Re: bad UI defaults

[Richard Stallman]

    I never really liked fiddling with those X resources, so what about a
    Custom-like interface to modifying the X resouces that emacs uses?

That would be a useful feature, especially if the result is to
make the difference between X resources and Lisp variables
transparent to the user.

    Is there a way to have a running emacs re-read the X resources?

I don't think so, but maybe one can be created by looking at the
existing code that reads and merges them.
