Pimping XCalc

Hi All,

I have done this in the past and thought I would have another attempt under Q4OS. Xcalc is pretty ugly out of the box but with some mods to your .Xresources can be made to look pretty cool.

xcalc*ti.cursor: hand2
xcalc*ti.command.shapeStyle: rectangle
xcalc*ti.button1.vertDistance: 4
xcalc*ti.button2.vertDistance: 4
xcalc*ti.button3.vertDistance: 4
xcalc*ti.button4.vertDistance: 4
xcalc*ti.button5.vertDistance: 4
xcalc*ti.background: gray90
xcalc*ti.bevel.borderColor: gray65
xcalc*ti.bevel.borderWidth: 1
xcalc*ti.bevel.vertDistance: 4
xcalc*ti.bevel.defaultDistance: 0
xcalc*ti.bevel.background: rgb:b/c/b
xcalc*ti.bevel.screen*background: rgb:b/c/b
xcalc*ti.bevel.screen.borderColor: rgb:b/c/b
xcalc*ti.bevel.screen.vertDistance: 10
xcalc*ti.bevel.screen.horizDistance: 10
xcalc*ti.bevel.screen*left: chainLeft
xcalc*ti.bevel.screen*right: chainRight
xcalc*ti.bevel.screen*top: chainTop
xcalc*ti.bevel.screen*bottom: chainBottom
xcalc*ti.bevel.screen*LCD.foreground: gray10
xcalc*ti.bevel.screen*INV.vertDistance: 0
xcalc*ti.Command.borderColor: gray65
xcalc*ti.Command.background: gray85
xcalc*ti.Command.foreground: gray10
xcalc*ti.button5.background: rgb:e/b/b
xcalc*ti.button20.background: rgb:e/d/c
xcalc*ti.button25.background: rgb:e/d/c
xcalc*ti.button30.background: rgb:e/d/c

xcalc*ti.button22.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button23.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button24.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button27.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button28.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button29.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button32.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button33.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button34.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button37.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button38.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button39.background: gray95
xcalc*ti.button20.label: /
xcalc*font:6x13
xcalc*ti.button3.font:6x13
xcalc*ti.button3.label:SQRT

Following the above edit you must run

# xrdb -load ~/.Xresources

The only thing that doesn't seem to become persistent is the rectangular buttons. They revert back to rounded after a reboot? Anyone know why?
