I get this error fairly frequently - it's not fatal but would be nice to get rid of it :

Code:

Warning: Color name "QuickHelpForeground" is not defined

Before I spend two days searching through Techpubs, does anyone know offhand where the QuickHelpForeground color could be defined ?

Are you using the xpdf XResources that were posted e.g. here: http://forums.nekochan.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=16725367 . I'm still using them as well, but I don't see any such warnings. This is the offending bit:

Code:

Xpdf*VkQuickHelpPopup*background: SGI_DYNAMIC QuickHelpBackground

Xpdf*VkQuickHelpPopup*foreground: SGI_DYNAMIC QuickHelpForeground

You'll either have to find some other color that is (still?) defined in the SGI color schemes e.g. in usr/lib/X11/schemes, or modify your schemes to define QuickHelpForeground, like those guys here do:

Thank you, saved me an hour looking for where it hides. The scheme didn't like #000000 but it's fine with #210030 so fine by me. I ain't no artiste

Some day it would be nice to make up a scheme that's not so gaudy. IndigoMagic is okay but some of them, woo-hoo !
