changing colors on xcalc

EDIT: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Xde … references

should have checked there first, regardless....

In the past I've seen screen shots of people who have changed the colors and appearance of xcalc, I'm tired of looking at the good old fashioned white and black X default
and I was wondering if anybody has any config files they would like to share.  The man page seems fairly cryptic in such manners but it seems I should create an ~/.Xdefaults file
with

 
#ifdef COLOR
*customization:     -color

and then go nuts editing /usr/share/X11/app-defaults/XCalc-color

if any of this sounds wrong let me know.

also, if you have a pretty awesome looking xcalc, please post it so I can steal your color scheme

Re: changing colors on xcalc

I use a slightly smaller font so that all the characters are displayed properly:

xcalc*font: -*-dina-medium-r-*-*-13-*-*-*-*-*-*-*

Also, if you find that the division key (20) appears as a comma, add this to your ~/.Xdefaults as well:

xcalc.ti.button20.label: /
