Assuming you use Motif 2.x, almost everything except the colours can be
fixed by including these four lines in your ~/.Xdefaults file:

*enableEtchedInMenu: True
*enableThinThickness: True
*enableToggleColor: True
*enableToggleVisual: True

It's a shame these aren't True by default in Motif 2, they make Motif
apps look 100 times better IMHO.

The resources are stored in .dt/sessions/{home|current}/dt.resources. I
guess you can get most or all the colour-related resources by grep'ing
that file for "background" and "foreground".
