After the window has been created I create the colormap and attach it to the window by calling: color_map = XCreateColormap( display, window_id, visual, AllocAll ); XSetWindowColormap( display, window_id, color_map ); To get the color cells allocated I use XStoreColor( display, colormap, &color_cell ); A call to XQueryColor returned the correct values in the cell. Unfortunately the window appears to still be using the default colormap. If I allocate cells in the default map as well as my new colormap and set them appropriately the map is drawn up correctly. I'm using a Sun 3/60 and R3 of the server. I really appreciate any help that anyone can give me on this.
