You might try:
info.background: color
info.foreground: color
Geometry is not advisable as ALL info windows will pick up the
geometry. All the standard Motif menu bar resources apply as well

to be performed on all information data bases on start-up. -n specifies
which of the 4 "primary navigation articles" to load on start-up.

Good suggestions.
