Re: Changing Xterm's Configuration



Apparently, _John Lowell_, on 17/02/05 21:24,typed:
Having altered and realtered the appearance of xterm countless times in various distros, I'm baffled as to why it is that the standard approaches to changing something as simple as foreground color don't work in Debian. Using both command line items in the fluxbox menu or by creating and editing an ~/.Xdefaults, my xterminal seems impervious to positive alteration. I can change -fg to black from white after having selected -bg gray, for example, and nothing at all happens. What am I missing here?

I was trying a similar thing; just wanted to change the default fonts (CTRL+RightClick i believe) in xterm. I had to copy the .Xdefaults file I had modified to .Xdefaults-red for my machine named "red". Then it worked.
