Changing colours in rxvt for specific application

Was wondering if there is a way to override .Xdefaults for a specific application (mutt specifically)?  Is there a way to load a seperate colour config file for a one off terminal window?

Yes, there is a way to make one-off terminal windows.  One of the easiest is to simply change the 'name' resource of the terminal.  In this example I have my xterm's normal background color set to a nearly black color and the alternate background set to a dark green.
! X resource file example
! Normal background
XTerm*background: rgb:08/08/08
! Alternate background
green*background: rgb:08/16/08
The normal background is called with the command 'xterm'.  If I want to change to the alternate background, I use this command:
$ xterm -name green
Play with and read about the difference between instances and classes in X resources.  You can also set many X resources for most Xlib programs from the command line.  You'll have to RTFM.
Edit: The example code works when you substitute 'URxvt' or 'Rxvt' for the 'XTerm' class when using rxvt-unicode.

  • Change/Set permissions for specific application?!

    I have at least one application that always enables GPS although it isn't needed --> more power consumption, I don't know why it is doing this. Additionally I have some applications I don't want to have access to the internet (at least if I'm not connected to Wifi).
    On the other hand I have a java application that should have access to GPS and mobile data without asking every time for the permission.
    Where/How can I achieve this? Why have some applications always to ask when others have permissions for things they don't need for proper function?

    Hi AUTxRemoteC,
    According to the best of my knowledge you can only access suite settings and change them according to your preferences for certain applications only. To be able to do so, go to Menu> Settings> Installations> Already Installed the open it. From there, you can only change specific application settings and I know mostly java applications use this method. To check on which applications that you can access and change the settings place your finger to the desired application and hold it and when you see suite settings then you can change it settings. Usually when you hold to an application there is view details and delete but when you see the extra option that is suite settings then open suite settings and change them to your preferences.
    I hope that it helps you.

  • [Solved] How to use Oracle Java 6 for specific applications

    I use an IDE called PyCharm. On its download page, it recommends using Java 6 instead of OpenJDK. I currently have jdk7-openjdk installed, and from what I had read in the Arch Wiki on Java, it should be possible to install Oracle Java 6 along side OpenJDK 7.
    However, after installing jdk6-compat and jre6-compat, I still see that I am running OpenJDK 7 when I run the following:
    % java -version
    java version "1.7.0_09"
    OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea7 2.3.3) (ArchLinux build 7.u9_2.3.3-1-x86_64)
    OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.2-b09, mixed mode)
    ...even after I have set JAVA_HOME and added /opt/java6/bin to my path.
    How can I get PyCharm (or other applications) to use Oracle Java 6 instead of OpenJDK?
    Thanks, and apologies if I've posted in the wrong place.

    I found the solution.
    For Pycharm, I just needed to add an environment variable PYCHARM_JDK. For running specific applications, I asked this question on the Unix / Linux StackExchange and got an answer there.
    Also, after running PyCharm in Java 6... I would not recommend it. OpenJDK works fine

  • Older java for specific applications only

    I have 1.5.0 and 1.6.0 java installed on Snow Leopard. If I drag the 32 bit 1.5.0 (aka J2SE 5.0) version to the top of the preferences list for apps, then Fonality HUD works as well as it did before I upgraded to Snow Leopard. If I leave the 64 bit 1.6.0 (aka Java SE 6.0) at the top, it crashes almost immediately. (And the 32 bit 6.0 does not make it work.)
    But I don't want to make the downrev version my default java for all applications!
    I tried uncommenting the 1.5.0 line in the Info.plist for HUD, per the comments there, but that did not work.
    How can I tell this application to use 1.5.0 instead of 1.6.0 without affecting any other java apps I might want to run?
    TIA

    Apparently it runs 1.5 if you install it, for example http://wiki.oneswarm.org/index.php/OSX_10.6_SnowLeopard, which actually references the very application that I'm trying to make work: HUD.
    And it DOES work just fine, following those instructions. I just don't like the idea of running 1.5.0 as my default java for all my applications when most of them will run fine (better!) with the official version of java for Snow Leopard.
    Isn't there a way to tell one application to use a specific version of java? Does JAVA_HOME still do this? I tried that and failed, but maybe I did not set it to the correct value - the java command in 1.5.0 or something else?

  • How to change exchange rate type for specific pricing condition type

    Hello every one,
    I have a requirement for billing ie VF01.
    currently  all the exchange rate are being calculated with exchange rate type 'M' by default.
    but now client want it should calculate exchange rate with type 'E' for two pricing condition type for all others it should calculate with type 'M'
    Please any body can help me with the exit and code which i can use.
    I have checked exits SDVFX008.
    but how to change exchange rate with type 'E' only for two conditions.
    as changing exchange rate at document header will change exchange rate for all condition type.

    You need to assign KOMK-KURST = 'E', for those two condition types. If it had been item number specific, you could have used USEREXIT_PRICING_PREPARE_TKOMK(RV60AFZZ).
    Do one thing, put a breakpoint on FM 'PRICING' and then do selective runtime analysis.
    Check whether any user exit/BADI/ explicit enhancement are available when condition types are processed in a loop. If nothing is available, try implicit enhancement.
    Link to refer for selective runtime analysis - Runtime Analysis for VOFM
    Also try with VOFM requirements ( not sure whether changing KOMK-KURST is permissable in requirement as normally  we only set sy-subrc values to suppress/allow condition types ). Don't forget to assign requirements against condition types in pricing procedure.

