+@appendix X Resources
+
+  Some aspects of Emacs behavior can be customized using X resources,
+as is usual for programs that use X.  X resources are the only way to
+customize tool-bar menus, pop-up menus and tooltip windows, since they
+are implemented by general-purpose libraries that always handle
+customization this way.  This appendix describes the X resources
+that Emacs recognizes and what they mean.
+
+@node Display X
+@appendixsec Specifying the Display Name
+@cindex display name (X Window System)
+@cindex @env{DISPLAY} environment variable
+
+  The environment variable @env{DISPLAY} tells all X clients, including
+Emacs, where to display their windows.  Its value is set by default
+in ordinary circumstances, when you start an X server and run jobs
+locally.  Occasionally you may need to specify the display yourself; for
+example, if you do a remote login and want to run a client program
+remotely, displaying on your local screen.
+
+  With Emacs, the main reason people change the default display is to
+let them log into another system, run Emacs on that system, but have the
+window displayed at their local terminal.  You might need to log in
+to another system because the files you want to edit are there, or
+because the Emacs executable file you want to run is there.
+
+  The syntax of the @env{DISPLAY} environment variable is
+@samp{@var{host}:@var{display}.@var{screen}}, where @var{host} is the
+host name of the X Window System server machine, @var{display} is an
+arbitrarily-assigned number that distinguishes your server (X terminal)
+from other servers on the same machine, and @var{screen} is a
+rarely-used field that allows an X server to control multiple terminal
+screens.  The period and the @var{screen} field are optional.  If
+included, @var{screen} is usually zero.
+
+  For example, if your host is named @samp{glasperle} and your server is
+the first (or perhaps the only) server listed in the configuration, your
+@env{DISPLAY} is @samp{glasperle:0.0}.
+
+  You can specify the display name explicitly when you run Emacs, either
+by changing the @env{DISPLAY} variable, or with the option @samp{-d
+@var{display}} or @samp{--display=@var{display}}.  Here is an example:
+
+@smallexample
+emacs --display=glasperle:0 &
+@end smallexample
+
+  You can inhibit the direct use of the window system and GUI with the
+@samp{-nw} option.  It tells Emacs to display using ordinary ASCII on
+its controlling terminal.  This is also an initial option.
+
+  Sometimes, security arrangements prevent a program on a remote system
+from displaying on your local system.  In this case, trying to run Emacs
+produces messages like this:
+
+@smallexample
+Xlib:  connection to "glasperle:0.0" refused by server
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+You might be able to overcome this problem by using the @code{xhost}
+command on the local system to give permission for access from your
+remote machine.
+
+@node Font X
+@appendixsec Font Specification Options
+@cindex font name (X Window System)
+
+  By default, Emacs displays text in the font named @samp{9x15}, which
+makes each character nine pixels wide and fifteen pixels high.  You can
+specify a different font on your command line through the option
+@samp{-fn @var{name}} (or @samp{--font}, which is an alias for
+@samp{-fn}).
+
+@table @samp
+@item -fn @var{name}
+@opindex -fn
+@itemx --font=@var{name}
+@opindex --font
+@cindex specify default font from the command line
+Use font @var{name} as the default font.
+@end table
+
+  Under X, each font has a long name which consists of eleven words or
+numbers, separated by dashes.  Some fonts also have shorter
+nicknames---@samp{9x15} is such a nickname.  You can use either kind of
+name.  You can use wildcard patterns for the font name; then Emacs lets
+X choose one of the fonts that match the pattern.  Here is an example,
+which happens to specify the font whose nickname is @samp{6x13}:
+
+@smallexample
+emacs -fn "-misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1" &
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+You can also specify the font in your @file{.Xdefaults} file:
+
+@smallexample
+emacs.font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-semicondensed--13-*-*-*-c-60-iso8859-1
+@end smallexample
+
+  A long font name has the following form:
+
+@smallexample
+-@var{maker}-@var{family}-@var{weight}-@var{slant}-@var{widthtype}-@var{style}@dots{}
+@dots{}-@var{pixels}-@var{height}-@var{horiz}-@var{vert}-@var{spacing}-@var{width}-@var{charset}
+@end smallexample
+
+@table @var
+@item maker
+This is the name of the font manufacturer.
