the border.
COLORS
If you would like your clock to be viewable in color, include the fol-
lowing in the #ifdef COLOR section you read with xrdb:
*customization: -color
This will cause oclock to pick up the colors in the app-defaults color
customization file: /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults/Clock-color. Below are
the default colors:
Clock*Background: grey
Clock*BorderColor: light blue
Clock*hour: yellow
Clock*jewel: yellow
