2352.0. "changing colors (colours) with Hubwatch" by KERNEL::MCSKEANEP (one bit brain with parity error) Wed Jun 07 1995 15:27

    
    Can anybody figure out the following behaviour in Hubwatch V4.0.1
    running under OSF V3.2
    
    I've copied /usr/kits/HUBwatch/Hubwatch_teal to my home directory and
    renamed the file Hubwatch. If I fire up Hubwatch from my own directory,
    the default agents file is found but when the hub is displayed, I still
    get the default tan colours in the display. If I click on a module, then
    I get the highlighted teal colour. If I click on LAN interconnect then
    the screen background remains tan but the module icons come up teal. 
    
    I though that if I had the teal defaults in my own directory then the
    hub should come up in teal, The only way I could get the whole hub to
    come up in teal was to copy /usr/kits/HUBwatch/Hubwatch_teal to
    /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Hubwatch.
    
    Thanks in advance,

Check to see if the environment variable XENVIRONMENT is set. This will
set the default directory where resource files are found.

Most people just stick the Hubwatch file into their home directory and
ignore XENVIRONMENT.

    	The HUBwatch Color change problem that Paul McSkeane is seeing is 
    because of a environment setting caused by ProbeWatch on his system. I have 
    experienced the same problem in systems test, so I will be entering a QAR 
    with this problem and talking with Jack Forrest (ProbeWatch Product 
    Manager).

    	The setting is that is in the ProbeWatch set up: 
    	
    		"setenv XUSERFILESEARCHPATH /usr/kits/PROBEwatch/X/%N"
