  Customizing the Colors for One Application

  You can change the color for a specific application's border
  using Mwm    *className  * resource where className is the
  class specified by an application.

  For example, to set the border color of all DECterm windows,

  1.  Add this resource to your user resource file.

      *   Mwm   *DECW$TERMINAL          *background:  Slate Blue
          for OpenVMS or

      *   Mwm    DXterm    background:  Slate Blue for other
                *         *
          systems.

  2.  Restart Mwm.

  All DECterm borders will be slate blue when they are inactive
  and hence easier to distinguish from other windows.

  To change the active color, substitute activeBackground in
  the resource name.