+@item family
+This is the name of the font family---for example, @samp{courier}.
+@item weight
+This is normally @samp{bold}, @samp{medium} or @samp{light}.  Other
+words may appear here in some font names.
+@item slant
+This is @samp{r} (roman), @samp{i} (italic), @samp{o} (oblique),
+@samp{ri} (reverse italic), or @samp{ot} (other).
+@item widthtype
+This is normally @samp{condensed}, @samp{extended}, @samp{semicondensed}
+or @samp{normal}.  Other words may appear here in some font names.
+@item style
+This is an optional additional style name.  Usually it is empty---most
+long font names have two hyphens in a row at this point.
+@item pixels
+This is the font height, in pixels.
+@item height
+This is the font height on the screen, measured in tenths of a printer's
+point---approximately 1/720 of an inch.  In other words, it is the point
+size of the font, times ten.  For a given vertical resolution,
+@var{height} and @var{pixels} are proportional; therefore, it is common
+to specify just one of them and use @samp{*} for the other.
+@item horiz
+This is the horizontal resolution, in pixels per inch, of the screen for
+which the font is intended.
+@item vert
+This is the vertical resolution, in pixels per inch, of the screen for
+which the font is intended.  Normally the resolution of the fonts on
+your system is the right value for your screen; therefore, you normally
+specify @samp{*} for this and @var{horiz}.
+@item spacing
+This is @samp{m} (monospace), @samp{p} (proportional) or @samp{c}
+(character cell).
+@item width
+This is the average character width, in pixels, multiplied by ten.
+@item charset
+This is the character set that the font depicts.
+Normally you should use @samp{iso8859-1}.
+@end table
+
+@cindex listing system fonts
+  You will probably want to use a fixed-width default font---that is,
+a font in which all characters have the same width.  Any font with
+@samp{m} or @samp{c} in the @var{spacing} field of the long name is a
+fixed-width font.  Here's how to use the @code{xlsfonts} program to
+list all the fixed-width fonts available on your system:
+
+@example
+xlsfonts -fn '*x*' | egrep "^[0-9]+x[0-9]+"
+xlsfonts -fn '*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-m*'
+xlsfonts -fn '*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-c*'
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+To see what a particular font looks like, use the @code{xfd} command.
+For example:
+
+@example
+xfd -fn 6x13
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+displays the entire font @samp{6x13}.
+
+  While running Emacs, you can set the font of the current frame
+(@pxref{Frame Parameters}) or for a specific kind of text
+(@pxref{Faces}).
+
+@node Colors X
+@appendixsec Window Color Options
+@cindex color of window
+@cindex text colors, from command line
+
+@findex list-colors-display
+@cindex available colors
+  On a color display, you can specify which color to use for various
+parts of the Emacs display.  To find out what colors are available on
+your system, type @kbd{M-x list-colors-display}, or press
+@kbd{C-Mouse-2} and select @samp{Display Colors} from the pop-up menu.
+If you do not specify colors, on windowed displays the default for the
+background is white and the default for all other colors is black.  On a
+monochrome display, the foreground is black, the background is white,
+and the border is gray if the display supports that.  On terminals, the
+background is usually black and the foreground is white.
+
+  Here is a list of the command-line options for specifying colors:
+
+@table @samp
+@item -fg @var{color}
+@opindex -fg
+@itemx --foreground-color=@var{color}
+@opindex --foreground-color
+@cindex foreground color, command-line argument
+Specify the foreground color.  @var{color} should be a standard color
+name, or a numeric specification of the color's red, green, and blue
+components as in @samp{#4682B4} or @samp{RGB:46/82/B4}.
+@item -bg @var{color}
+@opindex -bg
+@itemx --background-color=@var{color}
+@opindex --background-color
+@cindex background color, command-line argument
+Specify the background color.
+@item -bd @var{color}
+@opindex -bd
+@itemx --border-color=@var{color}
+@opindex --border-color
+@cindex border color, command-line argument
+Specify the color of the border of the X window.
+@item -cr @var{color}
+@opindex -cr
+@itemx --cursor-color=@var{color}
+@opindex --cursor-color
+@cindex cursor color, command-line argument
+Specify the color of the Emacs cursor which indicates where point is.
