Re: how can I make xterm just like the console ? (colors, etc.)

Hi!

 *VT100*foreground: gray90
 *VT100*background: black
 
 Beware that these might be changed next time you update Xorg. So as an
 alternative, you can create a file ~/.Xresources, and put these two
 lines in it.

Probably you mean ~/.Xdefaults

The default xinitrc file distributed with X.org uses .Xresources AFAIK:

% cat -n /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/xinitrc
 1  #!/bin/sh
 2  # $Xorg: xinitrc.cpp,v 1.3 2000/08/17 19:54:30 cpqbld Exp $

 4  userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
 5  usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap

how can I make xterm just like the console ? (colors, etc.)

2005-05-24 Thread Joe Schmoe
Hello,

I am used to using the console for things like bitchx,
nethack, etc.

Now I have started using Xorg in 5.4-RELEASE (with the
ion window manager).  I notice that the xterm program
comes up with black text on a white background, and
that colors in BitchX, etc., are not the same as they
were in the console.

Can someone tell me what configuration I need to make
the colors (and as much other behavior as possible) in
xterm identical to the normal FreeBSD console ?

thanks.

Edit the file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color-static, and
change 

! Uncomment this for white text on a dark background.
!*VT100*foreground: gray90
!*VT100*background: black

an easy way is to run xterm -ls -fg white -bg black

man xterm to see what those options actually do
