Read the documentation of xboard especially the section after Options. There are all the Options described and also how the syntax must be. For the documentation type 'man xboard' in the console (xterm or whatever). The file .Xdefaults (or .Xresources) have to be in your home directory. They are read when the Xserver starts up. If you make changes to them you may have to restart the Xserver for the changes to take place, or in the case of .Xresources type 'xrdb -load .Xresources'. The files can contain options for different Xserver applications. Lines starting with a ! are comments. e.g. Here is the contents of my .Xresources: !XTerm resources xterm*colorMode: false xterm*scrollBar: true xterm*rightScrollBar: true xterm*scrollLines: 1000 !xboard resources xboard*showThinking: true xboard*internetChessServerHost: chessclub.com xboard*colorizeMessages: true xboard*boardSize: Small xboard*titleInWindow: true xboard*highlightLastMove: true !xboard*pixmapDirectory: ~/Chess/pieces/dyche/ xboard*internetChessServerInputBox: true xboard*whitePieceColor: #ffffff xboard*blackPieceColor: #1d1d1d xboard*lightSquareColor: #ccbda4 xboard*darkSquareColor: #a88964 regards Andy
