DESCRIPTION

XmeGetDefaultPixel generates a color associated with a logical component of a widget. For example, you can use XmeGetDefaultPixel to find the foreground color of widget.

XmeGetDefaultPixel uses the screen's background color to calculate the foreground, top shadow, bottom shadow, or select color.

XmBACKGROUND
Specifies a request for the default background color of the screen.

XmFOREGOUND

XmTOP_SHADOW
Specifies a request for the generated top shadow color. The top shadow is the portion of the shadow that is generally above and to the left of the widget.

Specifies a request for the generated bottom shadow color. The bottom shadow is the portion of the shadow that is generally below and to the right of the widget.
