The question was why are the colors different. I failed to find an answer in any of the replies. After searching the rather large changelog, I find in Patch #180 - 2003/10/12 - XFree86 4.3.99.15: "use color resource setting from Debian package for xterm VT100 widget, since the choice of blues provides better contrast." If the default color scheme was purposely changed, would not an easier answer had simply been "the default color scheme has changed; use Xdefaults to tailor"? -- DE
