use this format in your .Xdefaults ?

I don't know how much you can change and how easy it is
(See REF PROPSHEET) but my RCLIB package is designed to make
all these things much easier without using Propsheet (and therefore
without using motif or openlook widgets).

It duplicates most of propsheet's facilities, in a slightly(??)
different style, but is all programmed in Pop-11 on the basis of LIB
RC_GRAPHIC, so it is fairly easy to change if you don't like the
defaults.

You can get it from the Birmingham Poplog ftp site.
	ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/

The rclib package can either be browsed online in the rclib
directory or fetched as a gzipped tar file in rctar.gz

The rclib/README file gives an overview and tells you how to install
everything for easy access.

Suggestions for improvement always welcome.

I also have some tools built on propsheet which may provide
some of what you want, though I shall be replacing them with rclib.

You can find them in
	ftp://ftp.cs.bham.ac.uk/pub/dist/poplog/menutar.gz

I think there's stuff there that uses the updater of
	XptWidgetCoords
to relocate a propsheet panel.
