Recently, since Erik Masson (Indigo Magic Desktop 4 Linux) seems to drop odff the face of the Earth, I started hacking Xm source.

I`m making big progress, but here are some issues I would like to have help on

Issue 1.
_XmBB_CreatePushButtonG (BBUtil.c), simple changing CreatePushButtonGadget(bb,...) to CreatePushButton did the lovely trick of having (hacked) lovely looking PushButtons with outlines working in dialog boxes... except XmFileSelectionBox. That is, normally when you were browsing directories, filter button callback was in use each time you entered dir- after change nothing happens, list is "locked". How to fix that?

Issue 2.
ScrolledText and ScrolledList, I decided to put XmScrolledWindow into XmSHADOW_INed frame, looks great, as long as XmATTACH_POSITION is not used. In such case, the frame is not attached correctly, if at all (top-left window corner, default sizes). Why?

Issue 3.
I would like to hack some *Gadgets, like for example toggles to have more colors etc. Question when should I create new GCs, so it won`t end with segfault?

Issue 3b.
How and when can I safetly query xrdb for colors?

If anybody is interested, I would love to "trade" my hacks for others so far the list is
- XmScrollBar (including behaviour)
- XmScale (small changes, but awesome look)
- XmTextField (SGI like, with shadow outline of parent top and bottom shadows (if available, static workaround if not)
- Strokes instead of underlines (first thing I did ) )
