X11 is a GUI of NetHack, mainly used on unix-type operating systems. If your copy of NetHack has that compiled in, you can enable it by setting OPTIONS=windowtype:X11 in your config file.
X11 can do both tile-graphics and ASCII.
If you do not have any X11 resources set for NetHack, all windows will be black text on white background, and this makes playing almost impossible, unless you turn off color.
List of some of the X resources NetHack accepts:
| Resource string | Value | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| NetHack*background | color | Sets the background color of all NetHack windows |
| NetHack*foreground | color | Sets the foreground color of all NetHack windows |
| NetHack*map*background | color | Sets the background color of the map |
| NetHack*map*black | color | Sets the color 'black' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*red | color | Sets the color 'red' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*green | color | Sets the color 'green' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*brown | color | Sets the color 'brown' in map to some other color |
| NetHack*map*blue | color | Sets the color 'blue' in map to some other color |
