I use .Xresources to set the various colors of my emacs. For example

Emacs.Foreground: wheat
Emacs.Background: black
Emacs.pointerColor: white
Emacs.cursorColor: red
Emacs.menu.attributeForeground: snow1
Emacs.menu.attributeBackground: darkred
Emacs.scrollBarBackground: midnightblue
Emacs.mode-line.attributeForeground: yellow
Emacs.mode-line.attributeBackground: midnightblue

This works great. HOwever, I have not been able to find the Xresource
attribute for the small pop-up window which sometimes happens when you
have used the menu to do something. Usually, its a yes/no prompt. The
problem is the background and foreground colours are so similar, you
cannot read the button or prompt. 

Can anyone tell me what the x resource values are for this pop-up
window? I've looked through the maual, but can't find them anywhere.

thanks,

Tim

Could be these work:

Emacs.dialog*.font:             -*-new century 
schoolbook-bold-r-*-*-10-*-*-*-*-*-iso10646-*
Emacs.dialog*.background:       LightSteelBlue1
Emacs.dialog*.foreground:       DarkRed

In last millenium. It probably was in the X Resources section, node 
LessTif. And: they are still there!

C-h i m Emacs RET m X SPC Resou TAB RET
