#fff7f9
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.fgDisabled:		#787878
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.marginWidth:		1
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.marginHeight:		1
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.borderColor:		#0a0a0a
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.borderOpaque:		48
!PROGRAM_NAME.menu.itemFontFace:	specify_path_to_font_file_here
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.itemFontSize:		14
!PROGRAM_NAME.menu.titleFontFace:	specify_path_to_font_file_here
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.titleFontSize:	14
PROGRAM_NAME.menu.fontDPI:		0
!
! Settings for widgets
!
!PROGRAM_NAME.widget.profile:
PROGRAM_NAME.widget.shadowColor:	#101016
PROGRAM_NAME.widget.shadowOpaque:	192
PROGRAM_NAME.widget.sliderSlitColor:	#161913
!PROGRAM_NAME.widget.fontFace:		specify_path_to_font_file_here
PROGRAM_NAME.widget.fontSize:		10
PROGRAM_NAME.widget.fontDPI:		0

Each setting should be self-explanatory. Basically menu and widget appearance can be modified by X resources file. PROGRAM_NAME is the name of the produced executable when program was compiled.

If widget.profile resource is set, widget files are looked from PREFIX/share/detroit/widgets/widget.profile-directory.
