Three solutions:
1) decide that the default xterm isn't so ugly after all.
2) Modify Xresources to make the xterm that appears with "xterm" be
what you want; putting the following into ~/.Xresources (and either
restarting X or running "xrdb -merge ~/.Xresources") will do that:
xterm*background: black
xterm*foreground: white
xterm*cursorColor: green
(You can put these lines into /etc/X11/Xresources to affect every
account on your machine)
3) Modify the menu entry - to do this, you should (as root) copy
/usr/lib/menu/default/xbase to /etc/menu/xbase and then edit it,
changing the "xterm" to "xterm -bg black -cr green -fg white" so that
a portion of that file reads:
?package(xbase):needs=x11 section=XShells \
longtitle="Xterm: terminal emulator for X" title=Xterm\
command="xterm -bg black -cr green -fg white"
You should then (as root) run "update-menus". You can also (if you
want to make this change just for your account, and not for all the
others on your system) put the modified xbase file into ~/.menu/xbase
and run update-menus as your normal (non-root) user.
