I don't know anything about icewm. But I can tell you that xterm takes command line flags to set colors and etc. So if you call xterm from the command prompt, you just add the flag. In your window manager, I imagine you can rt. click the icon for it, and edit the command for it. I believe the flag is -bg color. I don't know what valid colors are. But try man xterm. There's another manual, I think its X, that tells you all the flags standard X programs take. Most of them take the same ones (x position, y position, background color, etc). Alternatively, if this is a decently powerful system, you might try a more sophisticated terminal like the gnome or the kde one.
