- Note that XBoard no longer pays attention to options values specified +in the .Xresources file. +(Specifying key bindings there will still work, though.) +To alter the default of volatile options, you can use the following method: +Rename your ~/.xboardrc settings file (to ~/.yboardrc, say), and create +a new file ~/.xboardrc, which only contains the options + +
-settingsFile ~/.yboardrc + -saveSettingsFile ~/.yboardrc ++
This will cause your settings to be saved on ~/.yboardrc in the future,

+You can then safely specify volatile options in ~/.xboardrc, either
+before or after the settingsFile options.
+Note that when you specify persistent options after the settingsFile options
+in ~/.xboardrc, you will essentially turn them into volatile options
+with the specified value as default, because that value will overrule
+the value loaded from the settings file (being read later).
