You can specify a string of additional resource values for Emacs to use with the command line option -xrm resources. The text resources should have the same format that you would use inside a file of X resources. To include multiple resource specifications in resources, put a newline between them, just as you would in a file. You can also use #include "filename" to include a file full of resource specifications. Resource values specified with -xrm take precedence over all other resource specifications.
The following table lists the resource names that designate options for Emacs, each with the class that it belongs to:
- background (class Background)
Background color name. - bitmapIcon (class BitmapIcon)
Use a bitmap icon (a picture of a gnu) if on, let the window manager choose an icon if off. - borderColor (class BorderColor)
Color name for the external border. - borderWidth (class BorderWidth)
Width in pixels of the external border. - cursorColor (class Foreground)
Color name for text cursor (point). - font (class Font)
Font name for text (or fontset name, see Fontsets). - foreground (class Foreground)
Color name for text. - geometry (class Geometry)
Window size and position. Be careful not to specify this resource as emacs*geometry, because that may affect individual menus as well as the Emacs frame itself.If this resource specifies a position, that position applies only to the initial Emacs frame (or, in the case of a resource for a specific frame name, only that frame). However, the size, if specified here, applies to all frames.
- iconName (class Title)
Name to display in the icon. - internalBorder (class BorderWidth)
Width in pixels of the internal border. - lineSpacing (class LineSpacing)
Additional space (leading) between lines, in pixels. - menuBar (class MenuBar)
Give frames menu bars if on; don't have menu bars if off. - toolBar (class ToolBar)
Number of lines to reserve for the tool bar. A zero value suppresses the tool bar. If the value is non-zero and auto-resize-tool-bars is non-nil, the tool bar's size will be changed automatically so that all tool bar items are visible. - minibuffer (class Minibuffer)
If none, don't make a minibuffer in this frame. It will use a separate minibuffer frame instead. - paneFont (class Font)
Font name for menu pane titles, in non-toolkit versions of Emacs. - pointerColor (class Foreground)
Color of the mouse cursor. - reverseVideo
