Pete,
There isn't an X resource that controls this, it computes an "appropriate"
disabled appearance based upon the enabled appearance. The closest resource
I can find is XmNlabelInsensitivePixmap which is obviously not what's needed
here.
If this is for an app you're writing then a workaround is to change the
widget's font to bold whenever it's disabled, as this makes its disabled
appearance more readable. The snippet below demonstrates this (and this
would only be appropriate when running on motif). Beyond doing this I can't
find a way to set or override the native behaviour.
public static void main(String[] args) {
Display display = new Display();
Shell shell = new Shell(display);
shell.setBounds(10, 10, 300, 100);
Color red = new Color(display, 255, 0, 0);
// black, non-bold
Button b1 = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
b1.setText("button 1");
b1.setEnabled(false);
b1.setBounds(10, 10, 50, 30);
// black, bold
Button b2 = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
b2.setText("button 2");
b2.setEnabled(false);
b2.setBounds(70, 10, 50, 30);
FontData data[] = b2.getFont().getFontData();
for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
data[i].setStyle(data[i].getStyle() | SWT.BOLD);
}
Font newFont = new Font(display, data);
b2.setFont(newFont);
// red, non-bold
Button b3 = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
b3.setText("button 3");
b3.setEnabled(false);
b3.setBounds(130, 10, 50, 30);
b3.setForeground(red);
// red, bold
Button b4 = new Button(shell, SWT.PUSH);
b4.setText("button 4");
b4.setEnabled(false);
b4.setBounds(190, 10, 50, 30);
b4.setForeground(red);
data = b4.getFont().getFontData();
for (int i = 0; i < data.length; i++) {
data[i].setStyle(data[i].getStyle() | SWT.BOLD);
}
Font newFont2 = new Font(display, data);
b4.setFont(newFont2);
shell.open();
while (!shell.isDisposed()) {
if (!display.readAndDispatch()) display.sleep();
}
newFont.dispose();
newFont2.dispose();
red.dispose();
display.dispose();
}

Thanks Grant.
Guess I'll sublcass those controls which are in my parts of the app and try
what you suggest.
Of course all the rest of the platform will remain as is ... but that's what
you get for using Motif.