  • How can I change the login page for an application

    Hello,
    I've created an application that uses some general login page (http://localhost:7777/pls/apex/wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login_page).
    How can I make my application to use, by default, a custom Login page (in fact the 101 - Login page) ?
    Thank you.

    Create an authentication scheme using the wizard in the Application Builder. It will normally default to using page 101. If you need to edit the scheme, you can change 101 to something else.
    BTW, the procedure you named is not a login page and you should not use that procedure.

  • Overriding shortcut keys for specific applications

    How can I override the F9 key so that it works in Flash as its supposed to (open Actions dialog box)? I tried using the System Preferences but it isn't changing it. Flash will not allow me to reassign the key either. The F9 key shows all open windows even when Flash is active. Can I turn off the shortcut in System Preferences? I can't even find it...

    Open system preferences and click on Keyboard & Mouse, then Keyboard Shortcuts. Scroll down to Dock, Expose and Dashboard, there you will find all the key settings for this.
    Just click the box off for no key or click directly on F9 for All Windows and assign a new keystroke to it. You can choose an F key not already assigned or add a keystroke, such as control or option plus the F9 key.

  • PHP - create room for specific application

    Hi!
    I am creating room using PHP library and can not figure how to specify application for this room.
    Now I have a default appliaction and MyFirstApp paid application, how i can specify "MyFirstApp" for new room?

    Hi,
    So, when you create a room, you specify the roomName and the template/application name from which you want to create the room. So, to create a room with MyFirstApp application template, you should do something like
    accountManager.createRoom("roomName","MyFirstApp") ; // this is for java, convert in php
    If you don't specify anything in the second parameter, it will be created from default template, which is empty of any collectionnodes/nodes. Please go through Room Provisioning section in our Developer Guide for more details.
    Hope this helps
    Thanks

  • Disable "correct spelling automatically" for specific applications?

    Is there a way to disable the "correct spelling automatically" on an application by abblication basis? I would like to use it in most apps, but want it disabled when I am doing web dev using programs like Coda. Any ideas?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I don't see anything in there about Apple's new built-in auto-correct feature. It looks like it deals mostly with Coda's own spell checker where it underlined words in red that it thinks are mis-spelled.
    I did find that Coda released a software update to fix some Lion issues. I'm not sure if this update addressed the auto-correct issue, but in the few minutes I've using Coda since the software update I have not experienced the problem.

  • Disabling commons logging for specific application

    Hi
    Is there some possiblity to disable default logging (commons) on glassfish? I have configured log4j and the default commons logging polluts my logs...
    Regards

    For those items that are to be disabled, you could add a new style class to each cell control to indicate it's disabled. You could use a formatter function:
    addStyleClass : {
        parts : [ 'isRecordLocked' ],
        formatter : function(isRecordLocked) {
            return isRecordLocked ? "disabledStyle" : "";
    where 'isRecordLocked' is the indicator in your data whether your record is locked, and 'disabledStyle' is the custom CSS class which caters for a disabled look of your cell.
    If you need to suppress any press events for the locked records, you could do it in the same way.

  • Change Start-Page for the Application

    Hallo,
    how can I change the Start-Page for the Application ?
    Thanks
    I. Schult transcoject Neumünster

    Another action you can take is to change the page ID in the p_flow_page argument to the wwv_flow_custom_auth_std.login call in the login process on the login page (if you have one), e.g., change P_FLOW_PAGE => :APP_ID||':1' to FLOWPAGE => :APP_ID||':99' to change the 'after login' page from 1 to 99. This will be the page (in the current application) redirected to after authentication, absent a deep link.
    The home link application attribute has limited use, e.g., for determining which page to show when you use the Run Application icon in the builder.

  • Changing Colour and font of individual OAF pages

    Hi,
    Is it possible to change colour and font for individual OAF pages?I am aware of CUSTOM.xss but that changes it for the whole application.I want to make the changes for specific pages.
    Thanks,

    Try using HTML:
    Set the text to:
    area.setText("<html>My <b>Text</b> Here</html>");
    and see if the word Text is in bold. If so, then you can go as far as you want using HTML tags to set bold, color, etc.

  • Resizing  Screen Resolution for Specific Apps?

    Hello team,
    Is it possible to resize screen resolution for specific applications? Most of my apps look fine at 1024x768, but there are a couple of older OS 9 apps that I need to run (talking school computers here) which are a bit on the small side when viewed at that resolution. Can I somehow set things so that when those applications are launched, the resolution changes to 800x600, and then reverts to 1024x768 when they're quit again? Any and all details about this will be most appreciated, and I thank you in advance for your help!

    LCD panels must be used at their native resolution. Whatever it is for you monitor is what you must set it to.

  • Deploy library for specific app in WL8

    Hello,
    In WL10, it is possible to deploy a library for specific application. Could anyone tell me how this would be done in WL8?
    Because the library should be seen by one application only and it conflicts with other application. Please helpppp..... :)

    Pete, the fact to use exploded archive is not a bad practice.
    Some of my clients have huge EARs and they don't have the choice if they want to update only a WAR.
    As for the original problem, if your client application changes and so does your library, you'll have to update the whole stuff, right ?
    Or you have for instance an EAR containing several webapps, with a JAR lib wich is used as an business interface.
    And when you modify your application (one of your webapp) and the library, you don't want to update the whole EAR. Is my understanding ok ?
    If so, solution proposed by Pete is the right one.
    Hope that helps.