+@item -ms @var{color}
+@opindex -ms
+@itemx --mouse-color=@var{color}
+@opindex --mouse-color
+@cindex mouse pointer color, command-line argument
+Specify the color for the mouse cursor when the mouse is in the Emacs window.
+@item -r
+@opindex -r
+@itemx -rv
+@opindex -rv
+@itemx --reverse-video
+@opindex --reverse-video
+@cindex reverse video, command-line argument
+Reverse video---swap the foreground and background colors.
+@end table
+
+  For example, to use a coral mouse cursor and a slate blue text cursor,
+enter:
+
+@example
+emacs -ms coral -cr 'slate blue' &
+@end example
+
+  You can reverse the foreground and background colors through the
+@samp{-rv} option or with the X resource @samp{reverseVideo}.
+
+  The @samp{-fg}, @samp{-bg}, and @samp{-rv} options function on
+text-only terminals as well as on window systems.
+
+@node Window Size X
+@appendixsec Options for Window Geometry
+@cindex geometry of Emacs window
+@cindex position and size of Emacs frame
+@cindex width and height of Emacs frame
+
+  The @samp{--geometry} option controls the size and position of the
+initial Emacs frame.  Here is the format for specifying the window
+geometry:
+
+@table @samp
+@item -g @var{width}x@var{height}@r{[@{}+-@r{@}}@var{xoffset}@r{@{}+-@r{@}}@var{yoffset}@r{]]}
+@opindex -g
+Specify window size @var{width} and @var{height} (measured in character
+columns and lines), and positions @var{xoffset} and @var{yoffset}
+(measured in pixels).
+
+@item --geometry=@var{width}x@var{height}@r{[@{}+-@r{@}}@var{xoffset}@r{@{}+-@r{@}}@var{yoffset}@r{]]}
+@opindex --geometry
+This is another way of writing the same thing.
+@end table
+
+@noindent
+@code{@r{@{}+-@r{@}}} means either a plus sign or a minus sign.  A plus
+sign before @var{xoffset} means it is the distance from the left side of
+the screen; a minus sign means it counts from the right side.  A plus
+sign before @var{yoffset} means it is the distance from the top of the
+screen, and a minus sign there indicates the distance from the bottom.
+The values @var{xoffset} and @var{yoffset} may themselves be positive or
+negative, but that doesn't change their meaning, only their direction.
+
+  Emacs uses the same units as @code{xterm} does to interpret the geometry.
+The @var{width} and @var{height} are measured in characters, so a large font
+creates a larger frame than a small font.  (If you specify a proportional
+font, Emacs uses its maximum bounds width as the width unit.)  The
+@var{xoffset} and @var{yoffset} are measured in pixels.
+
+  Since the mode line and the echo area occupy the last 2 lines of the
+frame, the height of the initial text window is 2 less than the height
+specified in your geometry.  In non-X-toolkit versions of Emacs, the
+menu bar also takes one line of the specified number.  But in the X
+toolkit version, the menu bar is additional and does not count against
+the specified height.  The tool bar, if present, is also additional.
+
+  You do not have to specify all of the fields in the geometry
+specification.
+
+  If you omit both @var{xoffset} and @var{yoffset}, the window manager
+decides where to put the Emacs frame, possibly by letting you place
+it with the mouse.  For example, @samp{164x55} specifies a window 164
+columns wide, enough for two ordinary width windows side by side, and 55
+lines tall.
+
+  The default width for Emacs is 80 characters and the default height is
+40 lines.  You can omit either the width or the height or both.  If
+you start the geometry with an integer, Emacs interprets it as the
+width.  If you start with an @samp{x} followed by an integer, Emacs
+interprets it as the height.  Thus, @samp{81} specifies just the width;
+@samp{x45} specifies just the height.
+
+  If you start with @samp{+} or @samp{-}, that introduces an offset,
+which means both sizes are omitted.  Thus, @samp{-3} specifies the
+@var{xoffset} only.  (If you give just one offset, it is always
+@var{xoffset}.)  @samp{+3-3} specifies both the @var{xoffset} and the
+@var{yoffset}, placing the frame near the bottom left of the screen.
