Hi all,

I've been using XQuartz for many years on several different Macs. In the past my customized window settings have been retained during OS updates. By this I mean my choice of initial size, text and background colors.

I have just updated my 2010 MacPro from El Camino to High Sierra, and my settings have been lost. I get the default small black-on-white window.

It is so long since I set up those choices I can't remember how to do it...

They seem to have been saved in ~/.Xresources and are still present, but no longer being used:

xterm.vt100.saveLines: 1000
! Colors
!.xterm.vt100.background: firebrick4
.xterm.vt100.background: rgb:6f/0/0
.xterm.vt100.foreground: lightyellow1
! Geometry
.xterm.vt100.geometry: 160x48+512+200

I tried copying these settings to ~/.profile and /etc/profile and ~/.bashrc with no success.

Can anyone guide me on how to fix this?

Thanks very much,

Phil.
