Bug#932375: RE: RE: Re: Bug#932375: UXTerm: reversion of colors won't work
I know about the -rv option. It's one-off, i.e., you have to provide it again and again. As for .xinitrc, I thought that wayland doesn't source it on startup. > > Anyway, having said all that, what's the "official" way to have the uxterm > > default colors *automatically* white-on-black now? > > well... it's not a bug in xterm, > but rather a deficiency in packaging or configuration. The command-line option -rv is the easy way to turn on reverse-video: -rv This option indicates that reverse video should be simulated by swapping the foreground and background colors. The corresponding resource name is reverseVideo. and if I wanted to make my .xinitrc more portable, I'd use -fg and -bg

Now properly formatted such that the html output is ok. $ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE wayland $ echo $DESKTOP_SESSION gnome $ cat /etc/X11/default-display-manager /usr/sbin/gdm3 After taking a look at the reason why they dropped support for loading .Xresources by default (cf. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1225384), I decided to test whether that old reason is still valid. It is not: $ cat ~/.Xresources UXTerm*reverseVideo: true $ time xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources real 0m0,018s user 0m0,012s sys 0m0,006s This time spent is clearly below what a human would need to type in "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources" manually and way below what a human is able to perceive. But complaining on this regression might belong to a different bug, I guess. Anyway, having said all that, what's the "official" way to have the uxterm default colors *automatically* white-on-black now?