+
+  You can specify a default for any or all of the fields in
+@file{.Xdefaults} file, and then override selected fields with a
+@samp{--geometry} option.
+
+@node Borders X
+@appendixsec Internal and External Borders
+@cindex borders (X Window System)
+
+  An Emacs frame has an internal border and an external border.  The
+internal border is an extra strip of the background color around the
+text portion of the frame.  Emacs itself draws the internal border.
+The external border is added by the window manager outside the frame;
+depending on the window manager you use, it may contain various boxes
+you can click on to move or iconify the window.
+
+@table @samp
+@item -ib @var{width}
+@opindex -ib
+@itemx --internal-border=@var{width}
+@opindex --internal-border
+@cindex border width, command-line argument
+Specify @var{width} as the width of the internal border, in pixels.
+
+@item -bw @var{width}
+@opindex -bw
+@itemx --border-width=@var{width}
+@opindex --border-width
+Specify @var{width} as the width of the main border, in pixels.
+@end table
+
+  When you specify the size of the frame, that does not count the
+borders.  The frame's position is measured from the outside edge of the
+external border.
+
+  Use the @samp{-ib @var{n}} option to specify an internal border
+@var{n} pixels wide.  The default is 1.  Use @samp{-bw @var{n}} to
+specify the width of the external border (though the window manager may
+not pay attention to what you specify).  The default width of the
+external border is 2.
+
+@node Title X
+@appendixsec Frame Titles
+
+  An Emacs frame may or may not have a specified title.  The frame
+title, if specified, appears in window decorations and icons as the
+name of the frame.  If an Emacs frame has no specified title, the
+default title has the form @samp{@var{invocation-name}@@@var{machine}}
+(if there is only one frame) or the selected window's buffer name (if
+there is more than one frame).
+
+  You can specify a title for the initial Emacs frame with a command
+line option:
+
+@table @samp
+@item -title @var{title}
+@opindex --title
+@itemx --title=@var{title}
+@itemx -T @var{title}
+@opindex -T
+@cindex frame title, command-line argument
+Specify @var{title} as the title for the initial Emacs frame.
+@end table
+
+  The @samp{--name} option (@pxref{Resources X}) also specifies the title
+for the initial Emacs frame.
+
+@node Icons X
+@appendixsec Icons
+@cindex icons (X Window System)
+
+  Most window managers allow the user to ``iconify'' a frame, removing
+it from sight, and leaving a small, distinctive ``icon'' window in its
+place.  Clicking on the icon window makes the frame itself appear again.
+If you have many clients running at once, you can avoid cluttering up
+the screen by iconifying most of the clients.
+
+@table @samp
+@item -i
+@opindex -i
+@itemx --icon-type
+@opindex --icon-type
+@cindex Emacs icon, a gnu
+Use a picture of a gnu as the Emacs icon.
+
+@item -iconic
+@opindex --iconic
+@itemx --iconic
+@cindex start iconified, command-line argument
+Start Emacs in iconified state.
+@end table
+
+  The @samp{-i} or @samp{--icon-type} option tells Emacs to use an icon
+window containing a picture of the GNU gnu.  If omitted, Emacs lets the
+window manager choose what sort of icon to use---usually just a small
+rectangle containing the frame's title.
+
+  The @samp{-iconic} option tells Emacs to begin running as an icon,
+rather than showing a frame right away.  In this situation, the icon
+is the only indication that Emacs has started; the text frame doesn't
+appear until you deiconify it.
+
+@node Resources X
+@appendixsec X Resources
+@cindex resources
+
+@cindex X resources, @file{~/.Xdefaults} file
+  Programs running under the X Window System organize their user options
+under a hierarchy of classes and resources.  You can specify default
+values for these options in your X resources file, usually named
+@file{~/.Xdefaults}.
+
+  Each line in the file specifies a value for one option or for a
+collection of related options, for one program or for several programs
+(optionally even for all programs).
+
+@cindex Registry (MS-Windows)
+@cindex @file{.Xdefaults} file, and MS-Windows
+  MS-Windows systems don't support @file{~/.Xdefaults} files, but
+Emacs compiled for Windows looks for X resources in the Windows
+Registry, under the keys @samp{HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs}
+and @samp{HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\GNU\Emacs}.
