   Each line in the X resource file specifies a value for one option or
-for a collection of related options.  Each resource specification
+for a collection of related options.  The order in which the lines
+appear in the file does not matter.  Each resource specification
 consists of a @dfn{program name} and a @dfn{resource name}.  Case
 distinctions are significant in each of these names.  Here is an
 example:
 
 @example
-emacs.borderWidth: 2
+emacs.cursorColor: dark green
 @end example
 
-@ifnottex
   The program name is the name of the executable file to which the
 resource applies.  For Emacs, this is normally @samp{emacs}.  To
 specify a definition that applies to all instances of Emacs,
 regardless of the name of the Emacs executable, use @samp{Emacs}.
 
   The resource name is the name of a program setting.  For instance,
-Emacs recognizes a @samp{borderWidth} resource that controls the width
-of the external border for graphical frames.
+Emacs recognizes a @samp{cursorColor} resource that controls the color
+of the text cursor.
 
   Resources are grouped into named classes.  For instance, the
-@samp{BorderWidth} class contains both the @samp{borderWidth} resource
-(which we just described), as well as the @samp{internalBorder}
-resource, which controls the width of the internal border for
-graphical frames.  Instead of using a resource name, you can use a
-class name to specify the same value for all resources in that class.
-Here's an example:
-
-@example
-emacs.BorderWidth: 2
-@end example
-
-  If you specify a value for a class, it becomes the default for all
-resources in that class.  You can specify values for individual
-resources as well; these override the class value, for those
-particular resources.  The following example specifies 2 as the
-default width for all borders, but overrides this value with 4 for the
-external border:
+@samp{Foreground} class contains the @samp{cursorColor},
+@samp{foreground} and @samp{pointerColor} resources (@pxref{Table of
+Resources}).  Instead of using a resource name, you can use a class
+name to specify the default value for all resources in that class,

-  The order in which the lines appear in the file does not matter.
-One way to experiment with the effect of different resource settings
-is to use the @code{editres} program.  See the @code{editres} man page

-  The most common way to customize the GTK widgets Emacs uses (menus, dialogs

-
-You can also do Emacs specific customization
-by inserting GTK style directives in the file @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc},
-but only if you have a Gtk+ version earlier than 3 (i.e. 2).   Some GTK
-themes ignore customizations in @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc} so not everything
-works with all themes.  To customize Emacs font, background, faces, etc., use
-the normal X resources (@pxref{Resources}).  We will present some examples of

-
-  The thing to note is that the font name is not an X font name, but a
-Pango font name.  A Pango font name is basically of the format "family
-style size", where the style is optional as in the case above.  A name

-  To customize widgets you first define a style and then apply the style to
-the widgets.  Here is an example that sets the font for menus, but not
-for other widgets:
+  If Emacs is compiled with GTK+ toolkit support, the simplest way to
+customize its GTK+ widgets (e.g., menus, dialogs, tool bars and
+scroll bars) is to choose an appropriate GTK+ theme, for example with
+the GNOME theme selector.
+
+  In GTK+ version 2, you can also use @dfn{GTK+ resources} to
+customize the appearance of GTK+ widgets used by Emacs.  These
+resources are specified in either the file @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}
+(for Emacs-specific GTK+ resources), or @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0} (for
+general GTK+ resources).  We recommend using @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc},
+since GTK+ seems to ignore @file{~/.gtkrc-2.0} when running GConf with
+GNOME@.  Note, however, that some GTK themes may override
+customizations in @file{~/.emacs.d/gtkrc}; there is nothing we can do
+about this.  GTK+ resources do not affect aspects of Emacs unrelated
+to GTK+ widgets, such as fonts and colors in the main Emacs window;
+those are governed by normal X resources (@pxref{Resources}).
+
+  The following sections describe how to customize GTK+ resources for
+Emacs.  For details about GTK+ resources, see the GTK+ API document at
+@uref{http://developer.gnome.org/gtk2/stable/gtk2-Resource-Files.html}.
+
+  In GTK+ version 3, GTK+ resources have been replaced by a completely
+different system.  The appearance of GTK+ widgets is now determined by
+CSS-like style files: @file{gtk-3.0/gtk.css} in the GTK+ installation
+directory, and @file{~/.themes/@var{theme}/gtk-3.0/gtk.css} for local
+style settings (where @var{theme} is the name of the current GTK+
+theme).  Therefore, the description of GTK+ resources in this section
+does not apply to GTK+ 3.  For details about the GTK+ 3 styling
+system, see
+@uref{http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/3.0/GtkCssProvider.html}.

-  There are three ways to specify a color: by name, in hexadecimal
-form, and with an RGB triplet.
-
-@noindent
-A color name is written within double quotes, for example @code{"red"}.
-
-@noindent
-Hexadecimal form is the same as in X:
-@code{#@var{rrrr}@var{gggg}@var{bbbb}}, where all three color specs
-must have the same number of hex digits (1, 2, 3 or 4).
-
-@noindent
-An RGB triplet looks like @code{@{ @var{r}, @var{g}, @var{b} @}},
-where @var{r}, @var{g} and @var{b} are either integers in the range
-0-65535 or floats in the range 0.0-1.0.
-
-  Pango font names have the form ``@var{family-list} @var{style-options}
-@var{size}.''
-@cindex Pango font name
-@noindent
-@var{family-list} is a comma separated list of font families optionally
-terminated by a comma.  This way you can specify several families and the
-first one found will be used.  @var{family} corresponds to the second part in
-an X font name, for example in

-
-@noindent
-the family name is @samp{times}.
-
-@noindent
-@var{style-options} is a whitespace separated list of words where each word
-is a style, variant, weight, or stretch.  The default value for all of
-these is @code{normal}.
-
-@noindent
-A `style' corresponds to the fourth part of an X font name.  In X font
-names it is the character @samp{r}, @samp{i} or @samp{o}; in Pango
-font names the corresponding values are @code{normal}, @code{italic},
-or @code{oblique}.
-
-@noindent
-A `variant' is either @code{normal} or @code{small-caps}.
-Small caps is a font with the lower case characters replaced by
-smaller variants of the capital characters.
-
-@noindent
-Weight describes the ``boldness'' of a font.  It corresponds to the third
-part of an X font name.  It is one of @code{ultra-light}, @code{light},
-@code{normal}, @code{bold}, @code{ultra-bold}, or @code{heavy}.
-
-@noindent
-Stretch gives the width of the font relative to other designs within a
-family.  It corresponds to the fifth part of an X font name.  It is one of
-@code{ultra-condensed}, @code{extra-condensed}, @code{condensed},
-@code{semi-condensed}, @code{normal}, @code{semi-expanded},
-@code{expanded}, @code{extra-expanded}, or @code{ultra-expanded}.
