To change the foreground and background colors, update the `.Xdefaults' file in the home directory. The resources are the same as for `hpterm'.

Here is a sample entry:

HPterm*foreground: white

HPterm*background: rgb:68/90/C4

14.31.4 Using the X-window graphical interface

To start Visual Interface for WDB in graphical mode with mouse support, run Visual Interface for WDB with the command:

/opt/langtools/bin/vdb

With a mouse you can do the following:

•Left-click the line number to insert or remove breakpoints.

•Left-click an identifier to select the identifier as an operand for the Print, Print*, Type, and List softkeys.

•Where necessary, manually select an expression by dragging the cursor over it.

•Right-click the line number to activate a pop-up menu with several useful commands.

•Right-click an identifier to automatically select it and use the selection as an operand for the pop-up window that appears.

•Right-click an empty region for a third pop-up menu with several useful actions. For example, see “Saving the contents of a debugging session to a file” (page 237).

•Left-click the command softkeys at the bottom of Visual Interface for WDB window.

•Click the middle button to paste the selection.

•Drag the status bar with the mouse to resize the debugger window relative to the source window.