+
+  Programs define named resources with particular meanings.  They also
+define how to group resources into named classes.  For instance, in
+Emacs, the @samp{internalBorder} resource controls the width of the
+internal border, and the @samp{borderWidth} resource controls the width
+of the external border.  Both of these resources are part of the
+@samp{BorderWidth} class.  Case distinctions are significant in these
+names.
+
+  In @file{~/.Xdefaults}, you can specify a value for a single resource
+on one line, like this:
+
+@example
+emacs.borderWidth: 2
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+Or you can use a class name to specify the same value for all resources
+in that class.  Here's an example:
+
+@example
+emacs.BorderWidth: 2
+@end example
+
+  If you specify a value for a class, it becomes the default for all
+resources in that class.  You can specify values for individual
+resources as well; these override the class value, for those particular
+resources.  Thus, this example specifies 2 as the default width for all
+borders, but overrides this value with 4 for the external border:
+
+@example
+emacs.BorderWidth: 2
+emacs.borderWidth: 4
+@end example
+
+  The order in which the lines appear in the file does not matter.
+Also, command-line options always override the X resources file.
+
+  The string @samp{emacs} in the examples above is also a resource
+name.  It actually represents the name of the executable file that you
+invoke to run Emacs.  If Emacs is installed under a different name, it
+looks for resources under that name instead of @samp{emacs}.
+
+@table @samp
+@item -name @var{name}
+@opindex --name
+@itemx --name=@var{name}
+@cindex resource name, command-line argument
+Use @var{name} as the resource name (and the title) for the initial
+Emacs frame.  This option does not affect subsequent frames, but Lisp
+programs can specify frame names when they create frames.
+
+If you don't specify this option, the default is to use the Emacs
+executable's name as the resource name.
+
+@item -xrm @var{resource-values}
+@opindex --xrm
+@itemx --xrm=@var{resource-values}
+@cindex resource values, command-line argument
+Specify X resource values for this Emacs job (see below).
+@end table
+
+  For consistency, @samp{-name} also specifies the name to use for
+other resource values that do not belong to any particular frame.
+
+  The resources that name Emacs invocations also belong to a class; its
+name is @samp{Emacs}.  If you write @samp{Emacs} instead of
+@samp{emacs}, the resource applies to all frames in all Emacs jobs,
+regardless of frame titles and regardless of the name of the executable
+file.  Here is an example:
+
+@example
+Emacs.BorderWidth: 2
+Emacs.borderWidth: 4
+@end example
+
+  You can specify a string of additional resource values for Emacs to
+use with the command line option @samp{-xrm @var{resources}}.  The text
+@var{resources} should have the same format that you would use inside a file
+of X resources.  To include multiple resource specifications in
+@var{resources}, put a newline between them, just as you would in a file.
+You can also use @samp{#include "@var{filename}"} to include a file full
+of resource specifications.  Resource values specified with @samp{-xrm}
+take precedence over all other resource specifications.
+
+  The following table lists the resource names that designate options
+for Emacs, each with the class that it belongs to:
+
+@table @asis
+@item @code{background} (class @code{Background})
+Background color name.
+
+@item @code{bitmapIcon} (class @code{BitmapIcon})
+Use a bitmap icon (a picture of a gnu) if @samp{on}, let the window
+manager choose an icon if @samp{off}.
+
+@item @code{borderColor} (class @code{BorderColor})
+Color name for the external border.
+
+@item @code{borderWidth} (class @code{BorderWidth})
+Width in pixels of the external border.
+
+@item @code{cursorColor} (class @code{Foreground})
+Color name for text cursor (point).
+
+@item @code{font} (class @code{Font})
+Font name for text (or fontset name, @pxref{Fontsets}).
+
+@item @code{foreground} (class @code{Foreground})
+Color name for text.
+
+@item @code{geometry} (class @code{Geometry})
+Window size and position.  Be careful not to specify this resource as
+@samp{emacs*geometry}, because that may affect individual menus as well
+as the Emacs frame itself.
+
+If this resource specifies a position, that position applies only to the
+initial Emacs frame (or, in the case of a resource for a specific frame
+name, only that frame).  However, the size, if specified here, applies to
+all frames.
