X Resources?

[Greg Novak]

A long time ago I put the following two lines in my .Xresources file
to give Emacs a nicer color scheme (in my opinion).  

! Set the modeline colors.
Emacs.modeline*attributeForeground:     Black
Emacs.modeline*attributeBackground:     AntiqueWhite1

Some time ago, maybe even years ago, they stopped working, and I just
now decided I'd try to figure out what was going on.  I used "editres"
to try to figure out what X resource I should be setting, thinking
that the name had changed.  However, I couldn't find anything that
looked like the right thing.

Is this even how this is done anymore?  I'm running Emacs 21.2 on OS X
10.4, built for X11 (obviously), not Carbon.

Thanks,
Greg
