Problems with altering NEdit Looks

[Aaron Hsu]

I have been mostly successful in changing NEdit's looks to be Mac-like.  
:-) however, there are a few things that are still not quite working as  
intended. The first would be to change all the text fields and most of the  
other fields to "snow" colors, as the "How to take 15 years off of NEdit's  
Look" article demonstrates. However, I guess my version of NEdit/Motif  
isn't doing things the same way. For one thing, I had to use the  
preferences to set many of the color options instead of the resource file.  
However, setting nedit*background: gray95 sets the backgrounds for the  
fields and other such widgets that color as well, when I want them set to  
snow. I have XmTextField.background: snow in my resource file, but what am  
I doing wrong? Basically, I want the background of most of the end-user  
widgets to be just a little less than perfectly white.