+
+@item @code{iconName} (class @code{Title})
+Name to display in the icon.
+
+@item @code{internalBorder} (class @code{BorderWidth})
+Width in pixels of the internal border.
+
+@item @code{lineSpacing} (class @code{LineSpacing})
+@cindex line spacing
+@cindex leading
+Additional space (@dfn{leading}) between lines, in pixels.
+
+@item @code{menuBar} (class @code{MenuBar})
+Give frames menu bars if @samp{on}; don't have menu bars if @samp{off}.
+
+@item @code{toolBar} (class @code{ToolBar})
+Number of lines to reserve for the tool bar.  A zero value suppresses
+the tool bar.  If the value is non-zero and
+@code{auto-resize-tool-bars} is non-@code{nil}, the tool bar's size
+will be changed automatically so that all tool bar items are visible.
+
+@item @code{minibuffer} (class @code{Minibuffer})
+If @samp{none}, don't make a minibuffer in this frame.
+It will use a separate minibuffer frame instead.
+
+@item @code{paneFont} (class @code{Font})
+@cindex font for menus
+Font name for menu pane titles, in non-toolkit versions of Emacs.
+
+@item @code{pointerColor} (class @code{Foreground})
+Color of the mouse cursor.
+
+@ignore
+@item @code{privateColormap} (class @code{PrivateColormap})
+If @samp{on}, use a private color map, in the case where the ``default
+visual'' of class PseudoColor and Emacs is using it.
+@end ignore
+
+@item @code{reverseVideo} (class @code{ReverseVideo})
+Switch foreground and background default colors if @samp{on}, use colors as
+specified if @samp{off}.
+
+@item @code{screenGamma} (class @code{ScreenGamma})
+@cindex gamma correction
+Gamma correction for colors, equivalent to the frame parameter
+@code{screen-gamma}.
+
+@item @code{selectionFont} (class @code{Font})
+Font name for pop-up menu items, in non-toolkit versions of Emacs.  (For
+toolkit versions, see @ref{Lucid Resources}, also see @ref{LessTif
+Resources}.)
+
+@item @code{synchronous} (class @code{Synchronous})
+@cindex debugging X problems
+@cindex synchronous X mode
+Run Emacs in synchronous mode if @samp{on}.  Synchronous mode is
+useful for debugging X problems.
+
+@item @code{title} (class @code{Title})
+Name to display in the title bar of the initial Emacs frame.
+
+@item @code{verticalScrollBars} (class @code{ScrollBars})
+Give frames scroll bars if @samp{on}; don't have scroll bars if
+@samp{off}.
+@end table
+
+  Here are resources for controlling the appearance of particular faces
+(@pxref{Faces}):

+@cindex Lucid Widget X Resources
+
+  If the Emacs installed at your site was built to use the X toolkit
+with the Lucid menu widgets, then the menu bar is a separate widget and
+has its own resources.  The resource names contain @samp{pane.menubar}
+(following, as always, the name of the Emacs invocation, or @samp{Emacs},
+which stands for all Emacs invocations).  Specify them like this:
+
+@example
+Emacs.pane.menubar.@var{resource}:  @var{value}
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+For example, to specify the font @samp{8x16} for the menu-bar items,
+write this:
+
+@example
+Emacs.pane.menubar.font:  8x16
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+Resources for @emph{non-menubar} toolkit pop-up menus have
+@samp{menu*}, in like fashion.  For example, to specify the font
+@samp{8x16} for the pop-up menu items, write this:
+
+@example
+Emacs.menu*.font:	8x16
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+For dialog boxes, use @samp{dialog} instead of @samp{menu}:
+
+@example
+Emacs.dialog*.font:	8x16
+@end example
+
+@noindent
+Experience shows that on some systems you may need to add
+@samp{shell.}@: before the @samp{pane.menubar} or @samp{menu*}.  On
+some other systems, you must not add @samp{shell.}.
+
+  Here is a list of the specific resources for menu bars and pop-up menus:
+
+@table @code
+@item font
+Font for menu item text.
+@item foreground
+Color of the foreground.
+@item background
+Color of the background.
+@item buttonForeground
+In the menu bar, the color of the foreground for a selected item.
+@item horizontalSpacing
+Horizontal spacing in pixels between items.  Default is 3.
