The xv color editor resources take the general form:
xv.state.item: val
You can change the contents of the 'shortcut' menus in the Pad command dialog box using the following resource format:
xv.pad.menu.slot
Where menu is one of 'color', 'bggen', 'load', and slot is 'val0' .. 'val9', or 'name0' .. 'name9'. The 'val's are string resources that hold the actual 'shortcut text' that is entered when you select this menu choice. The 'name's are optional, and are the short descriptions listed on the menus.
For instance, to add the items 'yellow', and 'blue' to the 'color' menu, stick these lines in your .Xdefaults (or .Xresources) file:
xv.pad.color.name0: yellow xv.pad.color.val0: 255 255 0 xv.pad.color.name1: blue xv.pad.color.val1: 0 0 255
