I got the latter two to work by saying the following: *VT100.Scrollbar.background: grey *VT100.Scrollbar.foreground: black I'm not sure why the VT100 is necessary; my system has no resource settings more specific than *Scrollbar that would cause the settings you specified to be ignored. So there may be a bug Xrm, Athena, or XTerm here. Changing the thickness doesn't work at all, probably because its effect is overriden by the usage of "backgroundPixmap".
