The way I do it is via the .Xdefaults file. Here's a sample of my .Xdefaults file: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ! XTERM ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xterm*termName: xterm-color xterm*scrollBar: False xterm*cursorColor: yellow xterm*foreground: white xterm*background: black That first line starting with xterm sets the terminal variable to xterm-color. The other stuff does other configuration to xterm. Take a look at the xterm manpage. I know it's very long and confusing, but it does have some intersting information. Don't be to intimidated by it, it took me a few times through it to comprehend it all.
