Xterm and Rxvt may be customized permanently using X resources --- variables
that you set in ~/.Xdefaults or ~/.Xresources, which are read by your X
server and made available to clients. Both Xterm and Rxvt allow you to make
very intricate customizations this way. Here are the X resources I use:
! All the following should work on Xterm too. Change 'rxvt' to 'xterm'.
! The following line sets the font to something legible on my monitor
rxvt*font: -misc-fixed-medium-r-normal-*-*-140-*-*-c-*-iso8859-1
! These colors make syntax-highlighted Vim easier to read
rxvt*foreground: white
rxvt*background: black
rxvt*color1: coral
rxvt*color4: #87CEFA
rxvt*color9: red
rxvt*color12: SkyBlue
! Scrollbars just waste space
rxvt*scrollBar: off
rxvt*saveLines: 512
rxvt*scrollTtyOutput: off
rxvt*scrollTtyKeypress: on
rxvt*geometry: 140x64
! I don't think this works on Xterm
rxvt*visualBell: on
The available resources are listed in the program's respective manual pages.
