Customize xterm (ubuntu)

  • 1
I'v been using the xterm terminal for about a week now. I wanted to change it from the black text on a white background to a more matrix look for my fluxbox theme.

Edit ~/.Xdefaults with vim, gedit or your favourite editor. For example:
gedit ~/.Xdefaults

The text/code to change the background and forground (to go in the file).
XTerm*background: Black
XTerm*foreground: Green


After that run the comand below to activate the changes.
xrdb ~/.Xdefaults

  1. This is by far the simplest and most effective method. Although posted back in 2006, it still works nicely.
