• Open Motif 2.3 Discussion

I've built openmotif 2.3 beta 1 on SuSe 9.3 x86_64. I have found one weird problem. If we programatically change the foreground/background of CascadeButton it only changes the colors immediately around the text label. All the rest of the widget between the label and and top/bottom shadows retain their original pixel values. If fixed this (I think) by tweaking SetValues in CascadeB.c to call GetBackgroundGC if the foreground or background pixel values have changed. Its been about 14 or 15 years since I mucked around in the internals of Motif so please pardon me if there is a better fix.
