Nice! Now I want to get the colors /just right/. Specifically, I want to set the background to a color that's not in the output of list-colors-display. How can I do this? I used to use X resources, but obviously that's not going to work under Aqua. I thought I used to know how this was done, but I've forgotten and google isn't helping me. Any help appreciated!