+@item verticalSpacing
+Vertical spacing in pixels between items.  Default is 1.
+@item arrowSpacing
+Horizontal spacing between the arrow (which indicates a submenu) and
+the associated text.  Default is 10.
+@item shadowThickness
+Thickness of shadow line around the widget.
+@item margin
+The margin of the menu bar, in characters.  The default of 4 makes the
+menu bar appear like the LessTif/Motif one.
+@end table
+
+@node LessTif Resources
+@appendixsec LessTif Menu X Resources
+@cindex Menu X Resources (LessTif widgets)
+@cindex LessTif Widget X Resources
+
+  If the Emacs installed at your site was built to use the X toolkit
+with the LessTif or Motif widgets, then the menu bar, the dialog
+boxes, the pop-up menus, and the file-selection box are separate
+widgets and have their own resources.
+
+  The resource names for the menu bar contain @samp{pane.menubar}
+(following, as always, the name of the Emacs invocation, or
+@samp{Emacs}, which stands for all Emacs invocations).  Specify them
+like this:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.@var{subwidget}.@var{resource}:  @var{value}
+@end smallexample
+
+  Each individual string in the menu bar is a subwidget; the subwidget's
+name is the same as the menu item string.  For example, the word
+@samp{File} in the menu bar is part of a subwidget named
+@samp{emacs.pane.menubar.File}.  Most likely, you want to specify the
+same resources for the whole menu bar.  To do this, use @samp{*} instead
+of a specific subwidget name.  For example, to specify the font
+@samp{8x16} for the menu-bar items, write this:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.*.fontList:  8x16
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+This also specifies the resource value for submenus.
+
+  Each item in a submenu in the menu bar also has its own name for X
+resources; for example, the @samp{File} submenu has an item named
+@samp{Save (current buffer)}.  A resource specification for a submenu
+item looks like this:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.@var{menu}.@var{item}.@var{resource}: @var{value}
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+For example, here's how to specify the font for the @samp{Save (current
+buffer)} item:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.File.Save (current buffer).fontList: 8x16
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+For an item in a second-level submenu, such as @samp{Complete Word}
+under @samp{Spell Checking} under @samp{Tools}, the resource fits this
+template:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.popup_*.@var{menu}.@var{resource}: @var{value}
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+For example,
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.popup_*.Spell Checking.Complete Word: @var{value}
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+(This should be one long line.)
+
+  It's impossible to specify a resource for all the menu-bar items
+without also specifying it for the submenus as well.  So if you want the
+submenu items to look different from the menu bar itself, you must ask
+for that in two steps.  First, specify the resource for all of them;
+then, override the value for submenus alone.  Here is an example:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.pane.menubar.*.fontList:  8x16
+Emacs.pane.menubar.popup_*.fontList: 8x16
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+For LessTif pop-up menus, use @samp{menu*} instead of
+@samp{pane.menubar}.  For example, to specify the font @samp{8x16} for
+the pop-up menu items, write this:
+
+@smallexample
+Emacs.menu*.fontList:  8x16
+@end smallexample
+
+@noindent
+For LessTif dialog boxes, use @samp{dialog} instead of @samp{menu}:
+
+@example
+Emacs.dialog*.fontList: 8x16
+Emacs.dialog*.foreground: hotpink
+@end example
+
+To specify resources for the LessTif file-selection box, use
+@samp{fsb*}, like this:
+
+@example
+Emacs.fsb*.fontList: 8x16
+@end example
+
+@iftex
+@medbreak
+@end iftex
+  Here is a list of the specific resources for LessTif menu bars and
+pop-up menus:
+
+@table @code
+@item armColor
+The color to show in an armed button.
+@item fontList
+The font to use.
+@item marginBottom
+@itemx marginHeight
+@itemx marginLeft
+@itemx marginRight
+@itemx marginTop
+@itemx marginWidth
+Amount of space to leave around the item, within the border.
+@item borderWidth
+The width of the border around the menu item, on all sides.
+@item shadowThickness
+The width of the border shadow.
+@item bottomShadowColor
+The color for the border shadow, on the bottom and the right.
+@item topShadowColor
+The color for the border shadow, on the top and the left.
