Xdefaults and Xresources
 

I've loaded both with these configs:

But neither of them are loading, it actually did loaded yesterday, but when I closed it, it didn't load again, I first tried with Xresouces and then with Xdefaults and none of them are working. Any clues?

The filenames should be .Xdefaults and .Xresources (note the dots)
After changing a file you can load it with:

xrdb -load .Xdefaults

By the way you don't need to use both. One is usually ok.

I'm using only one and none of them work.

rxvt inheritPixmp :true

is wrong anyway I think. There should be either a . or * after rxvt. Does

xrdb -load .Xdefaults give any errors?

Hi,

dive is correct

Also a miss-spell -- inheritPixmap instead of inheritPixmp (missing 'a').
happens to me all the time :)

I have 'Rxvt*inheritPixmap: true' and it works for me.

Edit:

I guess that config files needs more informations or something like that, I got a sample .Xdefaults (link), edited it and it worked.

Hmm, .Xdefaults is not starting along with X so I have to load it with xrdb -load .Xdefaults, how to auto load it?

Thanks for the help!

It should get loaded automatically. If it isn't - and I can't see why unless the filename is wrong or it's in the wrong dir, you can add the xrdb command to your desktop startup file.

Which desktop?

Hi dive,

It's KDE, it actually loads, but the colour doesn't.

.Xdefaults

Hmm all looks good to me. Is that all that's in your .Xdefaults and .Xresources?

Hi,


It's in .Xdefaults, I don't know either why it's not working with the colours, but it's ok even though I've to load it, thanks for helping.

I use rxvt-unicode, and in my .Xdefaults and .Xresources files, I have everything beginning with *URxvt. Are you sure you shouldn't have *Rxvt instead of *rxvt?

Type and then left click on your terminal to get the WM_CLASS.
