On my system, Debian squeeze, the resource files for xterm are: /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color
xterm loads its resources from /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm, but if you add the line XTerm*customization: -color To your ~/.Xdefaults file, then xterm loads will load its resources from file /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color instead. /etc/X11/app-defaults/XTerm-color includes everything from /etc/X11/app- defaults/XTerm plus sets the colors to give you white text on black background (or whatever is defined in XTerm-color) You can even put: *customization: -color in your ~/.Xdefaults and then all apps, not just xterm, will use the ???-color resource files. -- xterm background colour used to be black, now white https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/421261 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
