   I was not aware that the good old #X11 #xclock appliation was now in colour by default ... (The monochrome one on the left is the traditional one exported from a #Solaris 10 system that I'm using today!)

   (And yes, I'm glossing over the fact that the Solaris machine seems to be in a time warp.)

     @sxa From the xclock man page:

     Xclock believes the system clock.

     (I suspect defaulting to colour is a distro or user thing. With no customizations whatsoever, building from source gives me monochrome. I can get the colour version by running xclock -xrm '*customization: -color', although that option isn't available for xclock on Solaris 10 by the look of it. Still, that xrm setting will give you coloured apps if there's a color app-defaults file installed.)
