xterm background color
Hi
I want to see xterm background color black. so I created a file in my home/dir .Xresources $ cat .Xresources XTerm*bg: black but that did not do it. what do I need to do? thanks |
$HOME/.Xdefaults
if you don't want a color then XTerm*colorMode: off or you can start xterm -cm then it's mono you can choose between 16 RGB color types all explained in man pages. to test it you can issue the command: xrdb -merge $HOME/.Xdefaults for e.g. color 3 as darkred would be XTerm*color3: darkred you also can use the xtermset-Homepage from here then you could for e.g. set a blinking red coursor like this xtermset tc Red and also use another title like this xtermset title "Linux rocks" and with xtermset bg you would change the backgroud. hope you'll be happy then :-) |
thanks,
I am not sure whats wrong with this, I created a file $HOME/.Xdefaults and in it I placed the lines; xtermset bg: Black xtermset tc: Red xtermset title: "Linux rocks" I tried without the colon and it complained it wants it, I tried with "*" between xterm and bg it did not change any thing when I issued either of the commands [fred@localhost ~]$ xrdb -merge .Xdefaults [fred@localhost ~]$ xrdb -load .Xdefaults |
xtermset is a tool
you'll have to download and do this make install stuff ;-) |
is there a known good repository to get the .rpm file or google and get what ever comes first in the list?
|
Here you can download it
http://freshmeat.net/projects/xtermset/ and then tar xzvf xtermset-0.5.2.tar.gz cd xtermset-0.5.2 ./configure make install then you can use the xtermset functions |
You should also note that whenever you change your .Xdefaults you must restart x before it takes effect. That threw me for a loop when I first tried messing with colors in xterm.
